Do you worry that your Spanish isn’t “good enough” to pass down to your kids—or feel guilty when English starts taking over? In this episode, Janny sits down with Latina mom, author, award-winning filmmaker, and keynote speaker Denise Soler Cox to talk about the cultural rules, shame, and expectations that can shape how we see ourselves and what we pass down to our children.
You’ll hear how Denise grew up with Spanish as “the language of secrets,” why she stopped waiting for perfect Spanish and started teaching her daughters the 80% she knew, and how letting go of shame can change the way we see ourselves. They also explore Qué dirán, motherhood, self-worth, breaking generational cycles, and choosing what we want to carry forward.
What You’ll Learn
- Why you don’t need perfect Spanish to pass it down
- How shame can make us afraid to speak Spanish
- Why our worth isn’t defined by our fluency
- How our children learn from what we model
- How to choose what cultural traditions and expectations to pass forward
