Caught in the Middle: Sandwiched and Stressed!

Ever feel like you're caught in a generational tug-of-war? In this chat, we dive into the world of the "sandwich generation" - those of us juggling the care of both kids and parents. From tearful shower moments to the bittersweet joy of watching our spouses age alongside us, we explore the rollercoaster of emotions that come with this midlife balancing act. Join us as we share laughs, tears, and honest reflections on how we're navigating this complex stage of life. This isn’t a how-to guide, just real talk about the messy, beautiful reality of being sandwiched between generations.

In this episode, we talk about the following:
1. The challenges of being in the sandwich generation, caring for both children and aging parents.
2. How family dynamics change as our kids grow up and our parents get older.
3. The importance of self-care while balancing family responsibilities.
