Motherhood Burnout and Solutions, Episode 67 Sep 15, 2020

Show notes

Sometimes we love motherhood and sometimes it gets the very best of us. While we're ever-grateful, we're also human and reflecting on the thankless moments, those crazy sleepless nights, our need to ask for help, and the very scary journey of letting our kids grow up and grow apart from us. We chat to the point of crying and even get an odd moment of quiet thanks to the universe getting one of us mommas to slow the heck down. Tune in if you're a mom, support a momma in your life, or look forward to becoming one someday soon.

Latinos in Competition with Each Other, Episode 65 Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

At a time when our country feels so divided, we dive in to talk about how Latinos are often in competition with each other and why. We wanted to take a look at what cultural competitiveness meant to us and possibly you too! Is it comparing, judging, or distancing ourselves from the many beautiful Latino experiences across the globe? Is it something we do unconsciously or are we well aware? In this episode, we openly share tales from our upbringings and the very beliefs that may have actually divided us so that we may instead unify Latinas no matter our countries of origin, closed-minded influences, or what the media tells us about our culture's beauty standards, communities, and traditions.

The Random Episode, Episode 64 Aug 26, 2020

Show notes

Our monthly random episode is here! In it, we "chat" with a very special guest who actually got a little too close to Vero, but we're not jealous. This one is so random as we talk weird twitches and even spend one too many minutes talking about farts. Tune in to hear all about how we are tackling a new normal of back-to-school in the time of COVID, religious commitments during a pandemic, husbands that actually cook, our genius, our values, and more.

Toxic Family Members and What If That's You?, Episode 63. Aug 19, 2020

Show notes

We get super personal on this episode sharing moments in our lives where toxic family dynamics have shaken us. At times, we were the toxic ones... toxic family members and even toxic friends. Join us as we majorly open up about the very ways we've coped, share how upbringings make an impact, and comment on how we've handled forgiveness in the midst of toxicity. We look forward to hearing from our listeners on this extremely juicy topic. Don't miss it.

The women of LUL are raising 8 children between 4 months & 14 years old (4 daughters & 4 sons). With all that, there's bound to be a lot of advice, trial & error, and lessons to share from their parenting journeys. In this part two of the "momager series," we chat all things creative parenting, creative consequences, and even the difference between growing up first-gen and how that's influenced our parenting decisions today. You won't hear from three experts, but rather three women doing their very best as moms. Tune in today whether you're a momma yourself, the cool tia, an aspiring momma, or anything in between.
