The Motherish podcast is kicking off 2024 with four exciting new episodes, presented by the first-ever Toyota Grand Highlander .
Working moms know that life’s not always going to be picture perfect, but it’s those real, everyday moments that make parenthood so awesome. Hosted by Pamela Silva and Karen Comas, Motherish chronicles the adventures of these two Latina moms and all the challenges and joys of motherhood.
We caught up with Karen Comas to learn more about this dynamic duo and why fostering these conversations about Latina motherhood is so important!
Q. How did you two meet and come up with the idea of the podcast?
Karen: We were acquaintances through the media industry for years, however in 2020 Karen wrote a blog post about her postpartum experience which caught Pamela’s attention, since she was pregnant with Ford at the time. Shortly after, Pamela reached out to Karen about the idea of doing a podcast together about motherhood, and a few coffee dates later, it was all in motion.
Q. What do you want moms to take away from your podcast content?
Karen: We think the most important thing moms will hopefully take away from our podcast is that every journey is unique and that every mom is truly the best possible decision-maker for their child. We know that the journey in motherhood is hard and far from perfect, but it’s always worth it. We love sharing different perspectives and angles and ways of doing things, so mommies know they’re not alone and that it is ok to have a different approach to things. We want every mom to feel included in our community.
Q. Why is it important for you to amplify Latina motherhood stories?
Karen: Latina moms are true champs. We’re breaking generational cycles, while oftentimes healing our own hearts. We’re making names for ourselves both inside of the home and out, all while working hard to not lose sight of our essence and cultures. We love to share Latina motherhood stories because we know that we’re all better women and mothers if we respect each other and empathize with each other, and the only way to do that is by learning through different perspectives.
