Modern Day Mujeres

Hi Mujeres! As always, we were on tangents on this episode and fired away some of our icks. Something in the air is causing us to want to choose violence and we're here for it. Let us know your thoughts some of them or don't. 

Hi Mujeres!! Happy New Year! We are so excited to be back in the studio and recording again, it's definitely refreshing! This episode we go over what we look forward to in the 2023 new year, what our goals are, what we want to work on - personally and podcast wise, which makes us so excited for what is to come. We know goals are usually set for the new year but we want to hold each other accountable and make a plan for how we intend to achieve our goals. Like the saying goes - "Nothing changes if nothing changes." If there's something you want to accomplish, with your job, your personal life, etc write down your plan and crush every goal! We believe in you! 

Hi Mujeres! Long time no see or...talk. We've been MIA lately and pretty much all year. This episode will address where we've been, where we're going, and if we're going to continue Modern Day Mujeres. Thanks for sticking around and supporting us. We hope to see you all soon. This is our Goodbye...FOR NOW. 

Hi Mujeres! We're back from our long hiatus and glad to be back recording! We catch up with what we've been up to and where we've been. Liz with her fitness journey and getting her last baby ready for school and Mel moving and her long distance relationship, we have been busy this summer. We open up the discussion of relationships and when men support and encourage their partners, it provides a safe space for us to be who we really and in turn give back to them for their needs. Like the saying goes, it's give and take on both ends. We hope you enjoy this long episode! Let us know what else you'd like to hear! 

WARNING: LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED! 

Hi Mujeres! We catch up with The Ultimatum finale and reunion but don't worry, no spoilers! Somehow we jumped on the topic of female hygiene and what all it takes to "maintain" ourselves. That goes for waxing, nails, feminine care, and even STD checks and scares! Let us know what you think of today's episode and what you want to rant about when it comes to taking care of ourselves or what you enjoy doing to keep yourselves groomed. 

Hi Mujeres! After watching the new Netflix series "Ultimatum," it had us reeling back and thinking if we've ever given someone an ultimatum. Whether to get married, become coupled up, or even not putting up with a dirty habit. Most times it's a woman giving a man an ultimatum to put a ring on it but sometimes it's the other way around! Listen and see what happened when one of us was given an ultimatum. 

Hi Mujeres! So many of us are on healing journey's to unbreak cycles, heal a broken heart, and discovering who we are. While it's an experience that is liberating and definitely a roller coaster of emotions, no one talks about the ugly side of healing. What are the things you've experienced that you weren't prepared for or didn't expect? We talk about the things we've experienced while knocking down those walls to finding our true selves. Healing is not linear and no one's journey is the same but it's nice to see sometimes we're not alone in some of those feelings. Let us know what you think of the episode and what your experience has been.

Shout out to Hello Studios for assisting with production.

Hi Mujeres! After watching Euphoria, based on high school students, we look back at our young and dumb choices. In our teenage phase, we don't have a strong moral compass to determine what is right or wrong for us. We are all making decisions without a thought of consequence and just living in the moment. We talk about some regrets, what we thought we knew, and see if we would do anything different. Let us know your thoughts. What is a moment in your younger years that makes you shake your head? 

Hi Mujeres! This is our last episode of 2021! We wanted to finish out with a bang and what we've learned this year. We asked you what 2021 meant to you and what you're leaving behind. We could all agree that we are looking forward to the new year. With the new SATC series, Just Like That, we wanted to dive into how the show went on without a significant character, Samantha, and how her relationship with Carrie fell apart. With that being said, Liz explains a friend breakup that happened this year and what she learned from it. Friend breakups can be harder than with a significant other because we put so much trust and effort into them and when they don't work out, it questions our character and who we are as friends. We hope this episode helps anyone going through the end of a friendship and how to look at the positives that can come with it. Let us know your thoughts. 

Hi Mujeres! Happy December! We are happy to be back recording and getting ready for 2022. We can't believe the year is coming to a close. We talk about what our next plans are for Christmas and how we are moving forward with the new year. Mel also answers some questions on her long distance relationship and how her partner and her make it work. 

