Episode Synopsis
Send us a text🎧 Episode Description:We were told to be quiet—to not talk back, to not question, to not share our feelings. But silence isn’t always golden. In this powerful episode, we talk about the ways silence shaped our family, our emotional world, and our self-worth. From unspoken pain to unexpressed dreams, we explore how breaking the silence—gently, bravely—can be a radical act of healing. This is an episode about learning to use our voice, and giving our children permission to do the same.🪑 Topics to Cover:The Culture of Silence“Calladita te ves más bonita” and how that shaped girls differentlyThe cost of being “respectful” at the expense of honestyHow silence protected the family image, but wounded the individualUnspoken Things in Our HomeTopics we weren’t allowed to talk about (mental health, trauma, mistakes, needs)How we communicated without words—and what got lost in translationWhat silence taught us (intentionally or not)Breaking the Silence with CompassionHow to start hard conversations without burning bridgesWhat breaking the silence has healed in our familyWhen silence is protection—and when it’s fearRaising Children to Speak UpTeaching our kids to use their voice with respect and confidenceHow we respond when our children challenge or question usGiving kids language for their emotions we never hadSupport the showFollow us on instagram and facebook: La Mesa Con Papi Email us: [email protected] instagram: Stephanie_Nemeroff or Beto Huizar tiktok: Stephanie.Nemeroff YouTube: Bienvenidos a La Mesa Share this episode or any other episode with someone you think might benefit from healing.
