Episode notes

When systemic racism, ICE raids, and political violence hit home, the damage isn’t just political it’s deeply personal.

In this episode of Flor Unmuted, therapist Ramon Sanchez, MSW joins Flor Olvera for a raw, urgent conversation about protecting your mental health in the face of fear, injustice, and economic uncertainty.

We talk about what happens to children whose parents are detained, how to care for youth living under constant threat, and why our collective numbness to tragedies — from Gaza to our own neighborhoods — is so dangerous.

Whether you’re a guardian navigating crisis, a first- or second-generation American dealing with cultural guilt, or simply someone struggling to stay human in a desensitized world, Ramon offers practical, real-world tools for resilience.
