Getting to midlife means the people we love are aging too. Caregiving for aging parents (or loved ones tackling major illnesses) can take a toll on your physical and mental health, career, and personal life. In this week's episode, Katie delves into the complexities of caregiving with renowned clinical psychologist Dr. Allison Applebaum, author of "Stand By Me." As the founder of the nation's first Caregivers Clinic and a former caregiver, Dr. Applebaum understands the intensity of being an unpaid, untrained family caregiver. Discover how to navigate difficult conversations, prioritize self-care, and find resilience in grief and adversity. We also explore the beauty of caregiving and the importance of advocating for your care partner's humanity in a bureaucratic healthcare system. Don't miss this essential episode for support and guidance.
