Caregiving in the Digital Age: How Technology Eases the Journey

In this episode of Honestly Aging by Friends Life Care VigR®, we're exploring what it really means to care for a loved one in today's world and how technology can make that journey a little lighter.

We're joined by Traci Lamb, Business Development Specialist at OdessaConnect, a platform that helps older adults stay connected through the most familiar screen in the home – the TV. Drawing from both her professional experience and personal caregiving story, Traci shares honest insights about the emotional, financial, and logistical challenges caregivers face and how accessible tech can bring comfort, connection, and peace of mind.

Listeners will learn how to:

• Navigate the emotional weight and daily realities of caregiving

• Use simple technology to reduce isolation and strengthen family connection

• Approach caregiving with more planning, balance, and self-compassion

Whether you're caring for a parent, a partner, or preparing for the road ahead, this conversation reminds us that caregiving doesn't have to be done alone and that the right tools can make the journey more connected, supported, and human.
