Amiga, if Spanglish is your love language, this episode is for you.
This week, we dive into what it's like being bilingual millennial moms, raising bilingual kids, and living in a world where we constantly shift between languages without even thinking about it. Lina shares how she thinks in Spanish, and how that’s shaped the way she communicates, especially as someone who grew up navigating the stigma of speaking with an accent in the U.S.
Pia brings the science and reminds us that being bilingual is actually amazing for your neuroplasticity. Sí, amiga. Spanglish isn’t just how we speak, it’s literally good for your brain.
We also talk about the intentional ways we’re keeping both languages alive in our homes, how we’re creating space for our kids to be proud of their bilingualism, and why speaking Spanglish feels like home.
