Vida With Christie

It's been a while, but I wanted to end the year with one final episode. I wanted to reflect on 2018 and wrap up our first season. This podcast, and Vida With Christie, will be celebrating our first year anniversary tomorrow! I reflect on the dumpster fire that was 2018, why I put the podcast on hold for a few months, and how I overcame all the obstacles that presented themselves throughout the year.

Si quieres escuchar este capitulo en Español, comienza de los 26:00 minutos. Gracias!

You have a million things to do, but so little time. On top of that, you feel exhausted and run down. What can you do? Practice the tips I share in this episode, and approach, to prioritize your life. Learn what needs to be on top of your list, what you may need to remove, and what you may just have to leave for later. I promise this will leave you feeling much better about life in general!

In #MamáLife, I speak about prioritizing yourself as a parent. Sometimes we want to give our kids the whole world, but how can we do that when we are not feeling our best? It's time to put life into perspective and put ourselves first.

The situation at the Mexico-USA border is out of control. Children have been separated from their families, and more than 2,000 have yet to be reunited. It does not matter what the immigration status of a person is, no one should be treated this way. On this episode, I discuss my stance on the immigration crisis in the USA, and share my experience attending the Families Belong Together Rally in Toronto.

On #MamáLife, ZoZo joins in to demonstrate how we speak about social justice issues, such as families being separated at the border. She also demonstrates once of the chants she learned at the Families Belong Together Rally - Toronto.

Trigger Warning: There is mention of mental health issue and suicide which can be triggering to some listeners. I would love for you to listen, but I understand if you need to skip this episode for your own well-being.

We have lost two brilliant people this week, in the public eye, as a result of struggles with mental health; Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain. As a result, I was inspired to speak about mental health in episode 16 and go over ways we can care for ourselves and support loved ones struggling with mental health related circumstances.

On #MamáLife, I speak of how we can speak to our children about mental health, and in particular suicide. I share how I've spoke to my daughter about these topics in a way that she can understand and be aware of the sensitivity of these topics.

Since this is episode 16, I also include a segment 100% en Español. Hablo sobre la importancia de reconocer enfermedades mentales,la importancia de remover el estigma en particular en la comunidad Hispana y las razones porque debemos hablar sobre el suicidio con mas cuidado. El segmento en Español comienza desde 43:30.

Being a parent is hard work, and it's great to have a team by your side to support you every step of the way. However, what happens when that "support" is doing you more harm than good? On this episode, I discuss issues I've encountered with mommy bloggers/vloggers, mommy influencers and online mommy groups that may not be the best fit for you in regards to your overall well-being, as an individual and parent.

On #MamáLife, I discuss the importance of taking a confident approach to your physical insecurities. Of course. it is easier said than done; which is why I share some tricks and tips that help me see myself in the best light.

This is a fully loaded episode where I truly discuss a little bit of everything. From human rights, to the politics of FIFA, to Puerto Rico, and Childish Gambino's latest single, and in my opinion, work of art, 'This Is America'. Also, I'm back to making videos and sharing them, on YouTube, so make sure to search 'Vida With Christie' and subscribe!

On #MamáLife, I catch you up on the next major stage of my daughter's life and how I am dealing with the changes. She's heading to JK, so I discussed how I made the decision of what school she would go to and how I realized she was in fact ready for "big girl school".

We hear the phrase "the're cancelled" all the damn time. But what does it really mean? Is cancelling someone or something enough? We examine this concept through an example of a problematic song that was recently released. I dish out my honest opinions about what I now think of these artists and how BS the "apology" was that they released.

On #MamáLife I speak of the sacrifices that we make as parents, big or small. I use my silly sacrifice as an example and compare it to the outstanding sacrifice that parents taking part in the #RefugeeCaravan are making. No matter what sacrifices we make, they are all for the well-being of our children.

I am VERY happy to announce that this episode features a segment 100% in Spanish! Para los que prefieren escuchar en Español, pueden avanzar a 32:33.

In this episode I share a little about me and what this podcast truly represents. Why am I talking into a mic? What is the purpose of this podcast? Through this I reflect about the wins and losses on life, and the importance of living your best life no matter what hurdles stand in your way.

On #MamáLife, I speak about how I made the decision that motherhood was in fact for me, and how I feel about the pressures that we as women experience to become moms and have children.
