Our TOPPODCAST Picks 
Stay ConnectedSomos Padres is a parenting podcast where husband and wife duo, Paulo and Yesenia, talk about and share information about parenting AND also embrace parenting as the vehicle thru which we can recognize the places where we need to do some work on ourselves. Yesenia would call it healing, Paulo would call it evolve and others would call it something else, but it doesn’t matter what anyone calls it. It is the recognition that our children are our mirrors that reflect back to us the places where we need to grow as human beings, and talking about parenting thru this lens is what Paulo and Yesenia are passionate about. Podcasts drop as often as this mom and dad are able to release.

We are excited to welcome Áma to this episode of Somos Padres. She is a single mother of two beautiful girls in Los Angeles and when she is not working full-time or spending time with her girls, you can find her at Agape International Spiritual Center as a spiritual practitioner or collaborating with spiritual counselor, Suzi Lula. As you will hear, Áma’s journey is one of constant evolution and incredible resilience. She has been a spiritual seeker her entire life but as you will hear, even with all of her spiritual knowing, she felt lost when it came time to deal with all of the emotions that her daughters brought up for her. This is a great episode for those of us that are working to connect our spiritual evolution with our parenting evolution.

Paulo and Yesenia are back after a short unplanned break. Yesenia reveals what this break was all about.

Yesenia also shares about her experience at the most recent Evolve Conference hosted by the Conscious Parenting thought leader, Dr. Shefali Tsabary.

Last weeks courageous testimony by Dr. Ford has inspired Yesenia to make a contribution that is deserving of the moment and that she has been waiting to make. Have you ever wondered if the way we parent can play a part in whether or not your child(ren) would disclose their abuse to you? Yesenia is here to offer her perspective on this question based on her own experience as someone who has experienced sexual abuse as a child and wondered why she never told anyone until she became an adult. Her answer may help you see parenting from yet another perspective.
We have been asked a couple times how Paulo became such a reflective and communicative partner. Well, in today’s episode Paulo and Yesenia try to figure this out. The reflective person that he is today is very different from the Paulo that Yesenia married. Paulo shares the belief systems that shaped his attitudes at the beginning of their life together like his stubborn need to be right, to be in control, and maintain the power in their household. Yesenia reflects on how these moments took a toll on her that they are still unpacking and healing together today. Paulo answers the questions: What would you say to your younger self? What would you say to any husband/partner that doesn’t want to change? What would you say to a wife/partner that wants her husband/partner to change? His answers may surprise you.

Summer break is now over and the hosts, Paulo and Yesenia, are now both on the show to talk about the summer. They do not hold back and kick it off with a disagreement that they had while recording the podcast episode that ultimately led them to re-record the episode and hash it out. Once that was resolved, Paulo interviews Yesenia about the Somos Padres Summer Series and about her recent 10-day Vipassana silent meditation retreat experience in Joshua Tree California. You do not want to miss this episode.

Welcome to our 6th and final episode of our Somos Padres Summer Series. In this episode Yesenia takes on the concept of what parenting is all about, parenting is not about our kids.

Walking the line on this concept has been very challenging but the personal goals achieved thus far have been so worth it. Listen in as Yesenia reflects on this concept brought to us by Dr. Shefali Tsabary. Don't forget to use #somospadresseries to provide any input or suggestions.

In this episode Paulo and Yesenia sit down with Barbara Andrade Dubransky to talk about the Enneagram, a personality construct which includes nine personality types. Barbara has been learning about the Enneagram for almost 18 years after being recruited by a co-worker to take the Enneagram test as part of a research study. Barbara provides a general understanding of the Enneagram, its origins and briefly goes over the nine Enneagram types. Barbara also shares some of the deeper work that she has done on herself as a result of learning about the Enneagram and how she uses the knowledge in her every day relationships.
Paulo and Yesenia also recently took the Enneagram test and Barbara talks to them about their Enneagram type and what they should keep in mind based on their types. If you are looking for a way of understanding yourself and the people in your life a little better, then this introduction to the Enneagram may be helpful!

In this episode Paulo and Yesenia sat down with the creative powerhouse behind 
In this episode Paulo and Yesenia talk about Conscious Parenting; a parenting and life philosophy that is at the core of how they approach their own parenting. They talk about their parenting philosophy before Conscious Parenting, when they first heard about it and how they have continued to immerse themselves in the practice, most recently by attending the Evolve Conference in Long Beach, CA. There is no easy definition or way of explaining Conscious Parenting. It is an individual experience and it is with this humility that Paulo and Yesenia are sharing their own understanding and experiences on this Conscious Parenting journey.
In this episode Paulo and Yesenia take on Empathy. They both strongly believe that empathy has the potential to revolutionize your relationship with your children and change the world. They give you examples of how they have used empathy to help their children move through challenging moments and how it is enriching their own relationship. They also emphasize that empathy is learned (they only started learning about it in their early thirties) so if you have never heard about it or don’t know much about it, this episode is perfect for you!
In this episode Paulo and Yesenia give you a quick update on their lives and their recent parenting issues. They also share the interview they did of Paulo’s parents during their recent trip to Mexico. Paulo’s parents, Juan e Irene Menchaca, explore their own upbringing, el machismo, and what they would do differently. Paulo listens to his parents reflect on their own parenting experience and hears a few things that he wasn’t expecting. FYI, the interview is in Spanish.
