Caregiving Expert Liz O’Donnell on Caring for Aging Parents While Making a Living (and Having a Life)

A Certain Age

Sandwiched! Today’s show dives into how to care for aging parents while balancing the needs of career, family, and life. Caregiving Expert Liz O’Donnell, author of “Working Daughter: A Guide to Caring for Your Aging Parents While Making a Living” and founder of Working Daughter, a community for women navigating eldercare, joins me to share real-world practical caregiving tools. We get into the nitty-gritty—how to have hard conversations with your parents, navigating sibling dynamics, what to know about “caregiving creep,” and what to share (and not share) with your workplace. Bonus! We cover the #1 thing Liz thinks all caregivers should do to protect their energy and sanity.
