This week, I’m sipping on something a little heavier — my fear of raising a son in a world that feels like it hates men. As a woman, I understand the pain and the anger that comes from being mistreated. But as a mom, it breaks my heart to think my little boy might grow up being judged before he even has a chance to show who he really is. I’m sharing my thoughts on raising a good man — one who leads with empathy, kindness, and strength.

Atlanta for work, Miami for play, and three years married — life has been busy! I’m breaking down my recent adventures, why Miami meant so much to me, and the real talk on keeping a marriage strong when things aren’t always easy.

Being a mom of two means your heart is always full… and always torn. In this episode, I get real about the guilt of splitting my time, the pressure I’ve put on myself to keep breastfeeding, and the constant tug-of-war between my babies and my own needs.

In this episode, I get real about mourning an old version of myself—the woman who always saw the bright side. Postpartum, motherhood, and the grind of chasing a career have shifted so much of who I was. I open up about the silent struggle of trying to be all in at work and at home—and the truth that no one really talks about: something always gives. If you’re feeling torn, burnt out, or just missing who you were before life got this loud… this one's for you.

The night my great-grandmother passed away, I was pregnant—and she came to me in a dream to say goodbye. She told me she wouldn’t be here to watch my baby grow up. It wasn’t just a dream… it felt like a message from somewhere deeper, beyond this world.

Friendship breakups hurt in a way no one really prepares you for—especially when there’s no explanation, no argument, just silence.

In this episode, I’m opening up about one of the hardest friendship losses I’ve ever experienced. She wasn’t just a friend—we were like sisters. We met in 7th grade, she lived with my family during high school, and again later with her child. And then, one day, she blocked me—no goodbye, no warning, just gone.

I share how I processed the pain, wrestled with the lack of closure, and finally found peace on my own terms. If you’ve ever lost a friend and been left with questions instead of answers, this one’s for you.

Ever had life laugh at your perfect little timeline? Same. In this episode of Sippin' from My Glass, I’m getting real about the plans I made, the ones that didn’t happen, and how it all still worked out — just not how I imagined.

From not graduating college when I thought I would, to not being “where I was supposed to be” in life… I share how letting go of those expectations actually made room for something better.

If you’ve ever felt behind, stuck, or like you missed your shot — pour yourself a glass, press play, and know you're not alone. Sometimes the unplanned path leads us exactly where we need to be.

This one’s for the mamas in waiting, the hearts hoping, and the ones holding quiet little secrets. In today’s episode, I open up about the emotional rollercoaster of not getting pregnant right away and the silent disappointments. I also reveal a secret we've kept close to our hearts—yes, we did know the gender of our baby the whole time. And for the first time, I share a personal letter I wrote to our child before I was pregnant. 

Episode 1: Sippin Starts Now

Welcome to the very first episode of Sippin from My Glass. I’m your host, Serina Perez—and today, I’m pulling back the curtain on how it all began for me. I’m sharing a piece of my story, the real and raw parts: questioning if there’s ever a “right time” to become a mom, wondering if I was truly ready, and feeling like I wasn’t where I wanted to be in life when motherhood found me.

I’ll also walk you through my birth experiences with both of my babies—the moments that changed me forever. This episode is for any woman who’s felt unsure, unprepared, or just overwhelmed by the idea of motherhood. You’re not alone—and I see you.
