Halloween may be about costumes, candy, and spooky fun, but the traditions we carry with us go much deeper.

In this episode of MADRES & DESMADRES, we take a trip down memory lane to revisit our favorite Halloween memories, compare childhood traditions with motherhood today, and share the meaning behind Día de los Muertos.

From ofrendas and marigolds to favorite foods, family stories, and the loved ones who continue to shape our lives, we reflect on the beautiful ways we keep their memories alive and pass our traditions on to the next generation.

Of course, we bring our usual cafecito, laughs, and a little desmadre along the way! But we also make room for the heartfelt moments that remind us where we come from and what we hope our children will carry forward.

Because traditions don’t have to stay exactly the same to remain meaningful. Sometimes, it’s the stories we tell, the memories we share, and the love we pass down that matter most.

Dime, Madre… What family tradition do you hope your children carry on?

Tune in, share this episode with your comadres, and join the conversation!

MADRES & DESMADRES — Real Moms. Real Life. A Little Desmadre.

And remember Madres, nobody has this shit figured out. We're just doing our best, one desmadre at a time.

Hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings, and forgetting why you walked into a room… comadres, nobody prepared us for THIS part of being a woman!

In Episode 6 of Madres & Desmadres, we’re talking perimenopause and menopause—the symptoms nobody warned us about, the moments that make us question our sanity, and the struggle of trying to function at work when our bodies and brains seem to have other plans.

We’re playing “Menopause or Nah?!”, sharing our own experiences, and getting into the big debate: Should women get paid menopause days off? If companies offer maternity leave, should they also recognize the challenges that can come with menopause? Or should workplaces focus on more flexible support for everyone?

We’re laughing, keeping it real, and talking about what women actually need—from better education and healthcare to understanding, flexibility, and the freedom to speak up without feeling embarrassed.

Because this isn’t just about hot flashes. It’s about our health, our work, and learning to navigate a new chapter of life without feeling like we have to suffer in silence.

¿Y tú, Madre? Would you use paid menopause days if your job offered them?

When did we go from staying out late to getting excited about canceled plans and being home by 9:30?

In this episode of Madres & Desmadres, we’re laughing about the moment we realized we’ve officially entered our señora era! From sounding just like our mothers and embracing our new habits to debating what actually counts as señora behavior, we’re sharing funny stories, embarrassing confessions, and plenty of relatable moments.

But it’s not just about getting older. We’re also talking about how our priorities change, the boundaries we learn to set, and finding comfort in who we are instead of who we thought we’d be.

Because maybe becoming a señora isn’t about getting older… it’s about finally becoming comfortable with yourself.

¿Y tú, Madre? When did you realize you’d become a señora?
