When the doctor asked our mom what her favorite color was, she didn’t say blue, green, or pink. She said, “My daughter.”
So… apparently, I’m Mom’s favorite color.

Welcome to Episode 8 of This Is Your Brain on Mom — the podcast where two adult siblings try to make sense of life, love, and memory loss… with humor, heart, and a lot of chaos.

This week, it’s Barry’s turn to interview Wendy. What starts as a lighthearted sibling roast quickly turns into a real conversation about identity, humor, and what it means to be a caregiver long before you ever realize that’s what you’ve become.

We talk about:
🎙️ Who Wendy is besides being a caregiver
🎙️ Growing up as the youngest — and the “only child of the divorce era”
🎙️ Why grocery shopping with Mom was basically a love language
🎙️ Finding humor in frustration (and why Mom might be our favorite stand-up comic)
🎙️ How caregiving evolves, from teenage support to full-time manager
🎙️ And the one thing we’d want to tell Mom if she were fully herself again

Whether you’re caring for a parent with Alzheimer’s, navigating sibling dynamics, or just trying to laugh through the hard stuff — this episode reminds you that you’re not alone in this messy, beautiful, heartbreaking, hilarious journey.
