EPISODE 68: I'm Her Best Shot1 Sept9 min

In this episode, I talk about what it means to become your aging parent's advocate when you are the person who knows them best. I share my own experience of showing up for my mother during a medical crisis and why understanding her language, habits, and unique way of communicating became so important. We'll explore why consistency and daily check-ins are not necessarily a burden, but can become a powerful form of support and connection. Most importantly, this episode is about the deep relationship that allows you to recognize what your parent needs, even when they cannot fully express it themselves.