Let us know if you'd be able to survive a long distance relationship or what tips/advice you'd provide to have a successful LDR. 

Hi Mujeres! We have guest and Masterchef contestant Annai Gonzalez Rodriguez join us in the studio to talk about her passion for food and the idea that sparked her interest to audition for the cooking challenge judged by the worlds best chefs, including Gordon Ramsay himself. Annai is a first generation Mexican-American that has a passion for culinary and inspiring people to use their resources to make amazing food. She also runs a local bakery, Oak Cliff Baked, which specializes in cheesecakes but offers so much more. Check out the most recent season (season 11) of Masterchef Legends to catch Annai.

Welcome back Mujeres, 

In the studios we have with us Dallas Influencer/Blogger Mrs. Bella Maria. She share on her Instagram all things Fashion, Beauty & Lifestyle... that's not all she is. We chat with her on how she has accomplished so much all while keeping more of her personal life off of the highlight reels of social media. She tells us of her journey overcoming losing herself in motherhood and being a wife to putting her talents nd passion into creating a small business and making money off of being an influencer. She says, "you can have it all!' so tune into the episode and hear how. Make sure to follow her on IG @mrs_bella_maria & her small business @wild_bella_boutique . 

Mujeres!! This is a huge milestone for us, our 100th episode! Thank you for joining us on this wild ride and listening to our shenanigans. 

To celebrate this, we are joined by none other than one of our favorite guest, Alexander Chase (Chris). He always gives great insight and feedback when speaking on topics of relationships through a mans perspective and we wanted to know more about the emotional availability of men. As women, we know it may be difficult for some men to share their emotions with us or to share what their intentions are when they're in a relationship with us. As we discuss, it may be women as well who have the same trouble keeping themselves emotionally available too. Let us know your thoughts! 

Hi Mujeres!! We are back!! Thanks for sticking with us while we took a much needed break. As you know, we took some time off after last episode because it was pretty heavy and we needed to get our minds right. We celebrated out 30K downloads and 2 year anniversary by taking a trip to Las Vegas to get away. We wanted to follow up with a life update instead of just throwing up a pre-recorded episode up so we wanted to follow up with Liz's mental health following last episode and see how she's feeling today. Mel also confirmed her relationship status...she's got a boyfriend and it's hella cute. We are excited to be back and to bring you so much more exciting content. Let us know what you want to hear from the both of us. We've also opened up our Guest Sheet so be sure to click on the link if you want to be a guest. 

Hi Mujeres! Since May is Mental Health Awareness Month, we wanted to bring a special episode focusing on mental health and the benefits that fitness and physical activity has done for our mental health. Alejandra Suarez works in PR during the day and teaches yoga in her free time. Ale found yoga as a coping mechanism during college while she was going through life's challenges. She noticed a huge shift in her mental health and wanted to spread her joy and gift to others so she decided to turn her new love of yoga into an opportunity to share it with others by teaching. Alejandra currently offers virtual yoga classes and will soon be having in person session, she also offers her sessions in Spanish to make all feel welcome. Go give her a follow on IG @alejandrasy to check her out and what upcoming sessions she will be hosting.

We also bring up some red flags that you all submitted and gave our thoughts and opinions.

Happy New Year Mujeres!! Good Riddance to 2020. As much as we're happy that the new year is here, last year really made us reflect on everything. Our lives, the future of this podcast, the things we need to change, and what we are hopeful for. Will 2021 really be any different? We don't know but we're just going to live day by day and be grateful for this podcast and you all for being there along the way. 

Hi Mujeres!! A bonus episode this week as promised! We had an anonymous listener write in about her toxic in-laws and how she should manage life with her significant other and their children.

If you have any other advice for her, DM us and we will follow up with her. 

Hi Mujeres! We had Melanie on to share her experience of raising her special needs son as a single mom and how she navigated dating.

