71 Surviving Sick Season as a Mom Without Burning Out with Dr. Mona Amin

Is sick season turning your house into a germy battleground—and your brain into mush?

If you’re barely holding it together between school call-outs, snot-covered toddlers, and the emotional weight of being the one who handles everything, this episode is for you. Sick season hits moms hard, and it’s not just the fevers—it’s the burnout, the decision fatigue, and the constant guilt.

That’s why I called in pediatrician and mom Dr. Mona Amin from PedsDocTalk to walk us through how to survive sick season as a mom without losing yourself in the process.

We’re talking:

• What red flags mean it’s time to keep your kid home—and what’s just a harmless runny nose
• How to navigate parenting while sick yourself, without guilt or burnout
• Practical strategies to reduce the mental load, protect vulnerable family members, and still find moments of peace

Whether you're deep in the flu season shuffle, managing sick kids back-to-back, or just trying to care for your family without abandoning yourself, this episode is your permission slip to rest, reset, and protect your peace.
