Super Mamás

Less than one month until Election Day! This week we talk to Sara Gonzalez, Project Coordinator for the LA City Clerk’s Election Division. We talk about how to vote this November; voting by mail, safety precautions when voting in person, and how to register to vote. She also reminds us if you’re not eligible to vote, you can still make a difference by learning about what’s on the ballot and talking to those who can vote. Your voice matters! Let's make a difference!

Lately we've been talking a lot about the fourth trimester, and this week's guest agrees that moms should prepare for pregnancy and after baby’s arrival too. This week we interview Lorena Garcia, co-founder and CEO of Majka, a brand dedicated to helping support moms thrive postpartum. The three of us share stories about our Mexican moms, but we also talk about how we need to prioritize ourselves & nourish our bodies because we're not just moms; we're still our own people who need to heal.

This week’s interview is with powerhouse Alicia Menendez - news anchor, author, podcast co-host, and mama of two. We talk about how she balances her multitude of successful jobs with raising her daughters, to the meaning behind her book, “The Likeability Trap” and why it’s more complicated for women of color to feel more likeable at work.

Bricia is back from maternity leave! It’s been a while since the two of us kept it real. This week we talk about how we need to communicate our feelings with our spouses during all stages of our relationships - just dating, postpartum, or married for over 50 years. We can’t expect them to do things everything we need; they can’t read our minds! You should never be afraid to ask for help from your loved ones, and our latest vent session will help remind you it’s okay to do just that.

A mother always knows best and when it comes to Bricia’s birth story, she really spoke her newborn daughter's, Augustina, birth into existence. Like most births, things didn’t exactly go as planned but Bricia was prepared with her midwife, lots of research and advocated for herself to make sure she & baby would have the best options possible. We’re also talking about her breastfeeding routine, how she is nourishing her body postpartum, and what a change it has been between her first and second pregnancy.
