Dr. Charleanea Arellano is a psychologist, transformational guide, and fellow First who has spent 35 years helping thousands turn their pain into power. As a queer Latina who grew up in neglect and poverty, she understands firsthand what it means to navigate spaces that weren't designed for you while carrying stories that both protected and limited you.
Her mission is simple: to help those who've been taught to hide their pain use it as the raw material for their personal power. Through her work, she breaks cycles of invisibility, burnout, and misalignment by offering truth, tools, and sacred witness to people ready to transform their survival into success.
