On this episode of "Into the Unknown" host Jeremy Swick sits down with Lexie Callies, a powerhouse caregiver, entrepreneur, and host of the Sandwich Stories podcast, for a conversation that’s equal parts raw, real, and radically relatable. From launching a nanny agency off two corkboard flyers to becoming a lifeline for both her aging mother and middle-school son, Lexie opens up about what it means to be the "meat" in the sandwich generation — and why strong-willed, educated women have more to give than titles suggest.
Lexie shares lessons from running two successful businesses, why volunteering still fuels her soul, and how she’s turning firsthand experience into practical, life-saving insights for families navigating elder care and estate planning. Whether you’re deep in caregiving, thinking about future decisions, or just trying to find your footing between generations, Lexie’s story will ground you, empower you, and remind you that knowing your worth — and standing in it — is a legacy all its own.
