Ever feel like you're parenting your kids and your parents at the same time? Welcome to the Sandwich Generation—where bedtime routines, snack negotiations, and epic eye-rolls happen on both ends of the family tree.

In this candid episode, we pull back the curtain on the hilarity and heartbreak of midlife caregiving:

The laugh-out-loud chaos of dropping Mom off at her respite class.

The emotional rollercoaster of dealing with parents' behaviors that feel way too familiar.

The eternal mealtime mystery: how do you convince an elderly parent to eat something besides toast?

Raw, relatable talk about why it's normal (and okay!) to feel frustrated.

You'll laugh, you might cry, and you'll definitely feel less alone in this wild season of life. Plus, we share simple, real-world strategies for keeping your own sanity intact—because self-care isn't selfish, it's survival.

So grab a cookie, settle in, and join us as we navigate parenting our parents with humor, honesty, and a whole lot of love.
