Feeling torn between cultural traditions and modern parenting? You're not alone! In this solo episode, we explore the process of building a unique parenting style that aligns with our values as first or second-generation Latina moms. I share strategies for developing a parenting style that honors your Latina heritage while embracing modern values.

We discuss the challenges of balancing traditional cultural values with modern parenting approaches, navigating cultural expectations, and addressing language barriers and societal stereotypes.

This episode offers strategies for identifying core values, educating oneself on parenting styles, communicating with partners, finding community support, and being flexible in parenting approaches.
