Janella Salvador and Elisse Joson, two of the Philippines' most beloved actresses, open up about the challenges and joys of juggling parenting with demanding careers in the entertainment industry. In a recent interview, both stars shared their strategies for finding harmony between family life and work commitments.
"It's all about rhythm," says Janella, who recently welcomed her first child. "You have to learn to flow with the day and not fight it. Some days are chaotic, but you find your groove."
Elisse, a mother of two, echoes the sentiment. "I plan my schedule around my kids' needs. Work is important, but being present for them is my priority. I've learned to say no to projects that would take too much time away."
Both actresses emphasize the importance of a strong support system. Janella credits her partner, while Elisse relies on extended family and trusted helpers. They also stress the need for self-care, noting that taking time for themselves makes them better mothers and performers.
As they navigate the ups and downs of parenthood, Janella and Elisse inspire fellow working moms to find their own rhythm. Their message: it's okay to be imperfect, as long as you keep moving forward with love and intention.
