Parenting Up, Parenting Down is a podcast designed to support caregivers. The biggest growing population, the sandwich generation, are those who are caring for their growing children and their aging parents. Sometimes, all at once. This generation of individuals are feeling more stress than any other age group as they try to balance these responsibilities. The job is extreme, demanding, and can bring on conflicting emotions. So, pour yourself a cup of coffee, cozy up on the couch with a blanket and allow us to support you through this journey of laughter, hope, and reinvention. You are not alone.
