Sisters in the Sandwich: Caring for Parents with Dementia While Raising Kids with Nicole J. Smith

If you're in midlife, chances are you've found yourself part of the Sandwich Generation – the generation caring for both their kids and their parents. But things can get infinitely more complicated when one or more of your parents are diagnosed with dementia. This is a road that Nicole J. Smith has walked not once, but with three parents at once. In this episode of Butterfly Days, Tami Jorden interviews Nicole, a certified senior advisor, author, and advocate in the dementia and elder care planning space. Nicole shares practical ways to start conversations with parents about aging, the first steps to take after a dementia diagnosis, and how to help a friend who is a caregiver. This episode will give the encouragement you need to remember: you're not alone in caregiving. 🦋 Connect with Nicole J.
