À propos de cet audio
In this episode of Sandwiched, host Paul H. Richardson Jr. talks with Lauren Yankoff, a mother, business leader, and only child who found herself navigating the challenges of caring for her parents while raising a family and managing a demanding career.
Lauren shares her family’s journey through her father’s Parkinson’s diagnosis, her mother’s determination to care for him alone, and the difficult transitions that followed—from moving her parents across states to guiding them into assisted living. With honesty and compassion, she reflects on the role reversal that so many adult children face, and how love, communication, and boundaries became essential tools in preserving both care and connection.
Together, Paul and Lauren explore the realities of caregiving: the gaps in the healthcare system, the emotional cost of doing it all, and the lessons that come from learning when to step in—and when to let go.
Sandwiched is powered by Tumbleweed, bringing real conversations about caregiving, family, and the human side of resilience.
