Super Mamás

This July, we’re taking some time off to rest and enjoy the summer with our families. We’re also so close to celebrating ten years of Super Mamás! While we take some time away and look back on the ten years we’ve been doing this podcast, we thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane with some of our best and earliest episodes! Today, we’re throwing it all the way back to our second episode: Paulina’s Birth story! It’s so fun to listen back and see where we were at this phase in our lives. We hope you enjoy listening back as much as we did!

The situation in LA is changing day to day but we wanted to take a moment to share how we are feeling and what people can do to show their support to the communities fighting for their rights in Los Angels.
