A call to own your story.
She is Mother, hosted by Dr. Charleanea Arellano, is where resilience meets radical honesty. Each episode dives into the real, raw truths of human experience: from overcoming adversity to claiming your power. With over 30 years of experience as a psychologist and life coach—and as a queer, Latina leader—Dr. Arellano brings unapologetic warmth, tough love, and a deep understanding of what it takes to thrive.
Whether you’re seeking mentorship, connection, or a spark to ignite your next chapter, She is Mother holds space for you. It’s where the wisdom of a guide, the strength of a leader, and the fierce love of community come together.
This is the zone of transformation. Welcome home.

"It’s never too late to come out fully —whether as your authentic self, your true purpose, or the life you’ve always wanted to live."
