In this episode, Mandy and Ignacio talk about the difficulties that sheltering in place has brought to their relationship. Digging into "motherhood", they reflect on their post-Mother's Day feelings and the complexities of being a survivor. They get vulnerable about their hurdles, and share their hopes for and insights into their parent-child dynamics. 

Pure Love Talks is a ground-breaking, heartfelt, and witty Youtube talk show where Ignacio Rivera & their daughter, Amanda Rivera, have honest, vulnerable, and intimate conversations about creating sustainable relationships with children, normalizing the sex talks, and shifting the culture of sexual abuse.
