Are you compromising in your relationship or are you settling? And how do you know where to draw the line?

In this episode of Primas Pero Not Really, Ayeisha and Yvette sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Luz Maria Berrio for an honest conversation about the relationship patterns we accept, the boundaries we struggle to set, and the lessons we sometimes learn the hard way.

They get into red flags vs. “pink flags,” sharing locations with your partner, trust vs. control, and the difference between accepting someone for who they are and ignoring something that may eventually become a dealbreaker.

But relationships are only the beginning.

The conversation turns to parenting and the patterns we pass down to our children: what they learn from watching our relationships, when parents need to acknowledge their own mistakes, and one of the hardest parenting decisions of all—when to step in and when to let your kids fall, learn, and figure things out for themselves.

Then comes another reality many women eventually face: raising children while watching their own parents get older.

From caregiving and aging parents to perimenopause, relationships, Hispanic family expectations, and the pressure of being the person everyone depends on, the Primas explore what it really means to become part of the sandwich generation.

Where's the line between what we should accept, what we can change, and what we finally need to let go of?

Funny, vulnerable, and very real, because sometimes saying “I'm fine” is a lot easier than admitting we need help.

🎧 Listen now and join the conversation.

What’s something you once considered a “pink flag” that eventually became a red flag?

Your child going off to college is exciting. But it also involves a much bigger emotional shift than people admit.

In this episode of Primas, Pero Not Really, we react to some of the wildest responses we received on social media, including the assumptions people make about women, single moms, dating, and the things they somehow hear in a 30-second clip that were never actually said.

Then we get into a much bigger life transition: sending our kids off to college. College looks completely different for this generation. From meeting roommates online before move-in day to navigating dorm life, meal plans, money, and the phone calls parents know are coming, we talk about the funny and emotional reality of letting your child start their next chapter.

Because while they are figuring out independence, parents are adjusting too. After years of being the dance mom, baseball mom, chauffeur, planner, and emergency contact, there comes a moment when you have to ask yourself: what do I like to do now?
