Today we talk about how we tackle these emotions in our everyday lives.

She tells us about her passion that drove her mission to empower mothers everywhere to feed their babies when, and where, they're hungry, however they feel most comfortable.

The older our children get, the more we realize how little they need to be happy. When you're first having a baby, you tend to overdo it when buying gifts and clothes... very quickly you learn that they don't need much. As we are approaching the holiday season, we take time to reflect on what our greatest gifts are and what gifts are the ones our children really need.

These past two years have challenged us in so many ways, and we've gotten used to a different sense of "normal."

Today we chat with Anna Raborn and Debbie Lee, the co-founders of Hopscotch labs, a family focused co-working space, and discuss what the ideal working space would look like for the modern post-pandemic mother.

Anxiety has a way of paralyzing us. As mothers, we worry about so many things, ALL THE TIME. How can we control our anxiety? ...and what are some of the signs for us to figure out when things are just too much? Today we talk to Dr. Sandy Zanella, mother of two, and author of "Happy Yogies," on the importance of intentionally, being a Mindful Mommy.

As mothers and heads of our households, we tend to put a lot of pressure on ourselves. It happens to all of us...we create such high expectations that sometimes we push ourselves over the limit. The children, work, self-care, our social lives... we want to succeed in all aspects and when we don't, we end up being really hard on ourselves. We need to be more kind to ourselves and show grace and honor and congratulate the little girl we all have within.

Today we chat with Grace Wong, also known as @speechtherapymom on Instagram, a bilingual speech expert who will give us her take on the best way to raise bilingual babies.

We say it often... the days are long, but the years are so darn short! Before you know it your tiny baby is sitting by themselves or walking around and playing by themselves. Your baby will become a little independent being in the blink of an eye. This episode is for these new mommies who may be feeling overwhelmed. Today we want to remind you that those moments, those struggles, those baby giggles and that newborn scent won't last forever. We wish we had a time machine as we remember the things we miss the most about that delicious baby stage!

Sending your child to daycare or school for the first time comes with a backpack full of mixed emotions! The whole process could be complicated and emotional for both the child and the mother. This new journey for many represents that first form of separation for both since birth. We get the lunch box, the uniform, the labels... and when everything seems to be ready to go, we still get all choked up...but before we know it they're off to school!

In the complex world of motherhood, we often find ourselves in an impossible bind...either you're a complainer because you're overwhelmed with the realities of motherhood, or you're annoying because you seem to have everything under control. Is a balance actually possible? Today we talk to award-winning journalist, fellow podcaster and mother of two, Alicia Menendez who promises to empower us by reminding us how and why we shouldn't fall into this trap of being liked in the workplace, but most importantly outside of it...in our most important roles as mothers.

It's summertime and the kids are home...we have many times when we run out of “fun” things to do. But do not fear! Today we talk to the creator of @MotherCould, Myriam Sandler, who will help us find creative ways to keep our kids active and stimulated while at home.

Mothers tend to always worry about everyone else before themselves. We are our children's and families' caregivers and cheerleaders...but who motivates the motivator? How do we keep going emotionally? Today we speak to motivational speaker and fellow first-time mommy, Regina Carrot, who shares her personal journey about how she found inspiration in the midst of loss.

We’ve all heard the term “Mom Goals” all over social media...this usually refers to a mom who’s just killing it at motherhood, at being a wife or in general killing it in life, as if it were a game. A woman who just seems to have it all together. But… what exactly are those Mom Goals that we aspire to reach? And, are we setting realistic goals for ourselves? Today, we open up about what we admire in other moms and what we hope to accomplish this year.

A happy and healthy mommy is the most important thing we can offer to our children. But how do we actually start a “healthy journey” when we have so much on our plate? This can sound overwhelming, unattainable, and sometimes even…unappealing. In this episode, Mary Gamarra joins us to talk about how she is committed to healing through nutrition and mindfulness, and how we can start regardless of what moment we’re in of our lives.

Does it get harder to find the time to take care of yourself as your kids get older? We all know that we must fill our own cups to have enough for others… but are we finding more excuses to be running on empty? Pamela and Karen reflect on how self-care has evolved as Ford and Victoria get older, and share how they find time to love and care for themselves while also juggling the rest.

