Relationships look different for everyone—and for Latinas navigating culture, expectations, and evolving family dynamics, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. In Episode 2 of Listen, Mija, we’re talking about the ways love, family, and partnership take shape in our lives today.
Here’s a snapshot of what we unpack:
Stella opens up about her recent divorce and what it's been like entering a new, long-distance relationship—with someone 14 years younger
Jen shares what it means to co-parent while also raising a blended family with her partner and three kids
Jennie reflects on being in a long-term partnership without ever marrying, raising a kindergartener on the spectrum, and parenting a teenager from a previous relationship
Together, we ask:
What was dating like for us, really?
How do we define partnership now?
What do we think about open relationships?
And how do we make these complex dynamics work—especially when other parents, exes, and kids are part of the picture?
This episode is part love letter, part reality check. Because the truth is, our stories aren’t wrapped in a bow—and that’s what makes them worth telling. Whether you're single, coupled, healing, or somewhere in between, there's space for you here.
