In this episode of Let Me Call My Mom, my mom and I sit down for a cozy catch up that feels exactly like the phone calls you make when you are sick, overwhelmed, or just need comfort. We talk about starting the new year under less than ideal circumstances, including getting hit with the flu, head colds, congestion, and the reality of easing into January when your body is forcing you to slow down.

We chat about remedies, medications, and the confusion around taking cold medicine, along with the comfort foods and routines that actually help when you are not feeling your best. From chicken soup and pastina to the emotional side of being sick, this episode feels like a warm blanket and a cup of tea.

We also dive into lighthearted pop culture topics, including celebrity relationships, reality television, influencer culture, weddings, and sports. As always, the conversation is honest, funny, and unfiltered, touching on everything from social media pressure to aging, routines, and the comfort of familiar voices.
