Melting Down Under the Mistletoe: Caregiving + Holidays
Our podcast is hosted on Spotify and Anchor.
There aren’t a lot of places caregivers can go to talk about the difficulties of their position, especially during the holidays when ongoing merriment is the expectation, so we decided to create one! Alex Drane and BJ Miller led a real time discussion on navigating the joys and pains of giving, and receiving, care during the holidays.
