Dealing with Sick Kids and Balancing It All

This Wasn't in the Manual

Every parent knows the drill, just when you're finding your rhythm, the sniffles, fevers, and sleepless nights hit. In this episode, Juliana and Nathaly open up about the reality of caring for sick little ones while still trying to juggle work, home, relationships, and self-care.

From the emotional toll of seeing your child unwell to the logistics of rearranging schedules, we share out personal stories, the chaos behind the scenes, and the small strategies that keep us going. You'll hear about:

• The guilt and pressure parents feel when life can't pause
• How to manage work responsibilities when kids need you most
• Ways to prioritize your own health while caregiving
• Reminders that it's okay to ask for help (and say no!)

Whether you're in the thick of it right now or just want to feel seen and supported, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone.

Tune in for an honest, unfiltered (and emotional) conversation about motherhood in the messiest seasons.
