Vivatude launches as a powerful new podcast created especially for sandwich generation women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who are balancing careers, family, and the growing responsibility of caregiving for aging parents. In this debut episode, co-host Kate Phillips shares eye-opening statistics that reveal just how widespread—and underserved—this caregiving population truly is. With millions of women spending thousands of dollars out of pocket each year and facing career disruption, burnout, and emotional strain, Vivatude steps in with a fresh mission: not to dwell on the problem, but to offer real solutions, hope, and a path forward.

Kate is joined by Suzanne Newman, founder of the nationally recognized Answers for Elders podcast network, who shares why she is launching Vivatude as its next-generation “sister” show. Suzanne opens up about her own deeply personal caregiving journey with her mother and how that experience reshaped her career, finances, and sense of purpose. Together, Kate and Suzanne explore the often invisible toll caregiving takes on both employees and self-employed women—and why so many caregivers feel isolated, overwhelmed, and unsure where to begin.

This episode also delivers practical guidance and inspiration, including tips for caregivers to survive and thrive, an introduction to Vivatude’s Eight Principles of Wellness, and a look at opportunities for mission-aligned sponsors who want to support this growing audience. Vivatude is for women who refuse to lose themselves while caring for others—and who are ready to reclaim joy, purpose, prosperity, and well-being in their next chapter. If you are a caregiver, advocate, or woman over 40 asking “what’s next for me?”, this podcast was created for you.
