Sending Her to School at 2: The Spiral, The Guilt & Facing Your Own Anxieties

Sending your little one to school at age two is supposed to feel like an exciting milestone, but what we didn't expect was for it to trigger an internal spiral. In this honest conversation, we discuss the emotional rollercoaster of preparing children for school, the confronting "mirror moments" that bring up old childhood anxieties, the conscious decisions to prevent projecting them, and the invisible weight mothers carry when letting go for the very first time. However, there is so much power in being Latina, and here we lean into our cultural strength while giving ourselves permission to be vulnerable, anxious, and deeply human.
