Motherhood, like childhood, has so many phases. From toddlers to elementary schoolers, from tweens to teens, we’re all navigating different challenges. But what none of us seems to be prepared for is the moment when our parents start to need us, too. It’s known as the “sandwich generation,” when mamas like you and me are balancing careers, raising children, and supporting aging parents.

Tune in to hear Nikki's conversation with author and expert, Dr. Allison Alford, who shares advice on navigating this unseen work that she calls “doing daughtering.”

Connect with Dr. Allison Alford on Instagram and be sure to check out her website and her podcast, Hello Mother, Hello Daughter.
