Conversation with Paola on the journey of finding her identity, reclaiming our bodies after becoming mothers, and the process of healing and growing through writing and photography.

Conversation with Yosra, she is back on the podcast to talk about her first upcoming trip without her son. Excitement, anxiety and everything in between. Part 1

In this episode of New Mom Who This, Yosra is back on the podcast and we talk about her upcoming girls trip to Vegas. First time since she became a mother that she will be away from her son for more than 24h. We unpack what that means to her, the good the bad and everything in between. She opens up about how getting ready to spend 4 days, not being on mom duty, feels strange and yet exciting. It opens up an interesting perspective: We forget how to be our own selves. What clothes do you bring? Do you even have clothes for that? Spending 4 days with friends who don't have children, how do you adapt? We talk about the apprehension of missing your home and your family too much and the guilt that comes with it. And of course we talk about the fact that despite all of that, she can't wait, and I can't wait for her, to have this time, truly for herself. Let's get into it, and be ready for part 2 soon after, to unpack everything that happened in Vegas. Welcome to another episode of New Mom Who This.

On this episode of NMWT, Paola opens up about social issues that come with being a woman and a mother, as well as an immigrant and social activist. We go through her healing process that came when she decided to write a book, about herself and all that she wants to be.

Ideas that bring guilt to women who try to keep growing as an individual even after having children.  We go back to how difficult it is to juggle all the relationships in our lives with so little time to give. And so much more A beautiful conversation with a brilliant woman. Thank you again Paola. Welcome to New Mom, Who This.
