"Generación Sándwich" Entre Soltar a Nuestros Hijos y Cuidar a Nuestros Padres
37 Plays3 days ago
En este episodio, quiero validar la pesadez y las emociones encontradas que trae esta encrucijada. Hablamos sobre cómo nuestros roles cambian drásticamente: pasamos de ser los "managers" de nuestros hijos a ser sus consejeros, y al mismo tiempo, nos convertimos en los cuidadores de nuestros padres. Es un proceso lleno de duelo por la dinámica familiar que conocíamos.
Si te sientes abrumado tratando de estar en dos lugares a la vez, este episodio es para ti. Te comparto mis reflexiones sobre el mito del "balance" perfecto y tres herramientas fundamentales para sobrevivir esta etapa sin volverte loco: priorizar tu autocuidado (ponerse la máscara de oxígeno primero), soltar la culpa y apoyarte en tu comunidad.
Quiero que sepas que te veo, te entiendo, y estás haciendo un trabajo increíble sosteniendo ambas partes de tu mundo. ¡Date mucha gracia y paciencia.

Speaker
Ahora, la otra parte del pedazo aquí del sándwich, es la parte de nuestros padres. Mientras estamos soltando a nuestros hijos, de repente miramos hacia arriba y ahora...
00:11:25
Speaker
Pero mi papi sigue con nosotros. Ninguno de cerca a donde vive mi papá. So it's something that we also have to look and grandparents live in Colombia, we are here in the United States.
00:11:45

ita And it's super difficult to feel that one wants to be there more to help them move on to this new stage them and collaborate. But at same time one is also caught up because he still is
