  • Summary

  • What if the key to true belonging lies in embracing both your cultural roots and the new identities you form along the way? Join us as we welcome the extraordinary Dr. Margie Serrato, a first-generation American and trailblazing cultural anthropologist. Dr. Serrato shares her compelling journey of navigating her Colombian heritage while forging an American identity, shedding light on the intricate dance between old traditions and new surroundings. Her story takes us through the pivotal moments that led her to the field of anthropology and her current role as a transformative coach, emphasizing the profound impact of cultural identity, belonging, and authentic human connection. Dr. Serrato offers a candid look at the clash between traditional gender roles and the ideals of gender equality, reflecting on her own experiences with activities traditionally deemed masculine and the societal pushback she faced. Through personal anecdotes, she discusses the internal conflict of balancing familial expectations with her own aspirations, ultimately leading to a transformative moment of self-awareness. We also delve into the inherent human tendency to prioritize fear and self-preservation, exploring how understanding shared human desires can break down barriers and foster genuine progress in diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Further, we unravel the complexities of cultural conditioning and its impact on personal growth and adult relationships. Dr. Serrato's deeply personal stories about domestic violence, infidelity, and societal expectations offer invaluable insights into the layers of emotions that shape our understanding of relationships. By questioning learned beliefs and embracing non-traditional relationship structures, we encourage listeners to create relationships and lives that align with their true selves. Together, we challenge societal norms and inspire self-awareness and personal growth, culminating in a thought-provoking conversation that emphasizes the power of self-acceptance and the freedom it brings. To Connect with Dr. Margie: Dr. Margie Serrato earned her PhD in anthropology with a research focus on gender and culture, and her work was amply funded by the National Science Foundation. But, after many academic accomplishments, Margie realized that she felt disoriented and empty. In her quest to improve her mental health, she dove into self help and personal development. That’s how she stumbled on the field of coaching, in which she subsequently trained. Now, Margie ties her cultural expertise to personal growth, leading others to navigate their unique life voyages with their own compass and sense of direction. * Social links Instagram: dr.margieserrato + AHE.podcast Spotify: A Human Experience Website: human-empowered.com (00:00) Journey of Cultural Anthropologist (06:49) Navigating Gender Roles and Career Expectations (19:54) Understanding Diversity and Inner Growth (30:57) Cultural Conditioning and Personal Growth (35:24) Family Trauma and Emotional Healing (39:50) Navigating Relationships and Societal Expectations (46:22) Identity, Belonging, and Self-Acceptance (01:02:48) Understanding Gender and Beliefs (01:08:31) Challenging Societal Norms and Labels (01:19:01) Questioning Learned Beliefs for Personal Growth (01:25:43) Exploring Non-Traditional Relationships and Intimacy (01:35:58) Building Intimacy and Awareness in Relationships (01:41:36) Exploring Shared Human Experiences Learn more about your ad choices.
