Episode Synopsis

Summer isn’t always carefree when you’re in the thick of caregiving. In this episode, Julie explores what the season looks like for those juggling kids, aging parents, and careers — all while navigating the heat, disrupted routines, and the emotional toll it can take. From the story of one summer she had to take time off to manage her mother’s dehydration to the staggering stat that over 62% of caregivers take time off work not for rest, but to care for older family members, this episode dives into the truth behind the so-called “break” of summer. Tune in for practical insights, real stories, and a reminder that even when summer feels heavy, you're not alone.
