Episode Eleven: The Sandwich Years

Holding Both with June Callahan · Nov 10, 2026 · 7m

June opens at two in the morning caught between a confused call from her mother and a quiet text from her son, then walks through the sandwich years — why your kids stop asking, one ritual care cannot eat, telling work the truth early and small, and the three-column triage list on the refrigerator. One act to protect a ritual this week, and the Question of the Day. You can hold their hand and hold on to your life.
