S4E21 What is Kin Keeping and are you doing it?

This week I bring on a couple guests and we talk about "Kin Keeping". Have you ever heard of this term before?  This is where I first hear it, but of couse I have been LIVING it my entire adult life. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRTKpuP1/ here are the Pros and Cons ChatGBT created for this episode. Pros: Increased sense of family connectedness and community. Facilitation of family communication and problem-solving. Opportunity for women to play a central role in family decision-making. Promotion of intergenerational relationships and knowledge sharing. Development of emotional intelligence and empathy through caretaking activities. Cons: Emotional burden and stress associated with caretaking responsibilities. Risk of burnout and neglect of personal needs. Social pressure to prioritize family obligations over personal aspirations. Limited recognition or appreciation for kin keeping work. Gendered expectations that women should be the primary caretakers, which can perpetuate gender inequality. And here is Lymari's Instagram link.
