In this episode, I share a real-life story about a recent playdate that turned into a powerful lesson on boundaries, communication, and cultural expectations. When another parent reacted negatively to a boundary I set, it forced me to reflect on how I uphold my values — especially as a Latina mom navigating community, respect, and self-worth.

I'll talk about why saying "no" can feel so hard, how cultural norms can shape our boundaries, and what it looks like to stand firm with love and confidence. If you've ever struggled with guilt, people-pleasing, or tough conversations, this episode will resonate deeply.

💬 Topics I cover:

• Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries as a Latina parent

• Handling conflict and difficult conversations gracefully

• The emotional side of saying "no" without guilt

• Cultural pressures and generational expectations

• Building confidence and self-trust in parenting

Whether you're a mom, a parent, or someone learning to honor your own needs, this episode will remind you that boundaries are an act of self-love and respect.

Well that was a long break! When I first started this podcast in 2025 (5 years ago!), it started because I've been a long time writer, and vlogger.

I was so excited about this collaboration with two dynamic Latinas who are paving the way for other young, professional women of color to have interesting conversations.
