Sick? Or… upgrading? 

In a modern world, addicted to immediate relief or reprieve, it can feel a foreign concept to prioritise and honour our body's need for time and space when it comes to common, transient illnesses like colds and flu. 

QuantiMama Jodi spent three full days horizontal, tanked at 20% energy, feeling sick as sh!t and in full surrender. QuantiPapa McGill muscled through—favouring activity and fasting. Turns out, the upgrade comes whether you surrender or not. Underpinning the lot, though, is the inherrent belief system we have in our ability to self-heal.

This one's for the crunchy, the curious, and the mums still battling to “soldier on” through the mucous and soul fatigue.

  • Why we’ve forgotten how to rest (and what the body does when we finally do)
  • How kids rise when we drop the clipboard
  • Whether “catching a virus” is even a thing
  • What happens when you actually listen to your body

Whether your high vibe tonic is bone broth, terrain theory, fasting, frequency, or just more Netflix; QuantiMama Jodi and QuantiPapa McGill cover the scope with the added bonuses of witnessing unexpected delight of parenting through the upgrade, and why your cells aren’t older than your undies.

Here’s the kicker: Every seven years, your body regenerates entirely. So who’s still carrying the story of that dodgy shoulder or burnout from 2018? What if discomfort is just your body’s way of whispering: Oi, it’s time.

You’re not broken, you’re recalibrating. Just like Mother Nature, your body's wisdom is beautifully curated.
