    Trailer: What Keeps You Up at Night?

    You are not falling behind. You are not doing it wrong. You are just trying to hold it all together in a system that wasn’t designed for you. If you’ve ever found yourself lying awake at night doing impossible math—balancing PTO, daycare pickups, camp registrations, doctor appointments, work deadlines, and taking meetings from the school pickup line —you know the feeling of the "care gap" that exists in the United States. But here is the truth nobody tells you: this isn’t a "you" problem. It’s a systems problem. Carrying Care is a podcast for anyone holding it together without a village, and for anyone ready to help build one. Hosted by MaK Wangsness, who has navigated these gaps from childhood to parenthood, this show digs into the policies shaping caregiving in America—leave, childcare, and workplace culture—and shares real stories of families living inside their impact. Whether you’re a parent, a caregiver for aging family members, or simply trying to navigate life in a system that often fails us, this space is for you. We’re moving beyond the burnout to explore what’s possible when we prioritize the people doing the caregiving.
