    Caught between the laughter of my children and the wisdom of my aging mother, I felt the weight of the sandwich generation pressing down on my shoulders. If you've ever been torn between the needs of your kids and the care for your parents, this conversation is for you. In a gathering that's equal parts support group and strategy session, I open up about the tightrope walk of motherhood and eldercare. It's a journey filled with challenges, but one that doesn't have to be walked alone. Join us for candid discussions, heartfelt advice, and a community that gets it – because no one should have to navigate these waters solo.

    This episode is a toolkit for anyone riding the rollercoaster of caring for young ones while also attending to an elder. With practical tips on establishing self-care routines amidst the chaos, and strategies for injecting flexibility into your jam-packed week, we tackle the gritty details that come with this dual-role dance. We're not just sharing stories; we're building bridges to better balance, and crafting a life where joy can coexist with the demands of a generation caught in the middle. No guests, just real talk—because sometimes, the expert you need is the voice of experience whispering, "I've been there too."

    Are you in need of support navigating motherhood through all the highs and the lows? Is it impacting your ability to bond with our children? Then make sure to join our Mommy and Me Book Club today and start building wonderful and supportive connections with likeminded moms. Join today!
