Podcasts by 68Spidrs - The Juggling Caregiver
The main focus will be on personal experiences, useful tips and information from a working single mother in her 50s, raising a high support autistic child. All while trying to provide caregiving (past and present), for two divorced parents in different stages of Alzheimer's and dementia. A balancing act that has been both joy-filled, and heartbreaking, but has taught me so much and helped me continue to grow as a person.
The podcast will have guests from time to time, providing great information, engaging conversation and bringing a fresh voice to the show.
