EP 147 :: The Reluctant Caregiver :: Joy Johnston

Gen Xers may have been saying “OK, Boomer” since the 80s, but now more and more find themselves taking care of their Boomer parents. Guest Joy Johnston – digital journalist, author, and caregiver advocate – was in her 30’s when her father was diagnosed with dementia. Her collection of essays, The Reluctant Caregiver, is a realistic, humorous, and inspiring look at the challenges of dealing with a family health crisis while juggling a career and a marriage. With a unique Gen X perspective, her writings are an inspiration for younger generations facing caregiving challenges.  Don't forget to subscribe, download, and review to share your thoughts about the show!
