EPS. 11 "The Sandwich Generation": The Struggle of Working Moms Caring for Kids and Aging Parents
Episode 11: “The Sandwich Generation”: The Struggle of of Working Moms Caring for Kids and Aging Parents
What happens when you're already overwhelmed by the demands of motherhood and your career, and then your aging parent needs help too?
In this episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I sit down with Lindsay Kratzer, the Owner and Founder of Reflections Management and Care and Reflections Memory Cafe. She's also a mom of two as well as an expert in dementia care and aging life management. With more than 20 years of experience, Lindsay helps older adults maintain independence while supporting families through the complex journey of aging.
Here we talk about the very real struggle of being part of, “The Sandwich Generation” - the increasingly common reality where moms are in the middle of caring for young children and elderly parents at the same time. Lindsay helps us understand how to support aging parents, how to catch the early signs of caregiver burnout, and why prioritizing their own self-care isn't only okay, but necessary.
