What does it take to raise boys who respect women, contribute equally at home, and make wise choices? The answer may surprise you.
In this heart-stirring conversation, Mariana welcomes Iranda Chavez, mother of three grown sons, who bravely shares her journey through the challenges of boy-mom life. Kicking off the "She's Bold" series following Mariana's successful women's conference, this episode dives deep into the cultural expectations, faith foundations, and boundary-setting strategies that shaped Iranda's parenting approach.
"Boys will not be boys in my household," Iranda declares, recounting how she refused to accept the double standard many Hispanic families apply to sons versus daughters. Instead, she insisted her boys learn household skills, respect women, and understand accountability for their choices. Through personal stories—including her son's encounter with law enforcement after being in the wrong place with the wrong people—Iranda reveals the delicate balance between protection and allowing natural consequences to teach essential life lessons.
The conversation takes a powerful turn when Iranda discusses how faith transformed her family dynamics. After witnessing domestic abuse, she was determined her sons would learn to treat women with dignity and respect. This commitment, coupled with intentional prayer and consistent boundaries, eventually bore fruit as her sons matured and recognized the wisdom in her approach. "Now that they're older, they'll tell me 'Mom, I'm so glad you were on me about these certain things because you're right, not everyone's my friend.'"
Today, Iranda has transformed her parenting experiences into a podcast called "Boy Moms Overcoming Obstacles" and contributed to an upcoming book, "Hearts of a Mother." Her message for listeners facing parenting challenges: "If you're going through chaos right now, just hold on to that faith. Things will come to pass in the Lord's timing. Remain faithful and be still."
