My Baby Wants to Go to Japan and I’m Not Okay

All about Nothing with J by Joanil Draper

Episode notes

When your baby says they want to go to Japan, you expect maybe a sushi dinner — not a 14-hour flight and a full-on identity crisis. In this episode, I share the hilarious, heartfelt, and slightly hormonal journey of realizing my 18-year-old is ready to see the world (and I am… still processing).

From Abuelita’s dramatic prayers to color-coded travel spreadsheets, I dive into what it really means to let your kids grow up, dream big, and fly far — even when your Puerto Rican Mami instincts are screaming “¡No tan lejos!”

It’s funny, it’s emotional, it’s chaos with cafecito — just another day on All About Nothing with J.

Special thank you to my sister JCT and my niece BMC they edited this episode and added the music to the background!
