Machismo & Gender Roles, Episode 45 Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

Growing up Latinas means we witnessed a lot of machismo in our culture. We're now mothers and wives defining gender roles on our own terms. What's your take on fitting a gender role deeply influenced by culture, generational patterns, and history? In episode 45, we talk about how our upbringing impacts our marriages to Latino men and what it means to live true to ourselves in spite of comparisons, judgments, and upbringing. Join the conversation as we share our journeys filling, and often rebelling, against gender roles in daily life.

Our monthly random episode is here. In it, we discuss all things kinky, novel, and guilt-free when it comes to sex. As women, and specifically Latinas, we often get put into boxes that may fill us with doubt, shame, or insecurity when dealing with sexual exploration. Listen as we share juicy details about our own sexual experiences in the hopes that more women will feel free to liberate themselves as openly as they wish! Be warned... the content in this show is for mature audiences and may offend any not in the mood to talk sex, intimacy, and raunchy adventures along the way!

In this episode, we recount our labor stories (there's 6 of those between us with one new story DUE today... come on baby Gudiel #3). There's nothing quite like giving birth. Women all have unique journeys, and while there's no right way, learning from each other is invaluable. We impart all of our lessons in this one. The details may get messy but this episode is definitely full of warm and fuzzy, motherly love!

Women As Breadwinners, Episode 40 Mar 14, 2020

Show notes

In episode 40 of the #LUL podcast, we talk about the pressures and stigma from the Latino community as women who've stepped up to solely provide for ourselves, and in some cases, our entire families as major breadwinners. Mixed feelings and a whole lot of stereotypes later we work through what it feels like to go against tradition as Latinas and Key Breadwinners!
