Sandwich Parenting

Sandwich Parents are ‘sandwiched’ between two generations, the one that raised us and the one we are raising. In order to be the parents we want to be, we have to work on the 'me' in parenting. We invite guests from around the world who share their journeys and advice on how to navigate this delicate balance. The Sandwich Parenting podcast is hosted by trauma-trained parenting coach Sherry Yuan Hunter. Learn more about Sherry at www.sherryyuanhunter.com. Produced by William Hunter and Mayra Willis | Music: "Farm" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)
