In this deeply moving episode of And Now Love, Cynthia Marks sits down with married creatives Adria Marquez and Jesus Trejo as they navigate life with a newborn, personal caregiving experiences, and the emotional growth that comes with slowing down. Adria shares the complexities of postpartum identity, the pressure of balancing work and motherhood, and the quiet power of presence. Jesus reflects on caregiving for his aging parents and how laughter has become his bridge to healing and connection. Together, they explore how support, vulnerability, and humor keep love alive during the most tender life transitions. Cynthia brings the teachings of Dr. Bernard Bail into the fold, connecting the emotional experience of caregiving with the deep need to feel lovable and seen. From diapers to dreams, this episode offers a beautiful meditation on generational love, grief, identity, and the quiet revolutions that happen inside every parent and partner. It’s a conversation full of honesty, humility, and the reminder that love is not just a feeling — it’s a practice.
