Sandwich Generatopm Caregiving Tips.

In this episode of Doing it Best with Eldercare Success, we unpack the ultimate sandwich-generation caregiving experience. If you’ve been caught between caring for aging parents, in-laws, a spouse, your own kids, and even yourself, you’ll find this episode funny and of value.

Jennifer Hardy, podcast host of Fabulous Over 50, and I explore practical ways to manage those complex emotions and issues that arise in the caregiving journey, such as; successful ways to invite others to help you; learning to ask for help without being a nag; and managing the daunting tasks of caring for someone you’re not related to.  Finally, we share tips on self-care, both physically and emotionally.

This episode is a treasure trove of tips, ideas, and some laughs.

Those of you wearing multiple caregiving hats will find beauty in the struggle, strength in vulnerability, and the special sense of fulfillment that only comes from the caregiving experience.
