Five years of the Super Mamas! Can you believe it?!

This week we’re catching up with each other and talking about what we have planned this summer, how Bricia is planning to announce her baby’s gender, and the best tips we have learned over the last few years. We’re also talking about why expecting moms should learn and prepare for the fourth trimester, and Bricia recommend a couple of books that we’ve linked down below.

So much has happened since we launched 5 years ago - our families have grown, we’ve hosted & attended a lot of events, our cookbook launches and so much more. Check out our roundup of what has happened since our first podcast episode in 2015. What has been your favorite Super Mamas memory?

Thank you to all the listeners who has been there for us since the beginning, those who just found us during quarantine and everyone in between. We can’t wait fo bring you even more great interviews, events and meet ups (once it’s safe), and more memories in the coming years! 

TIPS WE’VE LEARNED SINCE WE BEGAN THE PODCAST

We have learned that as wives and mothers, it is important to voice your needs. You must take care of yourself in order to take care of your kids and family. Taking care of your mind, body, and over all health makes a big difference in the lives of everyone around you too. Happiness starts with you first.

Bricia listens to the New York Times’ podcast The Daily every day.

The two books Bricia recommends are The First Forty Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother and Active Birth: The New Approach to Giving Birth Naturally

Surprise! It’s our 200th episode… again. We got a little sidetracked last week 🤷🏽‍♀️ so we’re giving you a bonus episode on the exact date we released our first episode four years ago. We’re reintroducing ourselves, talking about the growth within ourselves & our families, and interviewing each other about the biggest misconceptions our listeners have about us and more. Stay tuned at the end of the episode where we talk about what’s next for us!

We also want to say thank you to every single one of you. From our day one listeners to our new listeners, we’re so grateful for the Super Mamás Sisterhood. You have attended our meetups, panels, events, call our hotline to share your Super Mama Moments and introduce yourselves when you see us out & about. We’ve have grown as a community and created so many new friendships. It’s been a great journey and we’re excited to see what’s next for all of us. Maybe Beyoncé or JLo will perform at the Super Mamás Social one day. 😂😉

We want to know what your favorite Super Mamás memory is! Tell us your favorite episode & guest, your favorite Super Mamás event memory, the friendships you’ve made, anything. We could not do this without you!

Pick or Tip of the Week

If you’re a new listener, these picks are going to show you their exact personalities. This will tell you exactly who Bricia is and who Paulina is.

Paulina’s pick is the best item she’s gotten this summer - a pulling cart. “I needed something to carry all my shit. You know I’m the bag lady? Well now I'm the carrito lady.” She’s going to dump all her kids, bags, girl scout cookies, and she thinks every family should have one.

Bricia’s pick is bougie - her expensive ass Dyson Airwave Blowdryer. Sometimes she hates washing her hair because she has to wait for it to dry before styling it, but with the Dyson, she can go from wet hair to dry hair in 12 minutes. It was $600 but she uses it every single day and even took it on her bougie ass vacation. Worth it.
