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.

The time has come… for the dreaded puberty talk! Our guest Dr. Marni Sommer, professor at Columbia University and co-author of “A Girl's Guide to Puberty and Periods” sits down to share how parents shouldn’t be embarrassed to talk to their kids about growing up. She explains the secret to talking to your daughters about their bodily changes is by being a source of safe, factual information. Dr. Marni also shares tips on handling big feelings, surprise periods and reassurance that these changes are normal. We’re taking all the notes for the changes awaiting us with our daughters!

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.

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? For full notes, visit http://supermamas.com

This week we have a venting Session with the Super Mamás, Paulina got a phone call from school saying one of her daughters got into a fight at school and immediately the Mom Guilt kicked in, Is it my fault? Am I doing something wrong? Am I a bad mom? When our kids do something considered bad, we immediately start blaming ourselves as parents, but is it really our fault? How can we divide our time and attention to all of our kids needs when haven multiple kids, and trying to balance work and life at the same time? Is there really a right answer to this?
