Caring for our aging parents isn't easy or fun or without its emotional ups and downs. Katie Williams, a former teacher and a stay-at-home mom, shares her raw and heartfelt journey in this episode of "Things You Learn in Therapy." Katie dives into the unexpected challenges and emotional tolls that come with being part of the "sandwich generation." From juggling the responsibilities of both parenting and caregiving to finding moments of joy on the dance floor, Katie's story is both relatable and inspiring. Her experiences shed light on the complexities of family dynamics and the importance of finding humor even in the most trying times.

The emotional, physical, and mental demands of caregiving are immense, but so is the importance of making our loved ones feel safe.  But amidst the heavy responsibilities, we emphasize the necessity of open communication, selfless service, and the power of laughter. Join us for practical advice, emotional support, and a shared reminder that "we can do hard things" together.
