Today we are getting to know one of our four amigas better, Michy. Tuning in you’ll hear about Michelle’s background growing up in Venezuela, how her family came to immigrate to the USA when the political situation started changing, her initial resistance to the move, and how her perspective changed over time. Michelle opens up about the events that shaped who she is today from learning independence to her financial struggles, and the stories of the toxic relationships she got involved in and then got out of. She opens up about how her parent’s marriage modeled for her what she believed she was supposed to put up with as a wife and how she found the courage to leave her abusive husband after 12 years. She explains how she diminished her level of tolerance for abuse and stopped repeating the pattern. Tuning in, you’ll find out about the profound revelation she had from a conversation with her ex-husband and how this impacted her life. For some great wisdom from an inspirational woman who has overcome so much, tune in today! Please note that this episode carries a trigger warning for domestic abuse.

There is a difference between having friends and having friends you do life with. The four of us have a very unique friendship that grew organically out of respect, transparency, and love of course! Collectively, we are the best versions of ourselves and we support the best versions of each other. In this episode, we share how we came to be friends who do life together, and what we feel is so special about our connection. We discuss the immense value we’ve gained from our friendship, the commitment we have to each other, and the acceptance we each feel. We also take a look at how this friendship differs from the ones we have with high school friends or from the connection we have with our sisters. Tune in to hear about our journey together as amigas, as well as the most pressing things on our minds today, from enhancement surgery to our kids growing up! We look forward to sharing our friendship with you.

All four of us are mothers, so we know that motherhood is as challenging as it is rewarding! Based on our experiences, in today’s episode, we are going to be sharing our top pieces of advice for all the other moms out there. We discuss the approaches that we have taken to discipline, teaching our children about budgeting, instilling a sense of responsibility in them, and more! We also dive into our experiences of “mom guilt” and how we have learned to navigate these feelings. It’s important to remember that every mom and every child is different and although it is very helpful to learn from others’ experiences, at the end of the day, you need to trust yourself to make the decisions for your family unit. This episode also serves as a reminder that nobody is perfect so don’t aim for perfection as a parent, just aim to be the best mom that you can be!

Women seem to face a near-constant stream of scrutiny, whether it’s about the way we dress, the lifestyle choices we make, how we parent our children, or how we forge ahead in the corporate world. Even if you aren’t aware of it, nearly everyone is guilty at some point of tearing a woman down and, oftentimes, it’s other women who are the biggest critics, not necessarily men. Fortunately, figuring out how to stop making negative comments about women in your everyday life can be as simple as getting real with yourself about your behavior and examining how these microaggressions might be reflections of your own fears or insecurities. Tune in today to learn more!

We live in a world of many conflicting beliefs and opinions, and unfortunately there is a trend toward giving the loudest voices in the room precedence over the rest. In today's conversation between the Four Amigas, we unpack some of the issues we have with intolerance in today's society. We see these problems arising in all areas of modern life, whether we are in the workplace, at schools, or attending family gatherings, creating an unsafe and unaccepting atmosphere for many people. With so many hot-button political issues and the prevalence of social media in our lives, it can be hard to escape the judgment of others and the cruel ways that different stances can lead to being discounted. To hear us talk about how this relates to important subjects such as abortion laws and freedom of religion, and how we can begin to have more respect and space for different opinions and belief systems, tune in today!

In the light of the recent school shooting in Texas, the four amigas reflect on this tragedy and some of the many other tragedies that have affected children over the past few years. We all lived close to Parkland when tragedy struck in our community a few years ago and we reflect on how, to this day, it continues to affect us and our kids. Tuning in, you’ll hear why we believe everyone has a role to play in making spaces safer for children. We discuss why we need to be using our voices for good, not blaming others, and how if you are feeding hate or divisiveness, you are part of the problem. We touch on topics such as gun control and mental health before Marcy breaks down what she believes could be the solution to this problem. The amigas feel that everyone with a platform should be using it for something positive, and today we use ours to reinforce that we are all responsible for making this world a better place for our kids!

Today’s conversation also explores the impact of family planning and parenthood on our relationships with our partners and former partners. One thing we all agree on is that nobody can challenge and reward us the way our children do through every phase of life. Join us to hear what becoming mothers and being mothered means to each of us today.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has had global ramifications, driving the cost of fuel and food up significantly. As a result, Business Insider released an article that suggests that Americans budget an extra $5200 this year. Join the Amigas today as they discuss this article and how the price increases have affected their parenting. We dive into the discussion with why Marcy feels that $5200 is not enough, and how each of the Amigas are tightening their belts. As mothers, it's important to the Amigas not to let their kids suffer the same way they did, but how do you get them to appreciate the value of money when they have never been exposed to it? Daimy talks us through how she has changed her attitude towards what she cooks, while GG breaks down the challenges of being a yes mom. The key takeaway from today is to be mindful of your finances, and to parent in such a way that your kids are mindful (but not stressed!) about finances too. For all this, and so much more, press “Play” now.
