Care Taker Talk
by Vicki Charles & Mbili Findlay
Real talk about the hardest job that we're never trained for. Care Taker Talk is the podcast for anyone who's ever Googled "is this normal" at 2am while worrying about an aging parent. Every week, we sit down with the people who actually know this world: hospice teams, elder-law attorneys, geriatric care managers, and home care leaders, alongside the family caregivers living it in real time. Just honest conversations about the stuff nobody prepares you for. New episodes every Friday. Because caregiving doesn't wait for a good time, and neither should good information. Care Taker Talk provides education and reflection, not medical, legal, or financial advice. Listeners are encouraged to do their own research and consult qualified professionals before making decisions about their own care or the care of a loved one. Guests speak for themselves, not for Atendi.
