Caregiving Under 40 with Rebecca Dittrich

Rebecca Dittrich is a healthcare attorney, a former corporate executive, a death doula, a Daughterhood circle leader and Founder and CEO of The Reprise Project. After working professionally for years on issues related to Medicare, longterm care and senior living, her dad’s catastrophic stroke in 2021 turned all of those issues deeply personal. She’s since committed her career to supporting caregivers and fostering the honest intentional conversations that help families approach aging and dying with clarity, purpose, and connection. She is a millennial caregiver who lives in San Francisco with her husband and dad, and who will enter the sandwich generation in the fall of 2025 when she welcomes a baby girl.

In this episode, Becca shares what it’s really like to be a younger caregiver, navigating big responsibilities while your peers are living totally different lives. We talk about balancing caregiving with your own goals, building a support system, setting boundaries, having that conversation with your parents, and more. Whether you’re just starting out or have been caregiving for years, we share tools and insights that apply to every stage of the journey.
