In many Latino families, saying “yes” is often expected — to family requests, cultural obligations, or traditions. In this episode, we explore the importance of setting boundaries, the courage it takes to say “no,” and how doing so with love and respect can strengthen relationships and personal well-being.

In this episode, we explore how respect was taught and enforced in Latino households — often through silence, obedience, or hierarchy. For many of us, respeto meant knowing your place, not talking back, and putting adults above all. But those lessons, while rooted in love and protection, sometimes came with fear, distance, or misunderstanding. Together, we’ll unpack what respect looked like in our family, what it protected, and what it cost — and how we want to redefine respeto for the next generation with love, dignity, and mutual understanding.

In this episode, we talk about how work shaped our families — especially as immigrants and first-generation children. For our parents, work wasn’t just a job; it was survival, dignity, and sacrifice. But sometimes, that came with a cost: exhaustion, absence, or the belief that worth is tied only to hard labor. Together, we’ll reflect on how Papi’s relationship with work shaped the family, how it shaped me as his daughter, and what it means to redefine worth for the next generation.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to be “the first.” For me, as a first-generation Mexican American daughter, that role has shaped so much of my life — carrying my parents’ sacrifices, navigating spaces they never walked in, and trying to honor where I come from while choosing my own path. Being the first comes with pride, but also with pressure, fear, and sometimes loneliness. Together with Papi, we’ll reflect on what being the first has meant for both of us — and for the generations that follow.

In this episode, we explore the invisible pressures that are passed down through generations — the dreams our parents carried, the sacrifices they made, and the unspoken rules we inherit without question. Together, we’ll reflect on how these expectations shaped our lives, how they guided (and sometimes limited) our choices, and what it looks like to both honor our families’ sacrifices while carving our own path forward. This is a conversation about legacy, freedom, and the courage to write a new story.

In this episode, Papi opens up about what it really felt like to carry the weight of being a father: the provider, the protector, the one expected to always be strong. We explore the isolation and silent burdens that men of his generation carried, the moments he felt alone even within family, and how those unspoken pressures shaped the way he parented. This is a conversation about breaking that loneliness through honesty, connection, and the courage to share our truths.

Episode Description

In this episode, Papi and I talk about the moment everything shifts: when you become a parent yourself, and suddenly you see your own childhood with new perspective. We open up about the realizations, the forgiveness, the grief, and even the anger that surfaces when you realize what your parents carried — and what they couldn’t give. This is a conversation about breaking cycles, holding compassion, and giving ourselves permission to parent differently.

Episode Description:

In this episode of La Mesa con Papi, we confront something almost never discussed: parental failure. Families often teach us that parents must be perfect—but what happens when mistakes, disappointments, or harm occur?

We explore how failure doesn’t erase love, how honesty can rebuild trust, and how confronting imperfections can transform disappointment into growth—for both parent and child.

Join us at La Mesa con Papi as we navigate imperfection, vulnerability, and the beauty of choosing connection over silence.

This week, we bring the whole family to the mic. Joined by our mom and brother, we’re holding space for a conversation that’s part healing circle, part celebration, and part real talk about what it means to grow together as a family. We explore identity, roles, resilience, and what it means to “show up” for one another—even when it’s messy, complicated, or long overdue.

From laughs and light-hearted memories to deep reflections on parenting, sibling dynamics, and generational growth, this episode invites you into a raw, loving, and layered family dialogue.
