Welcome back to Chatting with My Amigas! Since this week is Mother’s Day, today’s topic is motherhood. Tune in to hear each of our stories of parenting and being parented by the women in our lives. Becoming parents has made us appreciate our own mothers in a different way, as we navigate raising children in a world so different from the one we grew up in. Today’s conversation also explores the impact of family planning and parenthood on our relationships with our partners and former partners. One thing we all agree on is that nobody can challenge and reward us the way our children do through every phase of life. Join us to hear what becoming mothers and being mothered means to each of us today.
