Becoming A Therapist in My 30s

In this vulnerable conversation, Helen sits down with Diana Jorda—a mental health professional with a powerful story of healing and purpose. Diana opens up about growing up as a military child in a Filipino-Chamorro household, the impact of emotional neglect, and the pressure to perform and “keep it together” in her work. She shares how trauma shaped her early identity, and how entering the mental health field forced her to confront, unpack, and ultimately heal the parts of herself she had hidden. Whether you're navigating your own healing or supporting someone who is, this episode is an honest, hopeful look at what it means to come home to yourself.
