Do You 'owe' Aging Parents Care? w/ Elizabeth Miller | The Caregivers Podcast Episode 22

In this episode of The Caregivers Podcast, Dr. Mark Ropeleski sits down with Elizabeth Miller, founder of Happy Healthy Caregiver, to tackle the question nobody wants to say out loud: When parents age and need care, what do their adult children actually owe them? As a veteran podcaster and sandwich generation caregiver, Elizabeth shares the raw reality of balancing a career and children while managing the declining health of aging parents. We discuss the mudslide of caregiving, the difference between being a caregiver and a care partner, and how to handle the burnout that comes with the impossible squeeze of the sandwich generation.
