In this episode of our WCNFluencer podcast, host Christopher MacLellan visits with Jennie Dopp, who is the Director of CaringTide, a professional disability planning organization. Jennie is also a caregiver and a mother to a young adult son with multiple disabilities. Jennie has almost 2 decades of experience working in advocacy and developing resources and tools for caregivers. Jennie's latest endeavor is to assist families with one of the heaviest questions they carry, "Who will care for my loved one when I am no longer able to do so?"

Throughout the episode, Jennie and Chris discuss the importance of caregiving for children with disabilities and the challenges caregivers face. Jennie shares her personal experience as a caregiver for her son with multiple disabilities and the impact it has had on her family. They also talk about the services Caring Tide provides, including financial planning, legal support, and resources for caregivers.
