Click here to send us a quick message!! We want to hear from YOU!

Feeling crushed in the middle? You’re not alone. Nearly 1 in 4 adults—especially Gen X women—are in the sandwich generation, juggling kids and aging parents, with 60% of the load falling on women. We’re living our own version of this and sharing unique, real-time experiences on what it’s really like to navigate this stage of life.

From the emotional toll of declining health in older relatives to the challenges of supporting kids at any age, this episode offers connection, encouragement, and small wins to help you breathe a little easier.

💡 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why this part of midlife season feels heavier than expected
• How our parents’ health choices impact the entire family
• The emotional push-pull of supporting adult kids (or raising younger ones)
• The toll this chapter takes on marriages, friendships, and careers
• Ways we’ve found small wins to stay grounded
• Encouragement for every woman feeling like she’s falling short
