Hey, Filipino Momcast listeners! Welcome back to Season 2, Episode 8 on the Filipino Momcast!
If you are joining us for the first time, we are so happy you’re here! This little space in the podcast world that bravely opens up conversations around Filipino culture and generational narratives. We are three moms living here in America, in three different states, with completely different upbringings and experiences, and we’ve come together to share unapologetically our experiences of how we are deconstructing and navigating this challenging journey called life.
From parenting to everything in and around what you’d talk about with a group of close friends, we talk about here on the show to help other Filipinos and Filipino moms just like us.
In this episode, we are answering an email from a Filipino Momcast listener asking for some insight on how to Navigate Post-Pandemic Life.
Coming from a close knit family, this filipino mom was pregnant, a toddler in tow, and strictly adhering to quarantine protocol when she asked her parents if they could watch her first-born when she gave birth and if they could quarantine. She notes that the request for her parents to quarantine was tough. So she ended up asking a friend who was strictly quarantining to watch her child when she went into labor and didn’t tell her parents until after her son arrived. Asking them to quarantine after the baby was born, was just as difficult.
Her question then was this: “How can I navigate post pandemic life with all this resentment? Do i just give in and start coming around again?”
So, the three of us unpack the resentment that's built up in this episode. Let us know if this resonates with you. How have you been navigating situations like these? We would love to know!
If you found this conversation on Working On Co-Regulation helpful, it would mean the world to us if you could:
1) share the podcast with another Filipino mom (or honestly, anyone!)
2) post about the podcast through social media, and/or
3) leave us an honest 5 star review on whatever podcast platform you’re using to listen to us on.
Any of these not only validates the 3 of us that the work we’re doing here matters, but more importantly, it allows us the opportunity to reach one more soul that no longer has to feel like they’re the one person going through it, simply through your advocacy.
Let's jump into Season 2, Episode 8!
