Episode Synopsis

Anica joins us today to talk about taking care of her mom (who has Alzheimer's) and a baby all while juggling her career as a therapist. Balancing caretaking for older parents and children at the same time is often called "sandwich caregiving." Some studies estimate that up to 24% of adult caregivers are also sandwich caregivers. Anica is an incredible insightful, thoughtful, lovely human-being, and it was such a pleasure speaking to her about all things caregiving!You can follow Anica's caregiving journey on Instagram at: @thesandwichedcaregiver⁠ You can follow us on Instagram at: @momanddadhavedementiaHost: Bethany Interviewee: Anica Leon-Weil
