Jefas Y Mamás is my brand-new podcast series, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you!
As a first-time mom and the creator of Yo Quiero Dinero® , I’m navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood and entrepreneurship—and let me tell you, it’s a journey like no other.
This series is all about having real, unfiltered conversations on what it truly means to balance business, family, personal growth, and breaking generational cycles.
We’re tackling everything from mom guilt to building a strong support system and embracing work-life balance, because let’s be real—being a mompreneur isn’t easy, but we’re making it happen!
If you’re a jefa trying to figure out how to do it all on your own terms, this series is for you!
Episode 318 features return guest Sonia Alejandra Saunders. We’re chatting about why you shouldn’t make motherhood your whole personality. Listen now!
Sonia Alejandra Saunders is a sought-after speaker, coach, and the visionary founder behind Mujeròn Movement, a platform dedicated to helping Latinas embrace their purpose, own their power, and become the fullest expression of the Mujerón they’re meant to be.
Sonia’s journey began in the world of pageantry when she participated in Univision’s Nuestra Belleza Latina. While the experience opened doors, it also opened her eyes to a deeper issue—the lack of platforms that celebrated women for their stories, resilience, and purpose rather than their appearance. Fueled by that realization, Sonia made it her mission to shift the narrative.
What started as a desire to uplift women transformed into a powerful movement. Through Mujeròn Movement, Sonia has built a community-centered brand that brings Latinas together through in-person events, online programs, podcast conversations, and her signature mentorship program. Her work focuses on helping women overcome self-doubt, release limiting beliefs, and take bold action toward their dreams—whether in business, personal growth, or life transitions.
Sonia’s authentic approach and passion for storytelling have made her a trusted voice in the personal development space, especially among first-gen Latinas navigating identity, ambition, and healing. Her community continues to grow as she leads transformational spaces where women feel seen, heard, and empowered to define success on their own terms.
Whether she’s on stage, behind the mic, or coaching one-on-one, Sonia is committed to helping Latinas realize they are worthy of creating a life they love—without shrinking themselves in the process.
In this episode, Sonia opens up about what it’s really like to navigate motherhood and entrepreneurship at the same time. She talks about the highs, the struggles, and how she’s learned to find balance between both roles.
Sonia shares why building a strong support system matters, how setting boundaries has helped her grow, and the power of embracing every part of the journey.
She also dives into the unique challenges that Latina moms face—especially when it comes to breaking generational patterns of putting ourselves last. Her message to other women: don’t be afraid to ask for help, and never stop chasing what lights you up.
