Season 1 Finale
May 21, 202101:10:11Tap to summarizeWhen we first started this podcast, we knew we were making something special. Something for a niche community: Latina moms, from a certain generation, who also happen to listen to podcasts. Along the way though, we’ve realized that while we are creating a product for a niche community, it can be consumed by everyone because no matter who you are, or where you come from, the truth is that motherhood and the topics related to it, are universal. Plus, you know what else is universal? Laughter and friendship. And if you’ve listened to our podcast at all, you know that these two things are at the core.

Transcribe →Drowning in Kid Stuff
May 14, 202100:35:05Tap to summarizeKids require an enormous amount of equipment. You have all the gear for sleeping, feeding, transporting, dressing, cleaning and entertaining. Because kids grow so fast, once you are in the never-ending loop of kid stuff, you are kind of stuck in it until one day you wake up and it looks like a Toys 'R Us and a Gap Baby exploded in your house. How do you keep the kid's stuff from taking over your house? What items have you found to be the most useful? Which were the least useful? Mamá Cita Podcast is available on all streaming platforms.

Transcribe →Mother Dearest
May 7, 202100:30:38Tap to summarizeMother’s Day is this weekend and we thought that it would be interesting to discuss the complexities of the mother daughter relationship. Then, we actually thought about it and decided that maybe therapy should come first before we let ourselves fall deep into the emotional well, that is our own relationships with our mothers. So… I poured us a cocktail and we decided to watch Bad Moms instead. The perfect mom is an unattainable illusion. The expectations placed on mothers are ridiculous. If we buy into these ideals of what motherhood is supposed to look like, we will never be good enough and always be unhappy. How will you celebrate Mother's Day? How will you practice being kinder and more patient with yourself? Mamá Cita Podcast is available on all streaming platforms. Thanks for listening in!

Transcribe →Quinceañera
Apr 30, 202100:37:35Tap to summarizePeople love a party and a quinceañera is a party on crack. There is church, a procession, pageantry, synchronized dancing, and of course, glamour and drama. It is the stuff that literally movies, documentaries, and TV shows are made of and have been made of. For this week’s podcast we interview Jesse Garcia, the star of Quinceañera, the movie from 2006. We talked with Jesse a little bit about quinceañeras, but mostly we talked about the movie. Enjoy! Did you have a quinceañera? Will your daughter(s) have one?

Transcribe →Things We Miss From Our Pre-Mom Life
Apr 23, 202100:28:53Tap to summarizeThe thing is that no matter what advice you get, what books you read, what mother adjacent experience you may have had, nothing can prepare you for the realities of becoming a first time mom. It is just impossible to comprehend until you live it and see how your body, your mind and I dare say your soul, will react. It is an intense and difficult transition and it is all encompassing especially at the very beginning, so it isn’t until you kind of feel like you have the hang of it, that you can even recall who you were before you became a mom. What are some of the things you miss from your pre-mom days? Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your pre-mom self? Mamá Cita Podcast is available on all streaming platforms.

Transcribe →Latinidad
Apr 16, 202100:35:40Tap to summarizePoliticians, marketers, content creators want to speak to us and appeal to us because we are a fast growing population who will soon be approaching our peak earning years. Having a term like Latino, makes it easy for them, the people in power, the patriarchy, however you want to call it, to put a very diverse population into a very neat little box. The real question here is: is it easier on us to be or become Latinos in the US or is it just another confusing term of identity we have to adapt to and learn to be a part of? How do you explain Latinidad to your kids? Is this a term you identify with? Mamá Cita Podcast is available on all streaming platforms. Thanks for listening in!

Transcribe →Making Mom Friends
Apr 9, 202100:29:43Tap to summarizeOne of the hardest things we have ever had to do was make mom friends. We are being very deliberate about not just saying friends, because a mom friend is very specific. A mom friend is someone you can go through motherhood with. A mom friend is an ally, a confidant, an ear, and a fellow soldier in the trenches. What has your experience been making mom friends? Do you think having mom friends is important? Have you benefited from having a mom friend group? Mamá Cita Podcast is available on all streaming platforms. Thanks for listening in! Follow our show on Twitter and Instagram @mamacitapodcast.

Transcribe →Stereotypes of the Latina Mom
Apr 2, 202100:33:41Tap to summarizeIn the past, the representation of Latina women in the media has been extremely stereotypical at best. We have been portrayed as the sex pot, the maid, the gangster or as immigrants that cannot speak English, or speak English with an accent. And while I admit that all stereotypes are founded in some truth, and that we all know one of these archetypes in our own circles, what is missing is everyone else in between. Real, complex, complicated, people that straddle and navigate both worlds with ease and distress. What are some stereotypes of the Latina woman or mom that you’ve encountered in the media? Do you see yourself accurately represented? What would you like to see in the portrayal of Latina women and moms in the media? Mamá Cita Podcast is available on all streaming platforms.

Transcribe →Superstitions: Tu Me Hiciste Brujeria
Mar 26, 202100:23:43Tap to summarizeOur lives are filled with so many superstitions. Even today, when we consider ourselves more educated because of the advancements in science and technology, we partake in superstitious rituals just in case. These rituals are a way to make us feel like we have control over what is oftentimes uncontrollable, like luck, love, and the opinion of others, to name a few. What are some superstitions you grew up with? Do you find that these superstitions are true or provide comfort or a sense of control? Are you passing down these superstitions to your kids?

Transcribe →The Mamacita Confessions
Mar 19, 202100:53:36Tap to summarizeIn the Latina motherhood system the seven deadly sins are considered especially heinous. In Southern California, the dedicated podcasters who confess these scandalous stories are members of an elite squad known as the Mamá Cita Podcast. These are their stories. But all joking aside, what are some things you’ve done that you hope your kids will never do? Do you have actual regrets about these actions? Will you be open and share your questionable decisions with your kids in the hopes that they will do better? Mamá Cita Podcast is available on all streaming platforms. Thanks for listening in!
