The Sandwich Generation, Part 2, Episode 290

On this episode of the Level Up Latina Podcast, we dive into Part 2 of an important and deeply personal topic: The Sandwich Generation.

A thoughtful listener asked us to revisit what it means to be part of this generation—caught in the middle of raising children while also caring for aging parents. It’s a challenging season of life, especially for first-gen Latinas navigating the responsibilities of motherhood alongside supporting parents who may face language barriers, cultural differences, or limited access to healthcare and financial systems.

We open up about our own journeys, the pressures and rewards of this phase, and how we lean on one another to grow into better mothers and daughters. Tune in as we share insights, lessons learned, and practical advice for anyone living this delicate balancing act.
