    Love, Caregiving & the Crisis We Don’t Want to See

    Caregiving is often called a labor of love. But what happens when love collides with a broken system? In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Victoria speaks with Laura Mauldin, PhD, author of In Sickness and in Health: Love Stories from the Front Lines of America’s Caregiving Crisis. Together, they explore the intimate realities of disability, partnership, policy failure, ableism, and what it truly means to love someone when bodies change. This episode is about story because story is how we understand one another, and how we begin to change the world. _____________________________________________________________________________ About Our Guest In Sickness and in Health Laura Mauldin Laura Mauldin is a sociologist whose work focuses on disability, caregiving, and health inequities. In her 20s, she became a caregiver to her partner after a traumatic brain injury — an experience that profoundly shaped both her life and her scholarship.
