A podcast for mamas navigating safety, parenting, and raising kids with cultura, heart, and a little bit of chisme.

Listen Now

Whether it’s figuring out the baby aisle or debating pacifier rules, parenting can feel overwhelming. That’s why I created The Inspector Mama Podcast—your weekly guide to credible advice, cultural insights, and all of my side quests.

Cada semana, we’ll cover topics like finding the best arroz con leche recipe while keeping your sanity, the science behind abuelita’s remedies (yes, Vicks makes an appearance), exploring parenting styles and navigating la cultura, politics and how they impact working class families.

Together, we will figure out how to raise kind, compassionate children while honoring our cultura.


Pull up a chair, grab your cafecito, and tune into the podcast.
