Today we discuss these different styles and see if we even fit in into any of them.

It seems like the guilt about not being able to breastfeed your baby is a constant theme among new mothers. The pressure to do what your body is “suppose” to do and the emotions involved when, for whatever reason you can't, are heavy and complex. How and where do we begin to normalize all feeding when it comes to nourishing our babies? Today we talk to a super momma who took matters into her own hands, Laura Modi, co-founder and CEO of Bobbie formula, because she believes our babies deserve the very best we could provide.

Blame it on the hormones or the challenges of motherhood, but for whatever reason when you have your own children, you often find yourself deep-diving into an emotional analysis about your own upbringing. Today we travel back in time to remember and honor our own adolescent years, the relationships that shaped us and to answer the daunting question.. have we actually become our mothers? This episode today is in partnership with the upcoming premiere of Turning Red, which comes out on March 11th on Disney+!

The well known African proverb, “it takes a village to raise a child,” should ring more true to parents and families today than ever before. The impact of the pandemic and how we all were forced to adapt has really highlighted the challenges of raising a child alone and how important it is to ask for help. Today we talk about the importance of family, community and how we could all get back to this village mentality.

You've heard the term before - mom brain! It's real, it's annoying and at times it seams like it's never going away. The idea that after motherhood we tend to become forgetful, distracted or even oblivious could be frustrating. But guess what... mom brain may not go away and this, my friends, could also be a good thing. Let's talk about it!

Valentine's Day is around the corner and as our Motherish tradition goes, we wanted to celebrate our little ones and the deep connection and love we have for them. Having said that...we are now raising... toddlers! (eek!) And with that, comes a whole different set of emotions and challenges. Today we open up what it's been like entering the toddler years and how we are reminded that a mother's love is like no other.

Today we open up our mics to a pro...Miami radio personality, Kirsten Marie, better known as La Gringa Más Latina. Today we’ll learn more about her story and her journey through motherhood in a very diverse cultural home...all while balancing a very demanding job. Sit back and enjoy these confessions of a gringa working mom in a very Latin world.

Tantrums, Toddlers and Tired. These three words go together sooo much when you’re the parent of kids under 5. Today we’re chatting with Parenting Coach and Founder of Transforming Toddlerhood, Devon Kuntzman, who’s going to show us the truth about toddlerhood and how it isn’t as terrible as you think!

Picture this... your kid is about to have a meltdown, and then you pull out this trick from your back pocket that magically brings them back from tantrum city. And then you look at yourself in the mirror and are like, damn I'm killing it. Wouldn't it be great to feel like that all the time?!? Today we'll be sharing some mom hacks that we've learned in our time as moms that help us manage the day to day madness of toddler parenting!

A New Year means new beginnings, new goals...blah blah blah. We've all seen the memes and the motivational posts but a new year doesn't mean we should forget and ignore what was pending in 2021, and all the lessons we learned that year. Today we look forward to an incredible 2022 - armed with everything 2021 left us! This week Pamela & Karen reflect on the best of 2021, and what we're looking forward to in the new year.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year...the holidays are around the corner and of course that also means more joy - and also a little more stress for mommies and mommies-to-be. What can we do so we can focus on the magic of the season? What could we do to help those mommies struggling? Today Dr. Jennifer Schell joins Pamela & Karen to help us prioritize what really matters in this season.

Can you believe it?! .. Motherish Moments, the podcast, turns one! This little baby, our little project that we started not really knowing what we were doing, is celebrating its first year. Our babies have grown and this amazing community has grown with them. We are so grateful and we are excited because the best is yet to come!

We cannot speak about family without mentioning our siblings: that little brother or little sister who have now grown up to be the "funcle" and cool aunt. Some say they are the unsung heroes in our village, and others may argue they add the fun to the chaos. Today Pamela & Karen dig a little deeper and discuss how their relationships with their siblings, Paloma & Miguel, have influenced our thoughts on our current & future babies.

With Thanksgiving around the corner we take a pause among the chaos to recap what we are grateful for. From the smallest & silliest things, to the major blessings we can't take for granted. We hope this exercise of listing what you’re grateful for also puts you in a thankful state of mind.

Today Pamela & Karen chat about "the invisible list." As mothers we continue to not only add more and more things to our daily to-do-list, but we actually also manage an entire other invisible to-do list on the side. YUP! Things that just get done magically. Today we vent and talk about how we could manage to be and, most importantly, manage to feel more productive as we tackle this “invisible list.”

You probably know by now that Karen is all about celebrating EVERYTHING! In this week's episode, Pamela surprised Karen during their recording and did some real-time celebration for Karen's Birthday as they took a trip down memory lane talking about Karen's childhood.

