“It takes a village — and you already belong to one.” Kinship grandmothers Jan Johnson and Stephanie Bressler Ratcliffe share heartfelt conversations about the people who make up their “village” — the family, friends, neighbors, support groups, and community members who help them navigate the joys and challenges of kinship caregiving.In this episode, Jan and Stephanie remind caregivers that asking for help is not weakness — it’s strength. Through personal stories, laughter, honesty, and encouragement, they explore the importance of connection, support, and knowing that no kinship caregiver has to walk this journey alone.Whether your village is large or small, this episode offers reassurance, understanding, and hope for anyone raising family members with love.
