Unlocking Potential: A Conversation with Cío Hernández, PhD

This week, Dr. Powers chats with Cio Hernandez, PhD, MFT, LPCC, Chief Executive Officer and President of The Be It Foundation. Cio loves helping people reach their goals by helping them believe in themselves. Originally from all over Texas, Cio works to provide opportunities to lift South Texas residents to their highest potential.    Cio helped start and runs all sorts of projects and programs working with the homeless, disabled, health, education, equity and inclusion for communities of color, aging, youth, interfaith, sports, children’s running clubs, immigrants, mental health, public policies, violence prevention, opioid reduction, and even pioneered healthy efforts for county fairs.    Cio believes that if you reach the right goal, you can reach that goal, even if it takes some time to get there. In her spare time, she enjoys visiting her son in college, traveling, and running half marathons around the world with her friends and family.    In this episode, Cio dispels the myth(s) behind trauma, why everyone has something in their life they have to overcome, and how spirituality plays a major part in our healing journey.
