Ep 002 - Dirty (& Stuck) Nanay: Obstacles to Healing & Preventing Toxic Behaviors to Our Offsprings

Being a part of the Sandwich Generation can feel really burned and sticky all at the same time. What is the Sandwich Generation, you ask? "We are the generation of people, typically in their 30s or 40s, responsible for bringing up their own children and for the care of their aging parents." Zee and Rissa discuss how this shows up for them, the sacrifices made to make sure the peanut butter of their parents and the jelly of their children are healthy and happy, the conflict that shows up with meeting these demands, and facing the concept of their aging parents' mortality--- because just don't ketchup to them in age. Feeling spread thin? Caught up in a jam? Feeling in the middle and stuck in a pickle? This episode is for you. And guess who has a bun in the oven... xoxo, Rissa & Zee Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/dirtynanay Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/dirtynanay Join our interactive private Facebook group (open only to Filipinx parents/caregivers/caregivers of Filipinx children): search "Dirty Nanay: Happy Hour" If you feel inspired and want to help with the success of our podcast, consider joining our Patreon page, become a monthly patron, and receive some fun benefits and rewards exclusively from us (www.patreon.com/DirtyNanay) If you want to show us some love, you may email us at dirtynanay@gmail.com And you can now leave us a voicemail/text message to show some love!

It's that time of the year when Zee and Rissa contemplate their decision to feature a scary Halloween episode! Zee and Rissa invite a friend in this scarefest of an episode to tell Filipinx scary stories, hypothesize how monsters smell, dialogue about unexpected sources of fear, explore a Filipinx mythological creature, and play a bastardized version of D&D just so they have a variety of flavors to inspire dread when the lights turn off. xoxo, Rissa & Zee Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/dirtynanay Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/dirtynanay Join our interactive private Facebook group (open only to Filipinx parents/caregivers/caregivers of Filipinx children): search "Dirty Nanay: Happy Hour" If you feel inspired and want to help with the success of our podcast, consider joining our Patreon page, become a monthly patron, and receive some fun benefits and rewards exclusively from us (www.patreon.com/DirtyNanay) If you want to show us some love, you may email us at dirtynanay@gmail.com And you can now leave us a voicemail/text message to show some love!

***NOTE: This episode was recorded in September 2022*** Transitions are hard! It's like living in constant limbo. Zee and Rissa get philosophical and process the concept of changes and transition and how that plays into our world as parents, as working moms, and as human beings with lots of different roles we cherish. It's like living in constant limbo without the certain of... well, certainty. xoxo, Rissa & Zee Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/dirtynanay Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/dirtynanay Join our interactive private Facebook group (open only to Filipinx parents/caregivers/caregivers of Filipinx children): search "Dirty Nanay: Happy Hour" If you feel inspired and want to help with the success of our podcast, consider joining our Patreon page, become a monthly patron, and receive some fun benefits and rewards exclusively from us (www.patreon.com/DirtyNanay) If you want to show us some love, you may email us at dirtynanay@gmail.com And you can now leave us a voicemail/text message to show some love!

Be a doctor at 23, get married by 26, have babies at 27 (make sure it's twins so you get your multiples done!), find an uninhabited new island and claim it your own by 30. Ever feel this low (maybe high?) hum pressure of needing to fulfill these things by 30 or else you're labeled as a failure? Zee and Rissa delve into these arbitrary timeline expectations and talk about how this showed up for them, how it continues to impact them, and what they intend to do to protect their kids from these insignificant expectations with significant impact on people's well-being and happiness. ⁠ xoxo, Rissa & Zee Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/dirtynanay Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/dirtynanay Join our interactive private Facebook group (open only to Filipinx parents/caregivers/caregivers of Filipinx children): search "Dirty Nanay: Happy Hour" If you feel inspired and want to help with the success of our podcast, consider joining our Patreon page, become a monthly patron, and receive some fun benefits and rewards exclusively from us (www.patreon.com/DirtyNanay) If you want to show us some love, you may email us at dirtynanay@gmail.com And you can now leave us a voicemail/text message to show some love!