Some see it as an extreme measure, others see it as a luxury, many don't even know much about it - today we're talking about oocyte cryopreservation, fancy word for egg freezing. Why aren't more women familiarized with this option? And what is it exactly? We all know our biological clocks are ticking so why aren't we doing more to preserve our dreams of being mothers? Today Pamela shares her journey of freezing her eggs as we chat with fertility expert Dr. Hernández-Rey.

For us “La familia” is what keeps us grounded and the center of our universe - both culturally and emotionally.

Today we discuss all the good and bad that comes with those changes and celebrate the importance of family!

Some say “if you could make a baby, you can birth a baby”... but why do many of us fear the process of delivering a baby or get so nervous thinking about caring for your newborn.

Many of us have been working remotely from our homes during this pandemic. This has brought its challenges, but also the benefit of being at home with our babies.

Follows and likes come with an abundance of pressure for moms in the public eye, today we have the confessions of an influencer mama.

Today we dare to enter the guilt free zone and vent about some of the things we do, that perhaps come off as annoying but whatever -“yup, I’m that mom”

Let’s talk about the postpartum experience - it’s been glorified to seem like you’re supposed to feel like you’re floating on cloud 9, but in reality, after the adrenaline settles, it’s often lonely, dark and confusing- and on top of that, you might even feel guilty for feeling this way. Today we’ll talk to Dr. Jennifer Schell, who will guide us through this experience and how to care for ourselves in the midst of it all.

Having children changes you and in return also transforms your friendships. Before becoming mothers, we tend to not be aware of what your friends who already have children go through in order to balance all the relationships in their lives. Today we dedicate our episode to all those mommy friends who were, are, and continue to be there for us- and we finally apologize if we were ever that insensitive friend in the past!

Exactly one year ago, many of us went into quarantine and started working home after many states across the US mandated shelter-in-place orders. Here we are 12 months later and many of us still have our children home with us, many doing virtual learning and with little or no exposure to other children. Today we speak with Dr. Christie Ferrari, Child Psychologist, on the psychological impact of isolation and quarantine on our children.

Careers and carriages- two things that keep us busy but also very motivated. Before we became moms, we were both very focused and driven by our careers, only to learn that our most important assignment was on its way. Today we discuss our careers, the impact motherhood has had on them, and how we constantly work on juggling everything at once.

Our most important work is not only raising our children, but also raising our children to be kind and inclusive members of society.

Today Zoila Darton, founder of WORD- a creative agency committed to cultural storytelling, joins us to guide us through this topic through her eyes.

Living with infertility could be lonely and emotionally draining. If a friend, co-worker or relative confides in you and tells you they’re struggling to conceive it usually means they trust you and believe you will be supportive. However, figuring out how to actually give empathetic and effective support could be challenging, especially if you've never experienced infertility yourself. Today we talk to Sandy Bodeau, a mother of two, TV personality, blogger and author of “The Light After Loss”, about her infertility journey.

Today we open our hearts and mics to share with you our very intimate love letters to our babies.

Karen opens her heart in this letter to Victoria.

It is one of the most important things we should do, yet very few of us find the time to do it. We are talking all things self-care, from why we must do it and how to actually do it. Known as “The Queen of Chill”, entrepreneur and new mommy, Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton joins us to tell us how she manages self-care and juggles the business owner life now as a mom.

Being pregnant means being responsible for the little life that is growing inside you. The list of the “dos” and “don’ts” while you’re pregnant could be long, overwhelming and sometimes scary, but don’t let this overshadow all the joy this journey brings. Today we talk about the famous “Pregnancy Do’s and Dont’s” with OB/GYN Dr. Ernesto Cardenas and also share what “bump rules” surprised us during our pregnancies.

Milestones, milestones, milestones... a term you probably didn’t hear or even think about until you become a parent. It’s normal as parents to get excited about our baby’s developmental milestones, but it’s also very easy to get overwhelmed with anxiety about them. In today’s episode we talk to Jessica Rolph, Co-founder & CEO of Lovevery about what we could and should be doing as parents to help our children achieve these goals while also enjoying the journey.

In order to be the best mothers we can be for our children, we need to constantly evolve.  When emotions are running high and clarity is running low, it’s very hard to be objective about our own triumphs and struggles as mothers.  Karen and Pamela interview two of their closest family members to get a clear and brutally honest perspective as to how motherhood has changed them, where they have thrived and where they needed some help.

In this episode we share the lessons learned from our hardest experiences, and talk about the resilience of a Mother - which is a power like no other.

Jenny Best, the founder of Solid Starts, joins Pamela and Karen in an insightful conversation around starting solids with your baby and teaching us about the path of Baby Led Weaning.

Picture this - you’re having a great week, doing huge things at work or feeling so productive working on a personal project, and then boom - it hits you like a train, out of nowhere. MOM GUILT. We fight it, we ignore it, we rationalize, but let’s face it, we all live with it. Today we’ll talk about how we manage this and give you the pep talk that you probably need today.
