I had the most vulnerable and empowering conversation with Xochitl Carmona, founder of Werk Mija and host of the Werk Mija podcast. As a fellow Latina entrepreneur and now mami, Xochitl opened up about her "dramatica" entrance into motherhood, her NICU experience, and how she's intentionally redefining what it means to be a Latina mother while running a successful business. This conversation touched my heart because it reminded me why we need to keep sharing our stories - especially the ones our cultura has taught us to keep quiet about.For detailed show notes, visit vivalamami.com/episode138What You'll Hear:How Xochitl transitioned from solo entrepreneur to intentional mama business owner and the mindset shifts that came with new prioritiesHer raw and honest birth story - from a healthy pregnancy to an emergency C-section due to HELLP Syndrome and 48 days in the NICUWhy she decided to break the cultural silence around traumatic birth experiences and how vulnerability became her strengthThe challenges of being a NICU mama and how she's advocating for other families going through similar experiencesHer approach to redefining motherhood by leading with intention rather than following outdated expectationsResources Mentioned:Viva la Mami guest episodes featuring Latina moms sharing unexpected childbirth stories:Episode 4: A Loss Mami with Valeria CastilloEpisode 9: A NICU Mami with Gisela RodriguezEpisode 38: How a Bereaved Mami's Profession Became Her Passion with Anna CalixWays to Follow Xochitl:Werk Mija website: werkmija.comFollow @werkmija on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTokListen to the Werk Mija podcastShop Werk Mija products!Love this episode?

What's the point of PepsiCo's new sub-line of prebiotic colas? Is it addressing genuine consumer demand for functional ingredients, or just riding the wellness wave? The hosts once again weigh in. They also highlight emerging shot brands gaining traction and take a closer look at how the viral “WaterTok” phenomenon may have influenced Keurig Dr Pepper's acquisition of Dyla Brands. Show notes: 0:25: Take Two. Fun > Function. We Gotta Have More Ginger. Sturring The Pot. Thin Or Thick? Mike Takes A Hit. – The team kicks things off with behind-the-scenes banter, including a powdered drink spill mishap and Ray's failed frother. The hosts dive into PepsiCo's introduction of a prebiotic cola and debate its real consumer appeal, questioning whether health claims like “prebiotics” are more about marketing than meaningful function.

Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo is the daughter of Mexican immigrants and the author of Incantation: Love Poems for Battle Sites (Mouthfeel Press) and Posada: Offerings of Witness and Refuge (Sundress Publications). A former Steinbeck Fellow and Poets & Writers California Writers Exchange winner, she's received residencies from Hedgebrook, Ragdale, Yefe Nof, Jentel, and National Parks Arts Foundation in partnership with Gettysburg National Military Park and Poetry Foundation. Her poem “Battlegrounds” was featured at Academy of American Poets' Poem-a-Day, On Being's Poetry Unbound, and the anthology, Poetry Unbound: 50 Poems to Open Your World (W.W. Norton). Her poetry and essays can be found at Acentos Review, Huizache, LA Review of Books, The Offing, [Pank], Santa Fe Writers Project, and other journals. She is the director of Women Who Submit. Inspired by her Chicana identity, she works to cultivate love and comfort in chaotic times. At the heart of Incantation: Love Poems for Battle Sites (Mouthfeel Press 2023) lies an exploration of love in its many forms. Bermejo crafts poems that celebrate the enduring bonds of family, the unwavering strength of compassion, and the necessity for defiance. "Bermejo's Incantation do more than conjure hope for a vague future; they demand accountability and enact the healing we need now," writes award-winning author Carribean Fragoza. These poems dance like flames in rituals of resistance and resilience, casting light on paths that lead to a future unburdened by the chains of misogyny, white supremacy, and state-sanction violence.

We continue with our Top 25 Countdown! "Could you just be done being ambitious?" That was the question the Brooklyn native asked herself before she "blew up" her comfortable New York life to move to Iowa, pursue her MFA, and complete her first novel, which would become a New York Times Best-Seller, Olga Dies Dreaming. Follow Xochitl on Instagram @xochitlheg.

In the first hour of "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Oct. 14, 2024, we talk with Xochitl Gonzalez about her novel, “Olga Dies Dreaming.” It's this year's book for the annual Rochester Reads event.

Novelist and Atlantic staff writer Xochitl Gonzalez joins us to talk about her recent essay, a personal history about growing up with a mother who was largely absent from her life. Her mother, Andrea Gonzalez, joined the Socialist Workers Party as a young woman from Brooklyn, and devoted decades of her life to the cause and running for various political offices including vice president of the United States. As a child Gonzalez admired her mother, “My mother hadn't ditched me; she was working to save the world from the ravages of capitalism,” she writes in her piece. We'll talk with Gonzalez about coming to terms with her absent mother and what happens when a parent chooses political activism over their child. Guest: Xochitl Gonzalez, staff writer, The Atlantic; novelist, “To Save The World, My Mother Abandoned Me”
