Parenting isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection. This week on Motherish, we’re joined by parenting coach Mariana Pérez Borrero, who helps families raise confident, emotionally aware kids through compassion and practical guidance.

Tune in for thoughtful takeaways, relatable mom moments, and a reminder that we’re all learning as we go, one deep breath at a time.

Toddler tantrums, big feelings, and power struggles — oh my! But what if the “terrible twos” didn’t have to be terrible at all?

As an ICF-certified coach and parenting expert, Devon has helped over a million parents move from chaos to confidence — and she’s here to share practical tools, mindset shifts, and a whole lot of compassion. We talk about what toddlers are really trying to tell us, how to stay calm in the storm, and how to build the kind of parent-child connection that lasts a lifetime. It’s not about perfection — it’s about transformation.

Motherhood is beautiful, but it’s also messy, complicated, and full of contradictions. We love our kids more than anything, yet we’re exhausted. We give endlessly, but still need space for ourselves. We show patience one moment and lose it the next. In this episode, we open up about the duality of motherhood, the push and pull between joy and struggle, selflessness and self-care, and how embracing both sides can help us feel less alone in the journey.

What does it really mean to make space — for creativity, connection, and the parts of ourselves that often get pushed aside?

Is gentle parenting officially over? After years of dominating parenting books and Instagram feeds, many moms and dads are embracing a new-old philosophy: “F Around and Find Out” parenting.

In this episode, we dig into why gentle parenting resonated, why some parents are moving on, and what it really means to balance empathy with boundaries.

For 25 years, Dora the Explorer has been more than a cartoon character, she’s been an icon for Hispanic families around the world.

If you’ve ever felt like there’s a mountain between you and where you want to be, this conversation is here to remind you that change is possible, and it starts from the inside out.

Writer, mom of three, and truth-teller Conz Preti is no stranger to sharing the raw realities of motherhood, but her story goes beyond parenting chaos.

In this episode, she opens up about that experience, the silence around women’s health, and how her journey reshaped the way she shows up as a mom and creator.

From those early days of COVID chaos, stockpiling toilet paper and wondering if newborns needed masks, to getting him ready to march into kindergarten with a backpack almost bigger than he is, the past few years have been a blur.

Whether your child is starting school or just growing up faster than you imagined, you’ll find comfort, laughter, and maybe shed a tear or two in this conversation.

Hilarious and multi-talented, Yuri Lamasbella—actress, content creator, and queen of Kardashian parodies, joins us for a conversation that’s equal parts real and ridiculous (in the best way). From her start as a beauty YouTuber to becoming a viral comedic voice, Yuri has carved out a space where pop culture, humor, and now motherhood collide. We dive into her creative evolution, the beautiful chaos of new mom life, and why self-care isn’t selfish (yes, that oxygen mask metaphor applies here too).

Together, they reflect on how motherhood has reshaped the way they cover some of the most difficult stories—tragedies like the Parkland school shooting and the recent heartbreaking incident at Camp Mystic in Texas. They open up about the emotional weight of reporting on loss, the balancing act of staying professional while processing human grief, and how their roles as mothers bring deeper empathy—and sometimes personal pain—to the stories they share with the world.

Today on Motherish, we’re honored to share the story of Maria Aleandra—a woman whose strength, resilience, and deep love are nothing short of inspiring.
