The Grand Life: Wholehearted Grandparenting

S2E11: The Club Sandwich Generation


Listen Later

As lifespans increase and money gets tight, today's grandparents are caught in a "club sandwich"--layers of caregiving that go one generation back and two forwards. If you take care of your parents, your children, and you grands, then you're part of The Club Sandwich Generation. Emily and her guests talk about challenges and anxieties, impact on the extended family, and how to take care of yourself.

SHOW NOTES

Larry Lannan (in this episode with his wife Jane) has produced a podcast for four years focusing on public affairs in Fishers, Indiana at LarryInFishers.com. He's recently shifted focus to the arts and non-profits--so he can devote more time to his club sandwich.

DeeDee (@morethangrand on Facebook and Instagram) runs a website and blog full of great ideas on grandparenting at morethangrand.com
