In this episode of Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver, JJ and Natalie chat with Dr. Jacob Kendall, who opens up about his life-changing experience as a caregiver after his father’s health crisis. It’s a conversation filled with heartfelt stories, relatable struggles, and powerful insights into the rollercoaster of caregiving.

Jacob shares what it’s really like to juggle the emotional and practical challenges of stepping into a caregiving role, all while trying to keep up with life’s other demands. Natalie, JJ and Jacob dive into the importance of family dynamics, planning ahead, and how multi-generational living might just be the future of caregiving.

This episode feels like a conversation with old friends as they tackle the messy, rewarding, and sometimes frustrating realities of caregiving. It’s packed with tips, hard-earned lessons, and a reminder that you’re not alone on this journey.
