148. How to Break Free from Marianismo with Juda Avila, MA, AMFT

In this week's episode, we welcome Juda Avila, a bilingual therapist and postpartum coach who's doing incredible work with first-gen Latina moms. As someone who experienced postpartum depression twice and grew up witnessing the silent sacrifices of Marianismo, Juda brings both professional expertise and lived experience to this conversation. We dive deep into the cultural expectations that keep us silent about our struggles, the identity loss that comes with motherhood, and most importantly, how we can redefine what it means to be a "good mom" without erasing ourselves in the process.

How Marianismo shapes our motherhood experience, creating the cultural expectation that we must sacrifice everything. Matrescence explained, and why it's critically under-supported in our communities. The Self-Care Menu framework - a practical approach to filling your cup daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly without the mom guilt. Why there's no such thing as perfect balance, and how to embrace the "beautiful dance" of prioritizing different parts of your life at different times. Building community and finding support systems beyond your partner, especially when cultural barriers make it hard to ask for help.
