About this episode

This one's personal. I'm not recognizing my body after having two kids... and I still believe everything I've said about your body being amazing for what it did to bring your kids into the world. Both things are true: gratitude, and room for improvement.In this episode: the energy that's more than "mom tired," why nutrition keeps sliding to the bottom of the list con el horario tan loco, and the moment I caught myself moving to the back for pictures instead of being in them.I'm also talking about watching my parents get older, their mobility, their energy and that immigrant hard-working mindset that never modeled rest. Not a criticism of them. Just a pattern I don't want to hand down without meaning to.No tengo todo resuelto. But I'm being intentional, moving my body because it feels good, catching up with amigas on walks instead of over food, and letting my kids see health as normal instead of earned.If you're in your own in-between version of this, watching your parents age, feeling different in your body, not able to keep up the way you used to, you're not alone. You're just noticing. 📲 Follow along @momlifejuntas
