209. Mothers in the Field: Covering Tragedy with Heart

In this heartfelt episode, host Pamela Silva sits down with Sheli Muñiz, NBC6 news anchor and fellow mother, for a powerful conversation about what it means to be both a journalist and a mom in today’s world. Together, they reflect on how motherhood has reshaped the way they cover some of the most difficult stories—tragedies like the Parkland school shooting and the recent heartbreaking incident at Camp Mystic in Texas. They open up about the emotional weight of reporting on loss, the balancing act of staying professional while processing human grief, and how their roles as mothers bring deeper empathy—and sometimes personal pain—to the stories they share with the world.
