What men carry isn’t always visible—and most of the time, they don’t talk about it.

In this episode of Primas Pero Not Really, we sit down with JC Perez—husband, father, and co-founder of Cultura Media House—to talk about men’s mental health, fatherhood, and the pressure of being “the man” in today’s world.

From marriage and communication, to raising boys in a different social landscape, to why men often stay silent even when they’re struggling… this conversation gets real.

We get into:

• Men’s mental health and emotional pressure.
• Fatherhood and raising boys today.
• Masculinity and modern expectations.
• The communication on marriage and relationships.
• Why men don’t open up—and what that leads to.

This is an honest one.

If you’ve ever wondered what men are actually dealing with behind the scenes… this episode is for you.

Is it just us, or did everyone forget to mention the massive identity crisis that comes with parenthood? In this episode, the Primas are getting raw and real about the "Parenting Transition"—that jarring shift from being a spontaneous individual to a 24/7 manager of a tiny human.

We aren't talking about diapers or sleep schedules; we’re diving into the psychological toll of mourning your "pre-kid" self, the invisible mental load that keeps you up at night, and the awkward "friendship gap" that happens when your social circle isn't on the same page.

In this conversation, the Primas open up about:

• Losing your sense of self after becoming a mom
• Kids growing up and becoming more independent
• Finding purpose again in a new chapter of life
• The chaos of parenting, schedules, and daily responsibilities
• Generational differences in parenting and communication

This episode is honest, emotional, and relatable for anyone navigating change — whether it’s motherhood, co-parenting, or simply entering a new season of life.

If you’ve ever heard your kids say something and thought, “Should I be concerned… or is that just slang?” — this episode is for you.

In this Season 1 finale of Primas Pero Not Really, we reflect on the podcast's unexpected impact, the feedback that truly moved us, and how sharing our stories has changed our relationships — especially with our kids.

From daughters of divorced moms saying “okay, so my mom wasn’t crazy” to real conversations about co-parenting, healing, and growth… this season hit deeper than we expected.

We test Yvette on Gen Z acronyms (IJS, AMA, LMAO… and more), unpack Latino sayings that may or may not make sense anymore, and fully embrace the fact that we are, in fact, “from the 1900s.”

This episode blends:

• Motherhood and generational gaps
• Healing after divorce
• Co-parenting wins
• Latina abuela wisdom
• Gen Z slang confusion
• And a lot of unfiltered laughter

In this episode, the Primas unpack Valentine’s Day, traditions, pressure, self-love, and intimacy — and how the holiday changes as you grow.

From solo dates and Galentine’s to social media comparisons and “required” romance, Ayeisha, Genise, and Yvette reflect on what still feels meaningful — and what feels performative.

They also touch on intimacy and why a calendar shouldn’t dictate sexy time.

Whether you love Valentine’s Day or roll your eyes at it, this conversation explores what it looks like to rewrite the holiday on your own terms.

This episode blends humor, vulnerability, and unfiltered Latina storytelling.

Co-parenting isn’t easy. In Episode 6, the Primas talk about co-parenting challenges, parenting styles, kids’ activities, and the mental load that comes with raising kids across households.

From juggling calendars and kids’ activities to navigating different parenting styles, discipline, and egos across households, the Primas unpack why co-parenting often feels harder than expected. They talk about the pressure of carrying the mental load, the tension between being the “fun” parent and the “strict” one, and why kids need structure more than friendship.

This episode is honest, familiar, and deeply relatable for anyone co-parenting, single parenting, or raising kids within a blended family. No perfect answers — just real stories, shared experiences, and the reassurance that you’re not imagining how hard this can be.

Real stories. Real chaos. No sugarcoating.

Infidelity isn’t always obvious — and in this episode, the Primas unpack the gray areas people don’t always recognize until it’s too late.

Ayeisha, Genise, and Yvette dive into emotional cheating, blurred boundaries, secrecy, and the moments that quietly erode trust long before anything physical happens. They explore whether cheating is truly black and white, or if emotional attachment, intent, and transparency matter just as much as the act itself.

This conversation goes beyond shock value and gets into the reality of relationships: why emotional cheating can feel more damaging than physical betrayal, how “work spouses” and private messages can cross lines, and why secrecy is often the biggest red flag.

The episode also takes an unexpected turn with a powerful conversation about grace, forgiveness, and putting children first — including navigating infidelity with maturity and welcoming a “bonus child” into the family.

In this episode, the Primas discuss:

• Emotional cheating vs physical cheating
• Why hiding messages changes everything
• “Work wife” and “work husband” boundaries
• Accountability, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust
• Infidelity’s impact on children and family dynamics
• Why some people stay, some leave, and neither choice is simple

This is an honest, thoughtful conversation about relationships, boundaries, and trust — without judgment, sensationalism, or easy answers.

In Episode 4, the Primas dive into the wild, messy, and often unbelievable world of modern dating. From dating apps and red flags to first-date disasters and hard boundaries, Ayeisha, Genise, and Yvette share unfiltered stories and real opinions about what dating actually looks like right now.

They rank dating apps, unpack their worst experiences, and talk honestly about what they will — and won’t — tolerate anymore. From “it’s complicated” situations to mismatched expectations, single-parent realities, and protecting your peace, this episode blends humor, truth, and hard-earned perspective.

In this episode, the Primas discuss:

• The dating apps worth trying (and which ones aren’t)
• Red flags people ignore — until it’s too late
• Worst date stories you can’t make up
• Dating as a single mom and setting clear boundaries
• Why peace matters more than potential
• The tools women are using today to date smarter and safer

Whether you’re actively dating, taking a break, or just listening for the tea, this episode is honest, relatable, and full of laughs — with plenty of “been there” moments along the way.

This episode is warm, honest, and genuinely funny—perfect for anyone trying to create holiday magic while juggling kids, culture, expectations, and new normals.
