EPISODE 46Soy El Idiota Special Exposes Cultural Clashes and Personal Dilemmas.In this episode of "HMA - Am I the Asshole?" (Soy El Idiota?) we dive deep into three thought-provoking scenarios that challenge social norms, cultural sensitivities, and personal boundaries.

Is it justified to educate a friend about the offensiveness of certain words, even if they belong to a different ethnic background?Next, emotions flare as another user grapples with the decision to forbid their Mexican girlfriend from participating in a traditional dance. Are they protecting cultural heritage or stifling individual expression in their relationship?Lastly, we explore the complexities of family dynamics as one user struggles with revealing their Latino boyfriend's ethnicity to their parents. Is it fair to keep a partner's background hidden to avoid potential conflicts or judgments from loved ones?Join us as we navigate through these challenging scenarios and invite our community to weigh in on the moral dilemmas presented. Will opinions align, or will diverse perspectives shed light on the complexity of these situations?

EPISODE 31It’s time to expand the definition of “medicine”. Healed people, heal people.Welcome back, dear HMA listeners!Join us as we immerse ourselves in the captivating world of curanderismo.Curanderismo is a form of traditional medicine that has its roots in the indigenous cultures of Latin America and has been passed down from generation to generation. It combines elements of herbal medicine, spirituality and energy healing to treat a variety of physical and emotional ailments.One of the most interesting aspects of curanderismo is its holistic approach. Healers believe that body, mind, and spirit are intrinsically connected, and that illness or imbalance in one of these aspects can affect the others. Therefore, treatment focuses on restoring balance and harmony at all levels.In this episode, we had the pleasure of welcoming "Chio" as our special guest. Chio is the owner of Sacred Semillas, a nurturing space located in Oakland, CA. At Sacred Semillas, they offer various services such as Limpias (spiritual cleansings), Retreats, Forest Bathing, Self-Care Socials, and even a Mercadito (marketplace). In the previous episode, some of you might recall that Lizette's mother underwent surgery at the end of June, and her recovery has been quite challenging. Despite the difficulties, Lizette and her family were able to bring her mother back home. It was during this time that Lizette's mother expressed a desire for a "limpia," a spiritual cleansing. Determined to find someone trustworthy, Lizette reached out and met Chio, who played an instrumental role in their journey.To discover the rest of the story and gain insight into the world of curanderismo, we invite you to listen to this episode. We'd love to hear your own experiences with curanderismo or if you know someone who has benefited from its practices. Share your thoughts and stories with us.Remember, while curanderismo offers valuable healing approaches, it's always essential to seek professional medical advice.GUEST:“Chio”IG: @Sacred.Semillas https://www.instagram.com/sacred.semillas/SacredSemillas@gmail.comDOWNLOAD and SUBSCRIBE to Hijas Madres Y Amigas & FOLLOW US ON:INSTAGRAM@hijasmadresyamigashttps://rb.gy/v3kfq@seelenaaa_https://rb.gy/suy5y@lizetteaguilera_https://rb.gy/81p2gSPOTIFYLizette - https://tinyurl.com/328abak3Selena - https://rb.gy/ohw0oTIK-TOK@hijasmadresyamigashttps://tinyurl.com/2aw88byhSUBSCRIBE to our newsletter at www.justjmarc.com/hijasmadresyamigasPlease email us here with any suggestions, comments, and questions for future episodes. hijasmadresyamigas@gmail.comAnd recuerden, "When you know better, You do better."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hijas-madres-y-amigas--5176172/support.

¿Qué andan comiendo? - A Dive into Our Snack Obsessions and Picky Eaters Struggles!Here at HMA, we believe that good food is not only important for our bodies but also for our souls. That's why we love talking about what we eat and sharing recipes with each other. In today's episode, we dive deep into the world of family snacks and meals. As women of Hispanic heritage from the Bay Area, we bring a unique perspective on the food we grew up with and the food we now cook for our own families. In this episode, we explore our favorite home-cooked meals, from traditional family recipes to modern twists on classic dishes. We also discuss the struggles we face when feeding our picky eaters and the various techniques we've tried to make mealtime more enjoyable for everyone. Beyond that, we dive into our own personal histories with food, sharing stories of "struggle foods" we remember from our childhoods, when money was tight or our mothers were too tired to cook. Lizette shares her own experience with how a poor diet can affect a child's ability to concentrate, and how awareness is the first step towards creating positive change. Finally, we want to hear from you, our listeners! Share with us your tips and tricks for feeding picky eaters, or your go-to healthy snacks and meals for your family. You can send us a message or leave a comment on our social media handles, listed below. Join us on this journey of exploring the rich and delicious world of family food!Y como siempre, remember you guys - When You Know Better, You Do Better!DOWNLOAD and SUBSCRIBE to Hijas Madres Y Amigas.FOLLOW us on:Instagram | @hijasmadresyamigas @seelenaaa_ @lizetteaguilera_Spotify | @Lizette Aguilera @Selena DUARTETik Tok | @hijasmadresyamigasSubscribe to our newsletter at www.Justjmarc.comPlease email us here with any suggestions, comments, and questions for future episodes.
