"I finally found my purpose." - Adrienne Marioles

🎙️ Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver brings you another raw and relatable episode as hosts Natalie and JJ sit down with Adrienne Marioles, a millennial caregiver with a story that’s equal parts inspiring and real. Adrienne opens up about her leap from the hustle and bustle of New York City to the emotional rollercoaster of caring for her mom, who’s battling Parkinson’s disease.

Expect heartfelt confessions, a few laughs, and some seriously honest moments as Adrienne talks about the isolation, anxiety, and unexpected joys that come with caregiving. She gets real about how therapy and finding a supportive community helped her navigate the ups and downs of this journey.

Adrienne also shares her own experience of caregiving for her mom, touching on the emotional toll, anticipatory grief, and those tough decisions that no one prepares you for. Through it all, she shows how she turned her struggles into a mission to uplift and empower others in the caregiving world.

It’s a conversation full of warmth, wisdom, and a reminder that caregivers are never truly alone. 

Adrienne Glusman Marioles is the host of the Young Life Interrupted Podcast, the premier show dedicated to young caregivers. As a professional speaker and advocate for Millennial caregiving, Adrienne shares her personal journey as an only-child caregiver for her mother, Hetty, who lived with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) before passing away in 2020.

Adrienne’s story has been highlighted in the Wall Street Journal's article "The Call to Care for Aging Parents Comes Sooner Now," and featured on podcasts like Next Question with Katie Couric. Her experiences have also been covered in Health magazine, the Toronto Sun, Vox.com, and more.
