Dear Mamacita,

Full disclosure: I am NOT here to get you to vote once way or the other.

You get enough of that elsewhere. 🤪

The conversation on this week's podcast is meant as a call for tolerance, acceptance and respect.

But this ain't no “kumbaya” episode either. Tolerance is not just about love. It's also about acquiring a certain level of maturity… the maturity to handle triggering conversations with poise and dignity.

Social media would have us think that things are either black or white (or in this case, since we are talking about politics: blue or red).

The political conversation has always been a complicated one… filled with controversy and disagreements.

At the same time, we can't shun away from the difficulty in it all. It is our duty to become informed and vote, express our opinions thru our vote and exercise our freedom.

So I invite you to listen to this week's podcast with an open mind.

Overcoming political differences and healing our political rifts requires us to dig deep into our reservoir of courage and compassion.

We are also called to practice validation, listen without judgment and not make assumptions.

I know this is easier said than done. Plus, I know these are not easy elections. Perhaps, this is the most divisive US election in our lifetime.

Regardless, I feel a responsibility to spread hope during these times. No matter the results next week, no matter the external chaos in the world, there is a way to maintain a peaceful attitude.

Heck, that's what self-improvement is all about.

As always, don't be a mama con drama. Let's be Mamas Con Ganas! 🇺🇸

Besitos, ❤️🤍💙

Valentina
