Feeling overwhelmed by all the parenting advice out there? Don't worry, mama! You have the wisdom of your ancestors on your side.

In this episode, I discuss how Latina moms can embrace a simpler, more rooted approach to parenting by leveraging the rich traditions of our heritage. I share three significant ways to reclaim traditional mothering practices: trusting our instincts over technology, minimizing the reliance on modern gadgets, and the importance of community support.

I emphasize the cultural and practical value of using traditional methods like the rebozo for baby-carrying and highlight the significance of the cuarentena postpartum recovery period. Reclaiming your cultura isn't just about traditions – it's about connecting with your roots, trusting your inner voice, and simplifying motherhood.
