Erika de la Vega is a woman who has inspired us for many years. We know Erika for her long and distinguished career in radio in Venezuela, her time on television in her country and later throughout Latin America and the world, and for the past four years, her podcast, DEFENSA PROPIA (Self-Defense), has helped us grow, transform, and reinvent ourselves.

But there's a side of Erika we know little about: MOTHERHOOD. In this episode, we discover stories we've never heard before. We learn about Matías's pregnancy while Erika was hosting Latin America Idol in Argentina, what her son's early years were like navigating Caracas traffic with his mother to work, and why motherhood wasn't a topic Erika discussed publicly.

We talk about the biases surrounding motherhood, guilt, how communication with children changes as they transition from childhood to adolescence, and why we must embrace the kind of mother we are, without comparing ourselves to others.

✨ New episodes every WEDNESDAY ✨
