Hey, welcome back to Prey Alliance podcast.

This is Sarah.

Whitney.

Whitney's with us.

We are virtually together,

thanks to a very appropriate topic that we're going to cover.

In the title of this episode with me,

is, why is it so hard for moms to put our own oxygen mask on first.

Well, you and I have lived this for the what, the past week and a half, two weeks.

Yeah.

So my husband a week ago had his wisdom teeth taken out, was down for the count for several days after, and then naturally, Monday rolls around and my three-year-old wakes up with a 101.1 fever telling me her mouth hurts.

And it was strip because why wouldn't it be strip?

Why not? Why not? Why not? Y all overcame the stomach bug?

It was literally the same like minute I texted Whitney a picture of baby James

and she was like, I was texting you, and of her daughter.

And I was just like, what is happening?

I literally was like, what Whitney is occurring but this is not like a one-off in our lives and I know our listeners are probably like it seems the same for like you get into a routine perhaps and then it's a

Sporadic event the sickness is the work deadlines the family you know, we just recently had a death in our immediate

family as well and it just seems that moms can't take a break and that's why we can't put our auction mask on and I had to fly for the funeral recently and I paid attention to the statement right it's like case, right? Air mask are going to drop from the

ceiling. If you're traveling with a minor, what do they always say? Please put on your own

mask before helping them. And I thought to myself, have you thought about this when he, like, this happened, right? God help us all. This doesn't happen. Do you think you would put yours on or the girls on first? Like realistically, what would you do?

You know, I'm going to dive over anything and everything to put their mask on first.
