Back to Basics

Hoy nos acompaña mi buen amigo Omar para discutir un poco de la fragilidad que miramos en muchos niños hoy en dia. Por que, de donde viene, como evitarla y que hacer si nuestros hijos/hijas ya están en un estado mentalmente frágil.

Esta es nuestra ultima conversación de esta temporada, no podia pensar en mejor persona con quien terminar esta temporada que con alguien que esta equipado y preparado para este tipo de discusión.

Muchas gracias a todos los que se han tomado el tiempo para escuchar y seguir. Sigan conectandoce, las conversaciones de la segunda temporada ya se están grabando y están buenísimas. Y si les gustaría compartir su historia, nos encantaría platicar con tigo. Déjanos un mensaje/comentario y estaremos en contacto!

Muchísimas gracias de parte de Raquel y Eder!

Alguna vez te ah preguntado tu niño o niña por que es tan diferente? por que no entiende las cosas como los demás? Alejandra comparte con nosotros las dificultades, retos y soluciones que a tenido que buscar (forzosamente en algunos casos) para ayudar a su hija quien fue diagnosticada con ADHD, Depression y Dislexia a tan solo 8 Años de edad.

Estos desafortunadamente no son casos raros y muchos niños sufren de estas condiciones. Que se puede hacer, en donde buscar ayuda? Alejandra nos comparte algunas de las medidas que tuvo que tomar para ayudar a su hija.

Es siguiente es el Link de el hospital que Alejandra recomienda si buscas mas información y ayuda.

On this second part of the conversation we end our discussion on the school system by discussing how much harder COVID and wearing masks has made it to detect abuse on kids. Then we get more personal with Areli as we discuss some of the personal challenges she's had to overcome in her life.

Areli has a YouTube Channel, she has some great content in the works, be sure to check it out and follow her channel on the link below and thanks for listening!

So you know that perspective us parents have right now during covid. Well having this conversation was very helpful because it's not at all what we thought it was. The amount of stress some of these Teachers are feeling is a lot. This is something I've heard before but listening to the experiences directly from Areli who is a Teacher at a public school really helps paint a picture.

I remember being the son of immigrants who didn't speak English, the frustration in my parents for not being able to help us with homework, or understand certain things. So that's still going on, plus add the stress of everything being done through technology and some of the parents not being able to use this technology.

We definitely thank Areli for taking the time to come out and sharing with us. She does have a youtube channel as well, follow the link below to check out her videos and don't forget to follow!

Hace unas semanas estuvimos platicando con Pedro acerca de su experiencia cuando llego a este país. Hoy estoy platicando con Raul, y su experiencia fue muy diferente a la de Pedro.

Nos cuenta que lo iso decidir venir a los Estados Unidos, los retos mas difíciles de moverse a otro país y como pudo superar el miedo.

Keren and Marco share with us the experience as they take on a new adventure each and move to a new place where they have no friends or known relatives. The importances of creating meaningful relationships outside of social media and how they were able to start a new and meaningful life in this new place.

As usual, there was a situation that cause Denise to looks for new solutions to their problems. Some of these problems were finances, learning to budget and taking advantage of opportunities to help save money for the household.

Aside from all the useful things Denise teaches us here, her story is truly inspirational. As a mother and someone who manages all house affairs, Denise found herself in a situation where she had to do something. Fight with her husband over finances or make the best with what they have. She teaches us what she learned and thanks to this not only have they been able to save, they've also been a blessing to many families.

Here are some of the websites and apps Denise uses to save:

https://www.coupons.com (main websites to print coupons)
https://www.fetchrewards.com (cash reward app for IOS and Android)
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ibotta-save-earn-cash-back/id559887125
(ibiotta is also a cash reward app for IOS and Android - Link above is for IOS)

And there are many manufacturers websites that also offer coupons which you can check out if there's one you usually shop mostly.

Everybody wants to be successful but as good as it may seem for some of these successful entrepreneur, we don't see the sacrifices they've had to and continue to make, the sweat and tears and everything else that took for them to get to where they are.

I thought this would be a great story to share as the first of 2021 to start the year in a positive note and with advice for someone who's been successful in her field.

We go a bit into Gaby's story as to how she got started, some set backs, fears and some of the things she missed while building a successful business and school. There's a lot to learn from Gaby so I really do hope ya'll enjoy this as much as I did. There's also Nicole on this conversation whom we thought was not going to do much talking but ended up being part of the conversation, so you may not see her, but you can hear her.

Cancel Culture is everywhere in our society now days. We see it in Hollywood, the news, schools, private companies, organizations. Most times we see the perspective of it attacking churches but never things about Churches canceling people for not thinking the way we do. How much is this really happening in the church though?

We also discuss what life with COVID has been and how it's affected the church and we talk about what we think the future will look like.

Pastor Ivan is one of the Pastors/Churches that I've seen take advantage of Social Media, adding posts in Instagram, Facebook and even TikTok. And Pastor Ivan does not get discouraged by the voices trying to tell him he's doing things wrong. He tells us about some of those things he's doing.

Below are links to his social media pages for those who want to check it out as well as Hope City's pages which is the church we're teamed up with to do this channel.
