This May, we’re so excited to team up with Marias Gamesa in this amazing effort to help moms engage in real conversations about motherhood and cultivate a community.
Growing up, Marias Gamesa was a staple in our house, and Bricia even uses it for her famous mole recipe. This year, they have launched the Cafecito con Marias Gamesa campaign. You know we love our cafecito, and we love to chat - that’s exactly what the Super Mamás podcast is all about. It’s even better when it’s a space for conversations with other Latina moms - brought together to speak on these important topics by Marias Gamesa. Over the next two episodes, we’re having a cafecito takeover and welcoming some very exciting guests from the Marias Gamesa Squad - a group of four Latina moms and content creators who will share their realities of motherhood with us - especially when it comes to building a village of support with family, friends, and other moms like us. This is one of the few topics we’ll dive into during this Marias Gamesa takeover that stem from their recent survey on modern-day motherhood.
This week’s guests, part of the Marias Gamesa Squad, are Gabby Carlin, a mommy of three and content creator, and Rossini Perez, a mother of three, lunch-obsessed content creator and cookbook author - we are going to dish into some of the key areas where modern-day mamás need support, community and conversation, and encourage our listeners to join in on the conversation and do the same.
Our Conversation with Gabby & Rossini
Motherhood feels lonely sometimes:
Finding your people, your tribe either in person or social Media is important when becoming a mom. You were not meant to do this by yourself.
How did you find your village?
Don’t be afraid to ask for help: Motherhood is a journey and we all need a helping hand.
Lean on the wisdom of your own Madre and Abuela
In a recent survey by Marias Gamesa, despite 64% of Latina moms sharing they have a support systems, 1 in 5 stated that they face tough parenting moments alone.
What are the biggest lessons that you have taken from your own mother?
Patience is Key, try your best to enjoy the moment, time goes by way too fast
Structure and routine are helpful tools. Gaby and Rossini give us a play by play of their day.
Don’t compare yourself to others, specially social media. Motherhood is messy for everyone, you are doing great !
Marias Gamesa recent survey also found that 62% of moms report feeling relieved after connecting with their own mothers after challenging parenting moments
What are some of you favorite memories with you mom, and how do you want to relive those with your own children ?
Gabby and Rossini share their favorite memories and how they are trying to create new memories through traveling and shopping days!
We share some our favorite remedios learned from our own mamas
Despite almost 90% of Latina mothers indicating that they feel at ease with reaching out to their own mom or mom-like figure for parenting support, Marias Gamesa survey indicated that a shocking 70% of Latina mothers feel too overwhelmed or feel like they don’t have enough time to even call their mothers
