Are you in the position where you're not just a son or daughter anymore, but also a caregiver to your parents? This is something I’m going through myself right now, and I know how overwhelming it can feel.
In this episode I explore what this generational role reversal really means and why it happens. I also share my own experience navigating this journey, which, to be honest, I’m still figuring out.
Listen to discover:
- Understanding why our roles change with our parents as they age.
- How to manage the emotional rollercoaster that comes with caregiving.
- The impact on family dynamics and relationships, especially with siblings.
- Practical tips for managing your own well-being, and finding support.
Whether you’re already in this role or seeing it on the horizon, this episode offers insights and advice to help you navigate this space with empathy, patience, and strength.
If after listening, you feel you need extra support, my team and I are always here to help you navigate these challenges. Feel free to book in a FREE 15 minute chat to discuss how we can support you.
