Bricia and Paulina are joined by friend and traveling-with-kids extraordinaire Rebecca Bernard to talk all things family vacation. Hear all about how to undertake your next trip without pulling your hair out the whole time. Plus we do a recap of our Muertos experiences which you don’t want to miss!

If you’ve listened to this show for a while, our next guest needs no introduction. Our friend and Paulina’s business/life coach, Victor Pierantoni, is back on the podcast! We share a normal amount of jokes and niceties, but this one gets deep. Like wayyyyy deep.

¡Es el Día de Muertos! Here to celebrate with us, Mamá Lopez is joining Paulina as cohost. She is sharing the Oaxacan perspective on the holiday as well as our family’s traditions.

Let’s preface this with the fact that we LOVE our kids. Being mamás is one of the best, most rewarding, most incredible experiences. But also, kids are awful. Today on the pod, Bricia and Paulina catch up after what has been one of the most hectic months of the year. Forgive us in advance for the loud baby in the background. If you’re a mamá, you get it.

The healthcare system in America is confusing. Because the healthcare industry can be nearly impossible to navigate, it’s causing people to not seek care. That is a huge problem. Zócalo Health is working to fix it. Built by Latinos for Latinos, Zócalo is the only healthcare experience built with Latino culture in mind. Today on the pod, we sit down with Mariza Hardin, the COO and Co-Founder of Zócalo Health, about how Zócalo is changing the experience of healthcare and creating resounding positive impacts in our comunidad. All Super Mamás podcast listeners can try out Zócalo Health for free for one month by entering promo code: mama at check out.

Parenthood is something we are obviously very passionate about here at Super Mamás. We could go on and on about the joys of parenthood, but one of the things that all mamás know is that raising kids can be a bit of a damper on your love life with your spouse. Today we are talking with Rebecca Alvarez-Story, sexologist and founder of Bloomi, about sex, intimacy and intentionality. Rebecca started Bloomi because she believed that intimacy wellness is incredibly important and that it needs to be accessible. Her Latina-owned brand is not only available through her website, but at massive national retailers like Target! Trust us, you don’t want to miss this powerful conversation about intimacy wellness.

If you were like the thousands of people  who got into Peloton during the pandemic, we think you are going to fan out  (just like we did ) over this episode.

We’re on our journey to building healthy habits! In partnership with @SaboreaUnoHoy, this week we interview Malena Perdomo, a registered dietitian and Avocado Goodness Expert for Aguacates Frescos - Saborea Uno Hoy®.

Julissa chats with us about her most recent book “You Sound Like a White Girl: The Case for Rejecting Assimilation”.

Are we good moms or bad moms for the choice we make? This week’s guests are Erica and Milah, co-hosts of Good Moms, Bad Choices podcast, and they let us know that we’re not alone in feeling this way. They’re sharing the good choices they made that helped create their friendship and their podcast, and the “bad” choices that come with parenting, like mom guilt, being a single parent and actively choosing not to have more kids. These two mamas are honest and transparent about their parenting journey, and it’s the refreshing outlook we needed to remember that we are always good moms, no matter the choices we make.

There’s no way to sugar coat this week’s episode; this week we are talking about vaginas and down-there-care with Kimba Williams, CEO and cofounder of Kushae. After becoming a mom, she realized things were acting up *down there* and in wanting to detoxify all the products she was buying for her own growing family, she knew she needed natural products to care for herself too. She tells us about her products, bad & good bacteria, and why choosing the right people to help grow your team can really make a difference in the long run. Kimba’s bubbly personality makes this topic easier to talk about, and she shares so much great information that we need to be sharing with all the women closest to us!

Death is not an easy topic to talk about... for some people, at least. This week our guest is attorney Carmen Rosas, and we’re talking about something she's very comfortable discussing: estate planning. We’ll admit, we had a lot of questions for her because we’re in the midst of making our own plans! We learned how to choose the best plans for our families when we’re gone, what to do when it comes to our assets and most importantly, how to make plans for our children in case something unexpected happens. Everyone has different priorities and requests when it comes to their last days, and Carmen’s mission is to help us feel confident in making the best decisions for ourselves - and she definitely accomplishes that with us.

There’s so much information out there when it comes to our children’s health. Throw COVID-19 vaccinations for infants and toddlers into the mix, and it just got a lot more overwhelming. But we’re here to help! This week we sit down with an expert: the Deputy Director of the Center for Infectious Diseases and State Epidemiologist, Dr. Erica Pan. We talk about everything you need to know about COVID-19 vaccinations for infants, toddlers and pregnancy. She answers the questions we’ve all been wondering, like how the vaccine trials for children work, vaccine dosages for our littlest ones, and even getting vaccinated during pregnancy. Dr. Pan is a mom to two teenage daughters, so she understands how some parents may be feeling uneasy with so much new information. We hope this episode helps ease your mind and get your family vaccinated!
