Somos Padres
Summary: Somos Padres is a parenting podcast where husband and wife duo, Paulo and Yesenia, talk about and share information about parenting AND also embrace parenting as the vehicle thru which we can recognize the places where we need to do some work on ourselves. Yesenia would call it healing, Paulo would call it evolve and others would call it something else, but it doesn’t matter what anyone calls it. It is the recognition that our children are our mirrors that reflect back to us the places where we need to grow as human beings, and talking about parenting thru this lens is what Paulo and Yesenia are passionate about. Podcasts drop as often as this mom and dad are able to release.
