What this episode covers
In this heartfelt and deeply human conversation, Kim Groshek is joined by Candy Leigh to explore one of the most universal—and often unspoken—realities of life: caring for aging parents. The two women share vulnerable stories about their 80-something-year-old parents, navigating difficult medical diagnoses, the slow erosion of independence, and the emotional toll of role reversals. Together, they reflect on how to support aging loved ones while honoring their autonomy, and how these experiences shift our perspectives on life, control, and mortality. This episode will resonate with anyone grappling with the complexities of watching parents grow older while trying to stay grounded in their own lives.
