Uptown Mamis is a bilingual lifestyle and motherhood podcast redefining what it means to be a modern Latina mom, ambitious, grounded, and evolving.
We create honest conversations for women balancing motherhood, identity, and ambition , from the boardroom to the block, from the carpool line to creative dreams.
Rooted in Dominican culture and sisterhood, we bridge the gap between who we were before kids and who we’re becoming now.
"How Motherhood Changed Her Career — Twice: From Therapist to Mami and Now Making the Pivot Back" Guest: Rosdaly Ramirez, Therapist, Mom of 3, Babywearing Advocate
What happens when you leave the career you trained for to build something of your own, while raising kids and carrying your family’s expectations? In this episode, we sit down with Rosaly Ramirez, who pivoted from therapy to content creation in the middle of motherhood.
Rosaly opens up about the real cost of entrepreneurship, from the sacrifices and the mental load to the cultural pressure of doing things differently from the generations before her. We talk about breaking generational cycles, redefining success, and why showing our kids our imperfections might be one of the best things we can do as parents.
Most of all, this is a conversation about community: why asking for help is not a burden, how vulnerability builds real friendships, and practical ways to create the village every mom deserves. If you’ve ever felt like you have to do it all alone, this one is for you. 💛

We’re back with a season recap and a lot to catch up on! This episode starts with our recent trips to Phoenix and Austin and the travel hacks that keep us sane: racking up miles, loyalty programs, TSA PreCheck, CLEAR, and more. Then we take you to Japan, a trip that felt like a true peaceful escape, and talk about the cultural differences that stuck with us, from how communities care for their environment to how people show up for each other.
That leads into a real conversation about parenting in today’s fast-paced world: keeping kids safe, education, open communication, setting boundaries, and raising respectful kids with strong values. We close it out talking about self-care, leaning on your community, and what’s coming next for us.
Grab your coffee (or your wine) and join us. 💛
