Mayim Vega and stories of her mother Corazon (Spanish for heart) are featured in this week's episode of SHLTMM Podcast. Mayim (Hebrew for water) was born in the Philippines and immigrated to the United States at a young age with her family. Calling Texas her home now by way of California, Mayim and her nine children have quite the story to share.
My guest lived in California upon arriving in the US from the Philippines with her mom and dad and two older brothers. There definitely was a big adjustment to make culturally and that took a tole on Mayim as a young teen.
With both parents working full time, Mayim was often left to her own devices. She's very happy that her children are not exposed to the same socio-cultural conflicts. All of her nine children are home schooled.
Mayim did a complete about face when it came to her career. She used to be a computer scientist and engineer at NASA Ames Research Center in Moffet Field, CA. Now she is a Naturopathic Herbalist and founder of Arukah- the Holistic Life Academy. In other words, Mayim is someone that uses all sorts of holistic methods for healing, including diet, nutrition, orthomolecular nutrition-mega dose vitamin therapy and detoxification including toxic mindset/toxic relationships, etc.
Corazon or Cora as her mom likes to be called had a positive impact on her daughter's life regardless of the fact that she worked and worked and worked when Mayim was young.
Hope you enjoy this conversation.
