  • Gracias from a step mamacita & cat mom

    Ok. Let me start out by sharing, that I am a step mamacita. I’ve never looked up step mom podcasts, but I’m so glad they exist. I don’t have to listen to others to know that this one is definitely my favorite. You have a beautiful way of combining latinidad, bilingualism, biculturalism and all while discussing blended families. Thank you for helping me feel seen!
