Mind What Matters

The Millennial Caregiver: Love, Loss, and the Fight for Better Support with Rachel Loeb


Listen Later

When Rachel Loeb’s father was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s at 58, she became a caregiver overnight—and realized just how little support existed for young people in her shoes. In this powerful conversation, Rachel joins hosts Elizabeth Humphreys and Nikki DeLoach to talk about her book The Millennial Caregiver, the gaps in our healthcare system, and the emotional realities of caregiving in your 30s.

Together, they discuss the emotional and logistical weight of caregiving, the often dismissive attitude of the medical system, and the real need for empathy, better resources, and community. This is a powerful conversation about how caregiving reshapes identity, family dynamics, and what it means to show up with love—especially when the world isn’t quite ready to meet you there. Whether you’re a millennial caregiver or someone walking alongside one, this episode offers insight, compassion, and solidarity.
