Chaundy’s story is all too common as many other midlifers find themselves entering their sandwich era, where they are essentially “sandwiched” in between caregiving for their aging parents and still raising their own children. This episode will make you think about all the things you don’t know you need to know when it comes to caring for mama or daddy, when they can no longer take care of themselves.

Being a caregiver is not easy as a child. You must become a parent and still respect your parent and deal with new personality. You can get burnout
It is such a unique and delicate dichotomy. You are so on point.
I’m at the burnout stage now. A nurse comes to the house but she does is check blood pressure, blood oxygen.
I'm glad this sister is doing this service because it's needed. I was a health advocate and care giver to my parents until their deaths but had I not been employed in the healthcare field I'm sure I would have needed this type of help. This is a great show of substance. Love the show
Great episode! Thank you for this conversation and information.
Thanks for checking it out! Hope the information is helpful.
An algorithm must be real. Because I literally got my mother out of rehab from a fall just yesterday. I've never looked on CZcams for anything about this, but this happened to just pop-up in my feed and to God be the glory for this popping up. I needed to see this and I SO appreciate the content. I just subscribed.
You know they’re listening! I’m packing up my mother’s apartment right now and this showed up in my feed.
Yep the algorithm is doing it thing! Hope the message reached you in time.
What she's doing so much needed ‼️ Wow, this is my testimony I'm currently living this Life. 😢 I definitely will check out website.
Yes, check her out and get the support you need.
Thank you, thank you!
My God, I needed to hear this conversation because the majority of us don’t think that far. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for letting us know it was helpful. We need to have more of these conversations about mom and dad.
Thank you so much for this. I just moved back to my home state after 28 years to move my mom in with me. The new adventure begins in three days and I’m so nervous about what the balancing act will look like when it comes to giving her a good life and maintaining my professional responsibilities.
Hoping the transition is a smooth one for both of you. Sending you a virtual hug.🤗
So very proud of all you have done and continue to do. Keep blessing us all!!!❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
It’s great to see this episode and I am preparing myself and definitely helping my parents. Thank U
Glad this information was helpful.
Depending on the state of residency you may want to consider a Trust versus a Will. In Georgia, a Will filed with their County Probate Court is fine as long as all assets are in Georgia. In Texas, if you have all assets in Texas or other states, then you need to have a Trust, Power of Attorney, and Advance Health Care Directive.
Oh good information! Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for this podcast episode.
Glad you enjoyed it!
