Panama Mama: Women Who See Fatherhood (ft. Sonia M.)


Listen Later

In this episode, I pull up a chair with Sonia M.—wife to Chrispin Mayers, Panamanian powerhouse, and veteran TV exec—to spill the tea on fatherhood from the mother’s side of the net. Born and raised in Panama, daughter and sister first, corporate juggernaut second, Sonia blends cultural wisdom with boardroom savvy to give us a fresh playbook on supporting dads, kids, and families in high-stakes arenas.

In this conversation:

• Cultural baseline: how growing up in Panama shaped her understanding of family roles and paternal care

• Daughter & sister serve: lessons learned from the men in her life and how those lessons inform her support of partner-fathers

• Balancing the set: strategies for juggling executive duties in television entertainment while staying present at home

• Primary Play Maker: the art of being a rock-solid single mom

• Intersectional court vision: blending Latinx heritage, expectations, and corporate culture to redefine parenting

Sonia brings heartfelt anecdotes, sharp insights, and that signature Panamanian flair. Tune in for a masterclass on love, leadership, and leveling up your support game—one ace at a time.
