Episode 9: Clawing My Way Back From a Cold

This week’s episode is brought to you by: congestion, exhaustion, and the desperate need for a nap. I’m clawing my way back from a head cold that didn’t knock me out entirely—but definitely made everything feel harder. And as a mom? Sick days don’t come with PTO. I talk about the emotional whiplash of trying to rest while the to-do list multiplies, the chaos that waits for you when you're “better,” and the unique hell of trying to get back in shape when your hormones and head colds are both working against you.Also—can we talk about the man-cold? Because the minute I say I’m sick, my husband’s symptoms magically appear…and they’re always worse. 🙄If you’ve ever tried to sneak a face mask in between sneezes and snack duty, this one’s for you.
