Dirty Nanay: A Nod to the Unfiltered Filipino American Mother

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.

Maligayang Pasko (Merry Christmas in Tagalog), dirty nanays*! For this episode, we invited one of our favorite people to play a little game to (hopefully!) help fellow Filipinx folks who experience mixed feelings about going to a Filipinx party a little less alone. What's the game you ask? It's a frankenbaby of D&D and escape rooms where we play a protagonist who just really wants to get through a Filipinx party without losing her shit. If you like role playing games and escape rooms, boisterous Tita laughter, drunken decision making, and hearing what you wish you can say to toxic comments--- this episode is for you! * moms, dads, parents, titos, titas, caregiver, pamilya 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!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN and HAPPY FILIPINO AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH! This episode required a ton of liquid courage as we dive into the frightening world of Filipinx horror folklore! We talk about a couple of our favorite Filipinx monsters and analyze how folklore impacts our upbringing, how they play a role in our parenting, and of course, its association with coloniality!

Hello Dirty Nanays/Tatays/Titos/Titas/Mga Kapatid! We are so excited to be back after 3 months of family time, self-care, big transitions and [frightening] but memorable vacations that will leave a lasting impact. After a quick-ish update (that's a lie—it's not quick, but it's meaningful #qualityoverquantity), we dialogue about our experiences as Working Nanays, and trying to find ways that we don't lose ourselves in the rat race. Enjoy our long ass episode—we had a lot to say after 3 months of not seeing each other's faces! 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!

MaliGAYang Pride Month part dalawa!! We are still celebrating Pride month and we are super stoked to invite back a special guest! Can you guess who? We play a fun game that involves Vicks (cuz you know, Vicks fixes everything...) and we get to spend time with a special Tita! We like to celebrate the creative Filipinx LGBTQ+ artists and celebrate their stories because narratives of color need to be amplified. 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!

MaliGAYang Pride Month!! In this episode, the nanays sit cozy with their drinks in a space filled with warmth, laughter, and honesty as their special guest Ti, helps them create an environment that facilitates their dialogue about coloniality's impact on living authentically as a queer Filipinx.

May was a big month! We had Mother's Day on May 9, AAPI Heritage Month, and Mental Health Awareness Month, and we had one opportunity to make an episode, so instead of a couple of episodes, you get one long ass episode where we address ALL of this. This Halo Halo Episode is filled with tearful storytelling, and boisterous Tita laughter as Rissa and Zee invite one of their friends, Jen, to some heart to heart dialogue followed by a drinking game. We celebrate the averageness of being Dirty Nanays, because , at the end of the day, Nanays (in the most inclusive meaning—that means you too, our nonbinary cousins, adoptive parents, etc.) are extraordinary people. 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!

Yes, we are a week late (and no, this doesn't have anything to do with a pregnancy reference). WE HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING!! Not only are we exhausted as social justice workers and Filipinx parents, we literally have no answers on how to address the rise in Asian hate crimes and supporting our Black Community because we are dealing with our own stress and emotions when it comes to holding space for ourselves, for our family, and for our BIPOC community. So, let's address the elephant in the room! We have a candid conversation on what has been weighing on our minds and on our hearts and find inspiration on Native American/Indigenous people's concept of a healing circle. I hope this conversation resonates with all of you. 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!

YO! WE HAVE BEEN IN QUARANTINE MODE FOR 1 YEAR! Here are some direct quotes from Rissa and Zee: "This was supposed to be 6 weeks!" "We will be done by Easter..."... Remember that?! Well, this episode is a nod to our fellow Filipinx parents (and all parents/guardians out there) that had to parent and DID THE DAMN THING during the pandemic. Is it worth a "HAPPY QUARANTINE ANNIVERSARY"? We think of who we were prior to the pandemic and who we have become during this pandemic. This was a difficult year for everyone, especially with all the social justice issues that have occurred. We witnessed a rise of protests for #BlackLivesMatter and #StopAsianHate... it was an exhausting year! Cheers to continuing the fight on social justice and being caregivers of the next generation! And because we are being real, apologies for Zee's sniffling and the echoing from Rissa's wonky mic. 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).

Welcome to Part 2 of our discussion on parenting Filipinx kids! We talked for over 2 hours and felt this episode would be great in smaller increments (you know... a lot to process and reflect). In this particular episode, we continue to examine which Filipino parenting traits we would like like to keep/toss as we navigate our own parenting styles and we also call bullsh*t on White parenting techniques. This episode made us realize that navigating parenting as a Filipinx American caregiver is supeeerrrrrr complicated!!!! AHHHH!!! If you know of any BIPOC parenting IG accounts, please let us know! Apparently we need more BIPOC parenting voices on our IG feed. OOH!

Welcome to Part 1 of our discussion on parenting Filipinx kids! We talked for over 2 hours and felt this episode would be great in smaller increments (you know... a lot to process and reflect). We challenged ourselves to enumerate the different parenting traits that we have encountered being children of Filipino parents (in one minute) and find that it was hard as shit!

This episode is a nod to our non-Filipinx partners. After all, they are part of our children's lives. We reflect on our adolescent crushes and share our "celebrity free pass" all while analyzing the cultural differences we encounter as partners to non-Filipinx folks--- such as courting rituals and how we address our in-laws. We also laugh at our cluelessness when it comes to dating in 2021 (Do you swipe left?! Swipe right?! Do you even have a conversation with folks if you want to connect?!).

One of them is a Steve Kornacki (@steve01450) fan. Can you guess which guest is obsessed with him?

Ano (what)?! A bonus episode?! Well, look it here, a quick (jk not so quick) and dirty episode just for you! This mini (not so mini) episode follows Episode 2 as we answer intriguing questions our listeners posed regarding how white supremacy pops its oppressive head in our healing journey and in developing this project, and, ultimately, how we combat it on a daily basis.

You made it to our second episode!!! YAAAAAAY!!! It is a Friday evening and we are happy to kick back, relax, take a shot, and get dirty--- once the kids are asleep. We dive head and heart into the obstacles we face when it comes to healing from generational trauma and colonialism and have a candid conversation thanks to liquid courage. As we set the foundation for our future episodes, we realize that we have a ton of emotional unpacking to do. We ask ourselves: What obstacles are we running into when it comes to breaking the cycle of generational trauma that was created by colonialism?  Pull up a chair, get contemplative with us, and let's have a virtual happy hour. We may throw in a couple nerd references if you're lucky. xoxo, Rissa & Zee  Follow us on Instagram: @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).

YAY! We created our first episode!!! WHAT WHAAAAATTT?!?!?! We kick off this episode just like how we will kick off all our future episodes--- kids are asleep, we pop the bottles, and our mama lenses are off! We become "dirty nanays" and you get the unfiltered/after hours version of us. We share stories of growing up in a Filipino household and play a drinking game a la "Game of Thrones" style. Trust us when we say that we wanted to talk about EVERYTHING in this episode. We are merely scrubbing the surface. *wink wink* We have our drink in hand and hope you have yours too.
