Hey, it's me, Alicia, it is Mother's Day.

At its best, a day for moms to get a few hours of the recognition and love they deserve every day.

Also, a nap. A nap would be so great. I know that Mother's Day can be hard for lots of people.

Those who want to become moms and for whatever reason are finding that path more challenging

than they imagined, those who miss their own moms or have complicated relationships

with them. Moms who are missing their kids. However today hits you, we are sending you love.

It will come as no surprise to you that as I sit down week after week with incredible Latinas,

motherhood comes up a lot. And we have talked about it from all angles, infertility,

postpartum, figuring out how to work and mother, mothering our mothers, mothers who are

Sinteras on the DL, and most often the awe we feel as we look back at what our mothers have

sacrificed to make our lives possible. As someone who is both ambitious and has

wanted to be a mom for a long time, I've always been fascinated by how women who have big careers

and kids somehow make it all work. I've also been thinking a lot about motherhood, probably because I

am at home with my own two children and in quarantine,

and I am missing my own mom, who I rely on for support and levity,

and who, if I'm being honest, this moment has taught me that I ought to express my gratitude for more than I do.

Mom, I love you.

So in honor of Mother's Day, I want to share with you some of my favorite moments about motherhood.

The first begins with journalists and broadcast legend Maria Elena Salinas. I asked her a very open-ended question that brought us to infertility, miscarriage, and why she believes that family comes first.

What's the biggest mistake you've ever made in life?

Yikes.

That's a tough one.
