Ep. 395 Let's talk about midlife: parenting our parents & life in the middle

We know you’ve been hoping Mindy Brouse would be back on Sorta Awesome soon, and your wish has been granted! The Midlife with Mindy and Meg series returns today, and Meg and Mindy are opening the conversation that many, many of us are needing right now - how do we make the transition to caring for our aging parents? And HOW are we supposed to do all of that while our own children are navigating brand new territory as adults, too? There are no easy answers, but there is compassionate conversation to be had!