If there's one thing motherhood teaches you, it's that plans are never guaranteed! You envision something going one way and next thing you know...you're encountering something completely different.

Today we chat with Kate Gawlik, Associate Professor of Clinical Nursing at The Ohio State University and co-author of a recent study on Burnout with Pandemic Parenting, as she tells us how to spot the signs and get help.

Being a working mom is part of our identity. We do it and sometimes, we don't even think about what it entails, how we do it, or even how we can be better at it. We just go, go, go! That's why on today's episode, we pause and talk with fellow mommy and entrepreneur Ingrid Zapata Read, who as the founder of the largest community in online resource for expectant, new and veteran moms (@WorkingMomKind), helps us to remember ourselves, and realize just how important it is to find the right support to achieve our dreams and champion for our families.

Doing a theme park with a toddler or baby is a whole new world, indeed. As survivors of this experience, we share all the hacks, dos and don'ts to help you really feel like you're visiting the happiest place on earth.

Motherhood is definitely a full time job, but there is a huge difference between choosing to only focus on that and feeling like you're stuck focusing only on that. Moms need to take risks, try new things, make changes if necessary, and take on passion projects- whatever it takes to fuel your fire. Today we talk to fellow mommy and founder of the “But First She Failed” podcast, Paola Soares about how she's helping women redefine the idea of failure to chase bold dreams.

Happy early Mother’s Day mommas!!! Today not only do we celebrate each other but we talk about our incredible resilience. We want to focus on those little moments, the moments that go unnoticed, those in the dark or alone as you're holding your child thinking “I got this”. Here at Motherish moments we want to remind you that Mother's Day is everyday.

What? Who? How? Why?...There are so many questions when it comes to being a “cool mom.”We know all moms are amazing, but certain things can make you extra trendy. Who falls into this category? And why would someone care? In a very humbling and fun way we do a self analysis and dig deep into this whole concept...are we actually cool moms?

You would think this pandemic has taught us to adapt to change, to be more flexible…you know, to not get so fixated with our plans. Yet still, for many mothers, going with the flow or just accepting change, could be a great challenge. Today we open up, maybe breakdown a little, and vent about why it’s so hard when things don't go as planned, and why sometimes we have to just... let…it…go!

As parents one of our main concerns is to help our children succeed in all they do. Sometimes when our children struggle, we have a hard time accepting the issue or knowing where to find the right type of help. Why is it so hard for some of us to say…SOS, we need help, helping our children!

Today we talk to Dr. Dawn Mays, school psychologist, and get her advice on how we could identify an issue and then tackle it the best way possible.

Here at Motherish Moments we are focused on creating happy and healthy memories for our babies. That is, without a doubt, our most important mission. There is this theory that you don’t remember your early years, specifically before the age of four, but we want our children in the future to always enjoy their trip down memory lane, because, come on...early years do matter.

A lot of us for a long time dreamt of becoming mothers. We dreamt would become this amazing career woman, marry our soulmate and then, we would become this glowing mother- it all fit the narrative. But we all know now, that what we envisioned and what actually happens sometimes is slightly different and we are not mad at it. Today we are joined by on-air radio personality and new mommy, Evelyn Sicairos, for an open conversation about how we struggle to adapt and accept our new mommy identity.

Often as Mothers we feel judged and pressured into making ourselves fit into a certain mold of what a "picture perfect" mother looks like. Reality is that motherhood looks different for every woman, and our journey to get there is also very unique. Today we chat with Reby Hardy, who says she's not your typical mom and she's proud of it.

Here at Motherish we have always celebrated different approaches to parenting your child. We know there is no “perfect” way to feed, sleep train, or discipline your child, but did you know there are actually different parenting styles, like actual titles and categories. 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.

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.

There's nothing more beautiful, than being inspired by your children. For Miami mom, Marcia Arocha, her first born's son's imagination, became the driving force behind a series of children's songs and books: "Ota el hipopótamo". Today we'll be inspired by how we can turn these dreamy worlds and their imagination into concrete dreams and businesses.

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.
