Super Mamás

Shining a spotlight on community resources is something we love, and today’s episode features one of our favorite organizations. This week we interview Jessika Ahlberg, program director at My Safe Harbor in Anaheim, California. This organization focuses on empowering mothers and strengthening families through education programs and community get togethers, and the success rate of program graduates is awe-inspiring. These are mothers who want to learn, work hard and support themselves and their families in ways that might not be possible without the resources provided by My Safe Harbor. We are honored to be able to continually support this program year after year!

Good days and bad days are normal and this vent session will remind you that we all go through it. First, Paulina starts with the story of how she lost her toenail. We’ll give you fair warning: if you’re squeamish, you might want to skip to minute 12 of our episode. And that’s not all that happened! Then Bricia talks about her latest cookbook and the stress of creating new recipes on top of work and mom life. Ultimately we’re still learning that even during some of our toughest days, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Tired of gifting the same toys to kids? Our guest this week is super papá, Elian Savodivker, CEO and founder of Nabu.

This week’s guest is comedian, Aida Rodriguez. She’s the first latina with an hour long comedy special on HBOMax and after this interview, we know exactly why she deserves it. From being “unhoused” to shooting her special during a hurricane, Aida talks about why we need to lift up Latinx creators, why we don’t always have to be victims but can be victors and that unless we have a healthy mental headspace, we will not see success. This mama is serious AND funny and we can't wait to have her back!

Surprise! We’re back after a much needed break. No, we weren’t fighting. We needed to let the podcast take a backseat while we focused on ourselves, our families and especially our mental health. We felt we needed to recharge because 2021 was more difficult than 2020 in a sense - we were dealing with the aftermath of the beginning of the decade. But now we’re refreshed and we're catching you up on everything we reflected on during our hiatus. So who’s ready to start the new year with us?
