The Mamilennials Podcast

It’s Scorpio season, mamis! And we’re celebrating Jocelyn’s birthday!!!!In this birthday reflection episode, we’re looking back at how our 20-something selves envisioned our lives versus the reality of motherhood and adulthood today. From hilarious postpartum restaurant stories to the honest, complicated feelings around family size and protecting our peace, we’re covering it all with zero filter. In this episode, we get into birthday traditions, then vs. now (what we thought our 30s would be like 10 years ago), what we’re choosing to prioritize in this season of life, and setting some intentions for Jocelyn’s next trip around the sun. Spoiler alert - one of her wishes is to take the leap and join TheraMami in January!Have you been thinking about joining our Latina millennial mom virtual support group?

We may be a few days behind Halloween, but we’re still in full spooky mode over here in the Mamilennials hub. With Halloween and Dia de los Muertos on full blast, we couldn't help but reflect on some heavy feelings. In this episode, we talk about the conversations none of us feel ready for: how to explain death to our kids, and what it actually feels like to grieve while you still have to show up every single day as a mom. We talk about how hard it is to carry heartbreak when you’re just trying to get through bedtime, and what moving forward after losing someone you love really looks like for us. This episode is a mix of lighthearted, honest, and an emotional one.If this episode resonated with you, please rate, follow, and leave a comment.

Mamis, how do you really feel about getting older? In this episode, we’re unpacking the complex reality of aging, self-image, and the next season of life—and why our two perspectives couldn't be more different. While one of us is feeling the quiet anxiety and hesitation around growing older, the other is leaning fully into the excitement and confidence of the years ahead.We dive into the distinct tension between aging as an individual with your own evolving identity versus aging through the lens of motherhood, where your reflection, body, and energy often feel consumed by everyone else’s needs. Plus, we confront the subtle trap of mom guilt: the exhaustion of managing how other people perceive us, the constant pressure to keep up appearances, and the deliberate work required to shed outside expectations so we can define this stage on our own terms.If this episode resonated with you, please rate, follow, and share your thoughts!💖

What does it take to truly unlearn the toxic wellness and diet narratives we grew up with? In this episode, we sit down with registered dietitian, mamilennial, and author of The Latina Anti-Diet, Dalina Soto, MA, RD, LDN, to dismantle the whitewashing and restriction built into conventional nutrition advice. On the episode we unpack the millennial experience with diet culture, the unconscious ways they creep into our family choices now, and how to let that conditioning go. Dalina shares the journey behind writing her book and offers a grounded, compassionate roadmap for motherhood: breaking generational cycles in our own kitchens so together with our kids, we can embrace food freedom, lessen mealtime shame, and remember that there is deep nourishment already present in our cultural dishes. Whether you’re on your own healing journey with food or trying to find your way in raising intuitive, confident eaters, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air.You can find Dalina Soto on IG @your.latina.nutritionist and buy her book HERE!If this episode resonated with you, please rate, follow, and share your thoughts!

This week we're ecstatic to welcome The Millennial TheraMom and latina therapist, Johanna Lee! Asking for professional support isn’t always simple, especially in communities where self-sacrifice is normalized and mental health is often surrounded by silence or guilt. We dive deep into why so many Latina moms struggle to reach out for therapy, how generational conditioning impacts our well-being, and what realistic "baby steps" look like if you're feeling overwhelmed but not quite ready to commit to traditional therapy.On this episode we also share a big announcement, which you can check out at mamilennials.com/theramami!

Between costume planning and pumpkin patch play dates, spooky season is officially here. (And don't forget to grab your pan de muerto from our girl, Natalie at Del Corazón Pastries!) But for a lot of moms, the scariest things aren't haunted houses or Halloween prep—they’re the quiet, terrifying intrusive thoughts that happen inside our own minds.In this episode, we open up about the heavy side of motherhood we usually keep to ourselves: catastrophic "what ifs," maternal anxiety, and the paralyzing fear of what would happen to our daughters if something happened to us. We talk about why sharing these unspoken thoughts is the entire heartbeat behind why we created Mamilennials—because no mom should ever have to carry that weight alone.Plus, we’re dropping a special teaser! Next week, we’re bringing on an incredible Latina therapist, Johanna @themillennialtheramom and working on something special behind the scenes that you won’t want to miss.If this episode resonated with you, please rate, follow, and leave a comment.

Sending your little one to school at age two is supposed to feel like an exciting milestone, but what we didn't expect was for it to trigger an internal spiral. In this honest conversation, we discuss the emotional rollercoaster of preparing children for school, the confronting "mirror moments" that bring up old childhood anxieties, the conscious decisions to prevent projecting them, and the invisible weight mothers carry when letting go for the very first time. However, there is so much power in being Latina, and here we lean into our cultural strength while giving ourselves permission to be vulnerable, anxious, and deeply human.

We dive into the weight of navigating this transition as a first-generation mother, from carrying the generational pressure to get everything right, untangling our self-worth from perfectionism, and mourning the rapid passage of time while being excited to feel connected with ourselves again.  Whether you are staring at a packed-away crib wondering where the years went, or feeling scared of the identity rebuilding, don't worry mami - we got you and we're in this together 💖--Enjoying The Mamilennials Podcast?
