Call Your Sister
Call Your Sister is a podcast for related and unrelated sisters or CYS everywhere co-hosted by Alexandra Hodge and Astrid Ferguson. Every week, Alex and Astrid call each other to discuss the complexities of motherhood, sisterhood, identity struggles, dating as a single mother, sex and much more. We’re real Latinx sisters who are fiercely opinionated, and not afraid to realtalk each other about everything from (men)strual cycles and body shaming to the Platanos versus Yuccas debates and current identity life drama. We highlight women who are both trying to keep it together and got it all figured out. We also care deeply about the lived experiences of BIPOC and Lantinx women who are just trying to get through the week. We’re here for every facet of women’s humanity because we are a community, a nation of CYS everywhere.

Experiencing mom complex with a tinge of guilt?
In this episode sisters Alexandra and Astrid discuss what is the mom complex and how it compares to mom guilt. Hint: they are not discussing the mom complex referring to dating terms. Many know the mom complex when it refers to a guy dating females who mirror traits of his mother. We are talking about the mom complex as it relates to care vs. loving your children.
Big sister, Astrid Ferguson discusses a conversation she was recently in and the shameful thoughts that came up for working moms who are also breadwinners. Some of these households also relate to stay at home dads. The unnatural conversation that transpire when mom's feel guilt when it relates to hiring others to fulfill mom duties many don't particular enjoy. The shaming guilt behind not budgeting for a nanny for instance as a mothers career progressive and how many of us confuse care for love.
This is a very untraditional episode as the navigation of the very serious yet taboo topics surrounding mom complex also sometimes referred to as mom guilt.
