Today on Motherish, we’re honored to share the story of Maria Aleandra—a woman whose strength, resilience, and deep love are nothing short of inspiring. As a full-time caretaker to both her young child and her husband, who is living with ALS, Maria opens up about what it means to hold a family together through unimaginable challenges.

This conversation is raw, moving, and full of truth. We talk about the emotional toll of caregiving, the quiet sacrifices, the unexpected moments of grace, and how she continues to find light even in the darkest seasons. It’s a powerful reminder that motherhood isn’t always soft and sweet—it’s often fierce, messy, and deeply rooted in love.
