     In this engaging conversation, Sarah and Jen explore the complexities of navigating life as middle-aged individuals caring for both aging parents and young children, a phenomenon they refer to as the 'generation sandwich.' They reflect on their own experiences, the challenges of health and family dynamics, and the importance of planning for the future. The discussion also touches on the significance of maintaining health and building support systems within the community to manage the pressures of this life stage.
