All four of us are mothers, so we know that motherhood is as challenging as it is rewarding! Based on our experiences, in today’s episode, we are going to be sharing our top pieces of advice for all the other moms out there. We discuss the approaches that we have taken to discipline, teaching our children about budgeting, instilling a sense of responsibility in them, and more! We also dive into our experiences of “mom guilt” and how we have learned to navigate these feelings. It’s important to remember that every mom and every child is different and although it is very helpful to learn from others’ experiences, at the end of the day, you need to trust yourself to make the decisions for your family unit. This episode also serves as a reminder that nobody is perfect so don’t aim for perfection as a parent, just aim to be the best mom that you can be! Key Points From This Episode: The importance of addressing bad behavior. Why your children need to know that you are not their friend, you are their mother. The benefits of tough love. Examples of how to teach your children the value of money and hard work. Ways to instill a sense of responsibility in your children. There isn’t one right way of doing things, every parent and every child is unique so you need to figure out what works for both of you. The value in being open to adjusting your parenting strategies depending on the context or the child. Differentiating between needs versus wants (and between what we want and what our children want). Why you should never aim for perfection as a parent. Examples of what “mom guilt” can look like, and advice for how to navigate these feelings. The importance of paying attention to what your children are doing and saying.

29:22

Women seem to face a near-constant stream of scrutiny, whether it’s about the way we dress, the lifestyle choices we make, how we parent our children, or how we forge ahead in the corporate world. Even if you aren’t aware of it, nearly everyone is guilty at some point of tearing a woman down and, oftentimes, it’s other women who are the biggest critics, not necessarily men. Fortunately, figuring out how to stop making negative comments about women in your everyday life can be as simple as getting real with yourself about your behavior and examining how these microaggressions might be reflections of your own fears or insecurities. Tune in today to learn more! Key Points From This Episode: Expectations of career women, who are seen as ‘full of themselves’, not confident. Why women should empower each other, not tear one another down. Microaggressions and bullying, which are likely rooted in resentment or insecurity. The importance of surrounding yourself with strong woman mentors and role models. Examining your motivations for making a negative comment about another woman. Conflating freedom of speech with feeling entitled to vilify others. Understanding that different people have different styles of communicating. The progress we have seen in society; but there’s still a lot that needs to change! Why women need to shift the conversation about other women, starting at home. Why living unapologetically doesn’t mean you never have to apologize.

We live in a world of many conflicting beliefs and opinions, and unfortunately there is a trend toward giving the loudest voices in the room precedence over the rest. In today's conversation between the Four Amigas, we unpack some of the issues we have with intolerance in today's society. We see these problems arising in all areas of modern life, whether we are in the workplace, at schools, or attending family gatherings, creating an unsafe and unaccepting atmosphere for many people. With so many hot-button political issues and the prevalence of social media in our lives, it can be hard to escape the judgment of others and the cruel ways that different stances can lead to being discounted. To hear us talk about how this relates to important subjects such as abortion laws and freedom of religion, and how we can begin to have more respect and space for different opinions and belief systems, tune in today! Key Points From This Episode: How the loudest voice in the room dominates the narrative. Intolerance and how it is justified in today's climate. What today's attitudes toward abortion say about the state of society. Other issues that deserve attention right now. The role of education and why facts and skills should take precedence over opinions. Examples of attacks and minimizations of other peoples’ beliefs. The Value of learning about those who are different from us. How acts of kindness should be given more of a platform.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has had global ramifications, driving the cost of fuel and food up significantly. As a result, Business Insider released an article that suggests that Americans budget an extra $5200 this year. Join the Amigas today as they discuss this article and how the price increases have affected their parenting. We dive into the discussion with why Marcy feels that $5200 is not enough, and how each of the Amigas are tightening their belts. As mothers, it's important to the Amigas not to let their kids suffer the same way they did, but how do you get them to appreciate the value of money when they have never been exposed to it? Daimy talks us through how she has changed her attitude towards what she cooks, while GG breaks down the challenges of being a yes mom. The key takeaway from today is to be mindful of your finances, and to parent in such a way that your kids are mindful (but not stressed!) about finances too. For all this, and so much more, press “Play” now. Key Points From This Episode: The article that Marcy came across that suggested Americans budget an extra $5200 this year, and why the Amigas feel this is too little!

Being mindful of how the current situation can be a teachable moment.

It’s common for kids to fly the nest at the age of 18 in the American culture, but this is very different from Latina cultures where kids stay with the family sometimes for decades! Join us today as we discuss the contrasts and similarities between Latina and American familial culture, and what each of the Amigas appreciates from both. We hear why Latina women eat last on special occasions (to make sure the men are out of the way!), and how GG and Daimy have adopted some of the American attitudes towards kids leaving the home. Marcy talks about why the family-first approach in Latina cultures is so wholesome, and GG tells us a funny story of the Latina habit of inviting friends of friends to events. We also learn about “American time”, and why taking kids to events at any time is actually good for them, plus so much more in this engaging episode. Key Points From This Episode: What sparked Marcy’s interest in her friends’ cultures. The real reason the women in Latina cultures let the men eat first on special occasions. How Daimy has adopted the American culture of kids leaving the home at 18, or near to. GG’s change in parenting strategy from her first son, to her youngest two. Why the Amigas feel it’s important for kids to fly the nest before their mid-20s. What Marcy appreciates about the Latina culture: the family first approach. Why GG won’t change her children’s rooms even after they have left home. What American time is, and why it’s so different from what the Amigas know! GG’s experience of friends inviting friends to other peoples’ events, and why it upsets some people. How kids are included in all parties regardless of their age or the party start time, in Latina cultures. Why Marcy loves that everything is a celebration in the Amigas’ cultures.
