Episode 19 features one of the very first Hawaii residents to become infected with the coronavirus: 34-year-old Sarah Bolles of Salt Lake. Bolles spent three weeks on a ventilator in a medically-induced coma and is believed to have been Hawaii's 19th case of coronavirus.

This week on 'Muthaship,' we hear first-hand from an ICU doctor, an internal medicine doctor and two pediatricians about the seriousness of the COVID crisis in our state. From a parent’s perspective, they also share their concerns about how easily the virus is transmitted, what the signs of a COVID-infected child are, and what we can do to strengthen our immune system to help safeguard against the virus.

It’s an episode packed with lots of useful information to (hopefully) help ease your anxiety about this new norm.

This week on ‘Muthaship’ we hear from teachers who are parents, including an award-winning educator at Waipahu High School and a teacher who is expecting her second child.

They share how they’re doing their best to prepare classrooms with what supplies they have, how they're using their own money to buy some of the necessities, and their greatest fears about going back to school — including the prospect of bringing the virus home to their families.

Together, they link up with Steph, Noli and Brooke to talk about how the community can show support for educators during this uncertain time of schooling.

More parents are considering homeschooling versus sending their kids back to school in the middle of the pandemic... But where do you start?

On this week's episode of 'Muthaship,' three homeschooling moms have those answers and more for families considering making the switch.

Classrooms across the state will look a lot different as kids head back to school in a couple weeks. As parents receive their school's reopening plans, the muthas join other moms in a conversation about their thoughts and concerns heading into this new normal — plus, they spill the beans on where they're shopping for the best back to school deals.
