In this episode, Yamel Belen and Patricia Alvarado discuss the importance of thriving in motherhood rather than merely surviving. They explore the impact of trauma and childhood experiences on parenting, the significance of healing the inner child, and practical strategies for mothers to shift from survival mode to a thriving mindset. The conversation emphasizes the need for compassion, setting boundaries, and allowing oneself to play and relax as essential components of self-care and resilience in motherhood. In this conversation, Patricia Alvarado and Yamel Belen discuss the importance of boundaries in relationships, how to redefine success for Latina moms, and the significance of self-care and mindfulness practices. They emphasize that boundaries can enhance connections rather than create distance, and that success should align with personal values rather than societal expectations. The discussion also highlights the need for self-care and finding moments of peace amidst daily responsibilities.
