Stuck in the Middle: The Weight of the Sandwich Generation

Sure! Here's a compelling podcast episode description for yourt

In this episode of The Romantic Truth Podcast, we explore the emotional, relational, and often invisible toll of being part of the sandwich generation—those in their late 20s to mid-50s who are caught between aging parents and their own adult or young children.

Many in this group find themselves juggling caregiving duties, financial obligations, and emotional support across two generations—often with little time left for themselves, let alone a romantic relationship. We’ll unpack how these responsibilities impact dating, marriage, intimacy, and personal freedom. From navigating burnout and guilt to dealing with partners who don’t understand the pressure, we’ll shed light on why love can feel like a luxury instead of a priority.

Whether you're deep in the struggle or love someone who is, this episode will give insight into the complex dynamics shaping modern relationships in an age of extended dependency and limited.
