That's the limit!

What happens when care becomes too much? In this episode, Professor Janna Klostermann talks about her new book At the Limits of Care. She tells host Dr. Sally Chivers what she learned from women who’ve stepped back from care work. Find out what their exits reveal about the structures that shape our lives, especially as we grow old. We talk about why quitting care feels like failure, how seeing care as a moral calling can isolate women, and how setting boundaries could lead to better care for workers and recipients alike. This conversation will invite you to imagine care as a shared responsibility, not an endless obligation.
