    "Amar a tus hijos es romper los patrones que te hicieron daño" con Astrid Rivera (Parte 2)

    ¿Cómo sanamos nuestras propias heridas sin convertirlas en heridas de nuestros hijos? En la segunda parte de esta conversación con Astrid Rivera, Katia y Astrid profundizan en lo que significa sanar mientras criamos. Astrid habla con vulnerabilidad sobre su experiencia como sobreviviente de abuso sexual infantil, la soledad que marcó esos años y cómo la maternidad la ha llevado a reflexionar sobre trauma generacional, crianza consciente y romper patrones familiares. También conversan sobre una de las transiciones más agridulces de la maternidad: aprender a soltar. Mientras su hijo mayor se prepara para irse a la universidad, Astrid comparte cómo está aprendiendo a transformar la preocupación en confianza y a celebrar todo lo que ha sembrado durante años de crianza. Una conversación sobre maternidad, sanación, trauma, romper ciclos generacionales y confiar en nuestros hijos cuando llega el momento de dejarlos volar.

    Criar sin miedo: sanar traumas y romper ciclos generacionales con Astrid Rivera (Parte 1)

    ¿Cómo criamos desde nuestras experiencias sin hacer que nuestros hijos carguen con heridas que no les pertenecen? En este episodio, Katia conversa con la periodista, emprendedora y madre de tres Astrid Rivera sobre las muchas transformaciones que llegan con la maternidad. Astrid habla de su reciente decisión de alejarse de un trabajo que alguna vez representó un sueño para hacer espacio para una nueva etapa, estar más presente con sus hijos y reencontrarse consigo misma fuera de los títulos profesionales. Como sobreviviente de abuso sexual infantil, Astrid también comparte cómo ha aprendido a criar sin convertir su propio trauma en el miedo de sus hijos. Juntas, hablan sobre consentimiento, autonomía corporal, conversaciones difíciles, pedirles perdón a nuestros hijos y la responsabilidad de romper patrones generacionales mientras seguimos sanando nuestras propias heridas. Y mientras su hijo mayor se prepara para dejar el hogar, Astrid reflexiona sobre otro duelo silencioso de la maternidad: criar a nuestros hijos para el mundo y, eventualmente, tener el valor de dejarlos ir. Una conversación profundamente vulnerable sobre maternidad, trauma, sanación, crianza consciente, consentimiento, ciclos generacionales y el amor que permanece incluso mientras todo cambia.

    Garrison Hayes on Raising Boys, Positive Masculinity & Parenting with Hope (Pt. 2)

    How do we raise children who are compassionate, courageous, and prepared to make the world better than they found it? In Part 2 of Katia Lindor's conversation with award-winning journalist and creator Garrison Hayes, the discussion turns to one of parenting's greatest responsibilities: the values we model every day. Together, they explore raising boys in the age of social media, confronting harmful ideas about masculinity, and why emotional vulnerability may be one of the greatest gifts a father can give his son. Katia and Garrison also reflect on the fears that come with parenting in today's political climate, the importance of teaching history, the power of representation, and why hope is an act of courage. Throughout the conversation, they remind us that children don't just learn from what we tell them—they learn from who they see us become. Whether you're raising sons, daughters, or simply trying to become the kind of adult you hope your children emulate, this episode is an invitation to lead with compassion, intention, and hope.

    Love > Hate | Mic Flip with Katia & Marina

    Katia sits down with her producer, Marina, to reflect on the most meaningful lessons from the season’s conversations. Together, they revisit the powerful themes that emerged from interviews with activists, educators, public service officials, journalists, and parents navigating complex social realities. From dismantling rigid gender norms and raising emotionally healthy boys, to modeling activism for the next generation, this episode explores what it means to parent with intention in an increasingly polarized world. Katia opens up about how her own upbringing shaped her values, the responsibility that comes with privilege, and why empathy—especially the kind that extends beyond our own communities—is essential to raising compassionate children. Along the way, the conversation revisits key moments from the season’s guests: immigrant advocates using storytelling as resistance, journalists reporting on difficult truths while protecting their families, mothers navigating invisible labor and caregiving, and philosophers reminding us that ethics is a responsibility we all share. Ultimately, this episode asks a simple but profound question: What values are we passing on to the next generation—and how do we model them every day? If this season has shown anything, it’s that parenting doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It lives at the intersection of culture, policy, community, and the deeply human work of raising thoughtful, empathetic people. - Don’t forget to FOLLOW the podcast on Instagram and TikTok.

PERO… Además de lo profundo, discuten los temas más virales del momento. Porque no podíamos terminar la temporada sin saber qué pensaron los Lindor acerca del Benito Bowl, y qué pensó Francisco acerca de Heated Rivalry.

    The Ethics of Parenting: A Philosophy Professor on Truth, Values, and Modern Fatherhood

    What happens when an ethics professor becomes a parent? In this deeply personal conversation, Katia reunites with her former college professor, Dr. J. Colin McQuillan, to explore the intersection of philosophical thinking and real-world parenting. As chair of the Philosophy Department at St. Mary’s University, Colin has spent his career examining ethical frameworks and moral theory. But becoming a father to his six-year-old daughter brought challenges that no textbook could prepare him for—from navigating the unpredictability of childhood to confronting the relentless nature of 24/7 caregiving.This episode tackles the big questions parents face today: How do we raise ethically grounded children in an age of misinformation and political polarization?What role do fathers play in reshaping traditional gender roles and emotional labor in families?And how can we teach our children to care about truth and justice when the world often feels overwhelming?Through candid reflections on everything from his daughter’s unexpected love of fashion to the deeper struggles of teaching children right from wrong, Colin offers a philosophical perspective on parenting that is both intellectually rigorous and refreshingly honest. Whether you’re a parent grappling with how to talk to your kids about difficult topics, an educator thinking about moral development, or simply someone interested in ethics and family life, this conversation will challenge you to think more deeply about the values we pass on to the next generation. --- Don’t forget to FOLLOW the podcast on Instagram and TikTok. SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for all the unapparent content you never knew you needed. ⁠The Unaparent Podcast⁠ is a ⁠Studio Dama⁠ production.

    How Parenthood is Shaping Policy: A Conversation with Senator Ruben Gallego & Sydney Gallego

    What does it mean to raise a family while also serving your country? In this episode of The Unaparent, Katia sits down with Senator Ruben Gallego and his wife, Sydney Gallego, for a conversation that goes far beyond politics. They talk candidly about the realities of parenting three young children while navigating the demands of public life. From breaking cycles of fatherhood to confronting the maternal health crisis, Senator Gallego shares how personal experiences have informed his legislative priorities—including the Dads Matter Act and postpartum Medicaid expansion. Sydney brings her own insights as a maternal health advocate and mother navigating the emotional terrain of postpartum identity and civic engagement. In a country where gun violence is rampant, childcare is out of reach for many, and parental support remains a luxury instead of a given, this episode serves as a welcome reminder that some elected officials are fighting to change that. It’s a reflection of how public service, at its best, begins at home. Because sometimes, being a good parent is one of the most radical and impactful forms of leadership. 🌸 Topics covered: Fatherhood, masculinity & breaking generational cyclesMaternal health & postpartum policy in AmericaRaising kids in an era of gun violenceNavigating political life as a familyWhat gives them hope and what they’re fighting for🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