Ah the magic of friendship! In this episode, Zee and Rissa explore the natural changes in friendships while we parent toddlers--- the celebrations and also grief of trying to maintain these meaningful connections. We start the episode off with imagining our parallel universe selves coming up with a new TV show that involves matchmaking parents with other parents (because, finding parent friends is so much harder than finding a friend just for you--- especially after our 30's!), followed by a dialogue that has us talking about the waning and waxing of relationships as we navigate parenthood. xoxo, Rissa & Zee Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/dirtynanay Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/dirtynanay Join our interactive private Facebook group (open only to Filipinx parents/caregivers/caregivers of Filipinx children): search "Dirty Nanay: Happy Hour" If you feel inspired and want to help with the success of our podcast, consider joining our Patreon page, become a monthly patron, and receive some fun benefits and rewards exclusively from us (www.patreon.com/DirtyNanay) If you want to show us some love, you may email us at dirtynanay@gmail.com And you can now leave us a voicemail/text message to show some love!

What is pretty? Oh so pretty? It's apparently Eurocentric and patriarchal dictated and it's the WORST. Zee and Rissa dialogue about the harmful expectations of beauty on Filipina women, how we've seen it intentionally and unintentionally perpetuated in our childhood, and our daily efforts to combat its harm as it continues to rear its ugly head as we try to live our life free from its manicured, dangerous grasp. xoxo, Rissa & Zee Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/dirtynanay Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/dirtynanay Join our interactive private Facebook group (open only to Filipinx parents/caregivers/caregivers of Filipinx children): search "Dirty Nanay: Happy Hour" If you feel inspired and want to help with the success of our podcast, consider joining our Patreon page, become a monthly patron, and receive some fun benefits and rewards exclusively from us (www.patreon.com/DirtyNanay) If you want to show us some love, you may email us at dirtynanay@gmail.com And you can now leave us a voicemail/text message to show some love!

Ay Bastos!! If you're Rissa or Zee's parents, for the love of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph--- do not listen to this episode!⁠ Rissa and Zee get bare (lmao) about their feelings and perspectives about love, sensuality, and sexuality and dialogue about how coloniality impacted various aspects of the three topics. The two dialogue about their respective and different journeys of sexual liberations, sensuality, and sexuality after giving birth, and the impact of their Catholic upbringing and its impact to today and propose a reality tv show that needs to happen because #Filipinxrepresentation is so crucial!⁠ xoxo, Rissa & Zee Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/dirtynanay Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/dirtynanay Join our interactive private Facebook group (open only to Filipinx parents/caregivers/caregivers of Filipinx children): search "Dirty Nanay: Happy Hour" If you feel inspired and want to help with the success of our podcast, consider joining our Patreon page, become a monthly patron, and receive some fun benefits and rewards exclusively from us (www.patreon.com/DirtyNanay) If you want to show us some love, you may email us at dirtynanay@gmail.com And you can now leave us a voicemail/text message to show some love!

Guess who just turned one?! We are so excited to reach our first year mark! As we turn over a new year, we follow our mantra of grounding and growing and reflect on where we came from (delving into our different immigration stories and our unique and shared experiences) and where our show will be going. This episode is jam packed with some shout outs from previous episodes so if you hear a reference from an episode you've heard before, drink you dirty mother*! *Mother in the most inclusive sense xoxo, Rissa & Zee Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/dirtynanay Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/dirtynanay Join our interactive private Facebook group (open only to Filipinx parents/caregivers/caregivers of Filipinx children): search "Dirty Nanay: Happy Hour" If you feel inspired and want to help with the success of our podcast, consider joining our Patreon page, become a monthly patron, and receive some fun benefits and rewards exclusively from us (www.patreon.com/DirtyNanay) If you want to show us some love, you may email us at dirtynanay@gmail.com And you can now leave us a voicemail/text message to show some love!