Hi Mujeres! After watching the Hulu series 'Shrill,' the specific episode "WAHAM" struck a cord with us. It had us really thinking if the women empowerment and feminism groups and movement is a con and a way for people and businesses to make money off our insecurities. We give our thoughts and our own opinions on the matter. We urge you to listen with an open mind and let us know your thoughts. We share some of the follower feedback from questions we prompted on our Instagram stories.

Hi Mujeres! Having female relationships can be so important and empowering but at the same time just like every type of relationship, they take work and effort. Friendship breakups can be just as hard and difficult as a losing a significant other. It's almost like losing a sister. When is it time to give up a toxic friendship? Do you block them? In today's world, ghosting and blocking is easier than ever and sometimes it's the only tool to get rid of that toxic and negative energy. Today's episode we talk about navigating losing friendships, toxic relationships, and how we've overcome them.

Hey Mujeres!!! LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. ADULT CONVERSATION ONLY!! We brought back a guest, can you guess who?....Alexander Chase! He wanted to follow up with us after listening to our WAP episode to share his input and who are we to say no?? We welcomed him back to have an open conversation in regards to women and their sexuality. With toxic masculinity, women who share their sexuality are often shunned for sharing that intimate parts of themselves but it doesn't make them any less. ALL women should be treated with respect regardless of how they present themselves. Let us know your thoughts! We'd love to hear your feedback! Follow Alexander Chase on IG @alexndrchase

Hey Mujeres!! This episode is for ADULTS ONLY! Listener discretion is advised. If you've heard the new Cardi B and Meg Thee Stallion hit "WAP" you know it's been turning some heads (no pun intended) and dropping jaws. You know MDM is all about women empowerment and we stan for this women anthem and celebrating our sensual and sexual side. What is the point of sexual desire and pleasure if you don't know how or what you want? We need to take that power back and learn to love ourselves inside and out. Modern Day Mujeres would love to hear your feedback or stories you'd like to share.

Hi Mujeres!! June is Pride Month celebrates  annually in honor of the 1969 Stonewall riots which was done to equality and justice of the LGBTQ+ community. In June 1969, activists and patrons of the Stonewall Inn in Manhattan New York City began their resistance against police harassment and persecution of the LGBTQ+.

Hi Mujeres! We have a special series as April is Autism Awareness Month! Part 2 of our series features guest, Anissa. Anissa shares with us her journey of her first born son, Jayden, and his diagnosis of autism at the age of three. She's a great mother and loves sharing and embracing Jayden's abilities. Anissa wants to bring awareness for mothers, parents, and everyone that having a child or a loved one with this diagnosis is not a burden but is a way of seeing a different world in the eyes of a person on the spectrum. 

"Jayden is 4 years old and was officially diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at the age of 3. Although he can not speak, he has come such a long way by communicating with our family in other ways. He will either bring objects he wants to us, or take our hand and walk us over to something, such as the door, to let us know he wants to go outside. He loves music, jumping on the trampoline, looking at books, car rides & holding hand. Anyone who spends time with Jayden will tell you he is the biggest sweetheart and most laid back kid ever."

Hi Mujeres! We have a special series as April is Autism Awareness Month! Part 1 of our series features a previous guest, Krystal, that is sister and guardian to 18 year old Jr. Krystal shares their journey and wants to bring awareness to autism as well as sharing the plentiful of resources that are available for children and adults on the spectrum 

Krystal shares with us, "Jr is an 18 year old non-verbal high school senior with Autism. He was diagnosed around the age of 3-4. His favorite activities are legos, puzzles, word searches, riding his bike, watching classic Disney movies, listening to music and basketball! As a little kid, he would have tantrums daily, self harm, needed a lot of assistance and prompting. Throughout the years, he has learned how to be independent, communicate with his speaking device and has absolutely amazed us with his perseverance. Jr can complete almost any home chore or task you ask of him and is a huge help around the house. Once of my favorite things about him is how loving he is. It is difficult for those with autism to show and even receive affection because of the sensory output. Jr although can be stubborn at times is always willing to give you hugs and kisses! He's currently working on his money counting abilities and I know with time and continued support he will have that mastered."
