  • S2 Ep. 14 - Dale is Getting Vulnerable Today
    May 21 2024

    This is a little bit of a different episode for Rachel and Dale. Since many of us have aging parents, Dale is getting vulnerable about his own experience right now with his own mother. So, today, they are peeling back the curtain on a topic close to their hearts: the nuanced dance of family dynamics as parents age. This episode is a tapestry of personal stories and has the duo reflecting on how these have influenced their personal growth.

    Join Rachel and Dale as they share the raw truth of grief, estrangement and loss, acknowledging the arduous path of caregiving with no guidebook in hand. Despite our usual flavor of humor, we pause to extend a hand of solidarity to our listeners who may find themselves on a similar journey. It's about finding community in the shared struggle and embracing the support systems that help us navigate these tender transitions.

    As we round off this heartfelt episode, we find solace in laughter and the quirky nuances of life. So, whether you're in the throes of caring for an aging loved one or simply seeking a connection, come join us for an episode that promises authenticity, laughter and reflection.
