116. Balanced Madrehood: How to Prioritize Self-Care as Latina Moms

In this third episode of our special 8-episode Balanced Madrehood series, I tackle a topic that resonates with so many Latina moms: the misconception that taking care of ourselves is somehow selfish.

As Latina moms, we've often been conditioned to believe that self-sacrifice is the ultimate expression of love. Today, I challenge that notion and explore why true self-care isn't just nice to have, it's absolutely essential for those of us balancing multiple roles and responsibilities.

• How the cultural concept of "marianismo" creates additional barriers to self-care for Latina moms
