Listen "138. How to Navigate Unexpected Childbirth and NICU Challenges with Xochitl Carmona"
Episode Synopsis
I had the most vulnerable and empowering conversation with Xochitl Carmona, founder of Werk Mija and host of the Werk Mija podcast. As a fellow Latina entrepreneur and now mami, Xochitl opened up about her "dramatica" entrance into motherhood, her NICU experience, and how she's intentionally redefining what it means to be a Latina mother while running a successful business. This conversation touched my heart because it reminded me why we need to keep sharing our stories - especially the ones our cultura has taught us to keep quiet about.For detailed show notes, visit vivalamami.com/episode138What You'll Hear:How Xochitl transitioned from solo entrepreneur to intentional mama business owner and the mindset shifts that came with new prioritiesHer raw and honest birth story - from a healthy pregnancy to an emergency C-section due to HELLP Syndrome and 48 days in the NICUWhy she decided to break the cultural silence around traumatic birth experiences and how vulnerability became her strengthThe challenges of being a NICU mama and how she's advocating for other families going through similar experiencesHer approach to redefining motherhood by leading with intention rather than following outdated expectationsResources Mentioned:Viva la Mami guest episodes featuring Latina moms sharing unexpected childbirth stories:Episode 4: A Loss Mami with Valeria CastilloEpisode 9: A NICU Mami with Gisela RodriguezEpisode 38: How a Bereaved Mami's Profession Became Her Passion with Anna CalixWays to Follow Xochitl:Werk Mija website: werkmija.comFollow @werkmija on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTokListen to the Werk Mija podcastShop Werk Mija products!REGISTER FOR MY FREE MASTERCLASS on how to get dual citizenship in México! 🇲🇽 Love this episode?
