Adulthood in a city away from your family isn’t for the weak

Sheletta was intrigued by reading an article about caregiving killing careers by Marq Burnett (Associate Editor, The Playbook, The Business Journals). Sheletta shares her experience taking care of her elderly father-in-law for several years. Marq talks about the inspirations for the article and how perspective on the subject has shifted since the pandemic. They also talk about the disproportionate impact the caregiving role has on women and their participation in the workforce. Nancy Baldrica from Fraser stops by the show to tell Sheletta and the listeners about an upcoming (free) after hours event at the Minnesota Zoo for DreamNight! DreamNight is a designated event for children and adults with significant health care needs and disabilities. Nancy details some of the sensory friendly aids and activities that will be accessible for everyone.
