La Mesa con Papi
Welcome to La Mesa con Papi, I'm Stephanie Nemeroff. You may know me from my previous podcast, Boozy Love. This past year has transformed my life in incredible ways—I embraced marriage, and motherhood, and gained invaluable insights throughout this journey. Now, I'm thrilled to return to podcasting at this pivotal moment. After two enriching years of major life changes—welcoming our baby, getting married, and pivoting my career—I'm back with an exciting addition: my dad joins me as co-host. Together, we'll explore my adventures raising a spirited one-year-old alongside my wonderful husband, tackling the unique challenges and joys of young motherhood. I'm here to share not just my story, but to connect with others navigating parenthood in their twenties while building their lives. My dad brings his valuable perspective as an empty nester who's now embraced his role as Abuelo, offering time-tested wisdom while sharing his journey into the Golden Years.

Episode 14: ¿Salimos Bien? What It Means to Be ‘Okay’ in a Family That Survived So Much
In this episode of La Mesa con Papi, I sit down with both of my parents to talk about something that haunts a lot of first-gen kids:
Did we turn out okay?
And what does “okay” even mean when your parents raised you through survival, sacrifice, and silence?
We talk about expectations—spoken and unspoken. About what our parents hoped for us, and what we hoped they’d see in us. About the pressure to succeed, to behave, to be the “proof” that all their hard work was worth it. And about the quiet grief that comes with feeling like you can never fully repay the people who gave up everything for you.
It’s vulnerable, honest, and deeply needed.
