Episode 9
Thursday, 4 December, 2025
What does it mean to raise a family while also serving your country?In this episode of The Unaparent, Katia sits down with Senator Ruben Gallego and his wife, Sydney Gallego, for a conversation that goes far beyond politics. They talk candidly about the realities of parenting three young children while navigating the demands of public life.From breaking cycles of fatherhood to confronting the maternal health crisis, Senator Gallego shares how personal experiences have informed his legislative priorities—including the Dads Matter Act and postpartum Medicaid expansion. Sydney brings her own insights as a maternal health advocate and mother navigating the emotional terrain of postpartum identity and civic engagement.In a country where gun violence is rampant, childcare is out of reach for many, and parental support remains a luxury instead of a given, this episode serves as a welcome reminder that some elected officials are fighting to change that. It’s a reflection of how public service, at its best, begins at home. Because sometimes, being a good parent is one of the most radical and impactful forms of leadership.🌸 Topics covered:Fatherhood, masculinity & breaking generational cyclesMaternal health & postpartum policy in AmericaRaising kids in an era of gun violenceNavigating political life as a familyWhat gives them hope and what they’re fighting for🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.Don’t forget to FOLLOW the podcast on Instagram and TikTok.
