“Caregiving never ends. No, it never stops.” - Natalie and JJ 

Caregiving is a journey—full of love, lessons, and let’s be honest, a few laughs along the way. In this candid conversation, we dive into the realities of caregiving: navigating skilled nursing facilities, managing emotional and financial stress, and finding strength in community. We’re also sharing what’s in store for 2025 and beyond. Too good to miss!

💡 This episode is a reminder that you’re not alone—and that support, humor, and honest conversations make all the difference.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

  • Caregiving is tough—but also deeply rewarding.
  • Teamwork and community support are everything.
  • Humor helps lighten the load.
  • Advocacy matters—so do financial tools like qualified income trusts.
  • Self-care isn’t optional.
  • Your story matters—let’s share it.
