Liz has firsthand experience holding down a busy career, raising a family and then taking on a caregiving role out of the blue with both of her parents. Liz and Carol discuss the importance of “showing up” at work now, in order to gain trust and equity with your co-workers for the future when you may need some flexibility; the tough conversations that every family should have before there is a health crisis; and if you are on career break and then your circumstances change, how to position your caregiving time to your advantage.

With his collaborative work with Dr. David Roth of Johns Hopkins University, they have discovered some new things about caregivers that might surprise you. In this week’s episode, Dr. Haley breaks down their research and underlines some of the positive results of caregiving. Key Takeaways: [2:35] Many caregivers experience positives and negatives simultaneously in their caregiving journey. [6:00] After interviewing/tracking 30,000+ people, Dr. Haley has discovered that under 20% of the caregivers in that people group are highly strained and stressed. [8:10] Dr. Haley breaks down how the study is conducted and their 30,000+ random population sample size. [10:55] In Dr. Haley’s sample size, he is looking at all types of people, including caregivers, and he is able to see that not everyone is reaching out for help and not everyone is stressed/depressed about their caregiving situation. [11:35] People generally think of caregiving as overwhelming, but Dr. Haley has discovered some surprising results about caregivers. [13:30] How does someone measure lower or higher mortality? [16:45] Caregiving is a very normal thing for people to do. [18:00] What are some of the positive aspects of caregiving?

Jennifer Levin is a millennial and was faced with the shocking news at 32; she had to put her father in a nursing facility because of his Parkinson's disease. At the time, she was heavily focused on her career and living in a different state than her father. sShe felt terribly alone and isolated during that time because none of her peers could relate. Jennifer shares her experience on what it was like caring for her father as a millennial. when her career was just starting to blossom. Key Takeaways: [1:05] Jennifer was 32 when she realized her father’s illness was more serious than what she thought it was. [7:05] How do the experiences of a millenial caregiver differ from somebody who is a bit older? [10:25] It becomes really hard to care for someone when you are still single and dating, which a lot of millennials still are. [11:15] It was tough for Jennifer because her career was just launching and she just started living independently (no roommates) when she found out her father needed extra care. [18:45] At work, Jennifer didn’t really tell work about her caregiving status. How did Jennifer handle her work and life responsibilities? [24:40] Millennials aren’t talking about elder care, so Jennifer felt very alone and isolated in her journey when her father was sick. [29:40] Because social media portrays a certain level of ‘life’s perfect’ it was hard for Jennifer to find other people in her situation. This is why she created The Caregivers Collective so that people can support each other. [32:15] Jennifer has noticed that millennial caregivers turn their knowledge into a career because they don’t want to let their resources go to waste and have people go through the same thing they went through. [36:20] When Jennifer was going through this journey, work didn't feel like a priority anymore and it made her realize what was really important in her life.

Chris MacLellan was with his partner Richard for 11 years before Richard passed away from esophagus cancer. Richard was originally given only 3-4 months to live, but ended up surpassing that and living for three more years. Chris shares his experience and story about what it was like caring for his partner and why the quality of healthcare may be different for a hetrosexual couple. Theirs is a love story. Key Takeaways: [0:55] Chris’s partner, Richard, was diagnosed with esophagus cancer. [4:00] Chris made a conscious decision to not tell Richard he only had 3-4 months to live. [10:20] It’s important to share each other’s caregiving story, no matter how painful it might be. Your story helps others. [12:15] When Chris and Richard were together, marriage equality was not recognized. So Chris had to take lawyer notes around with him to make sure he was getting the right treatment. [13:25] Unfortunately, Chris did experience discrimination in patient care. [18:40] After Richard passed, Chris made a lot of mistakes in an attempt to heal. [20:45] Chris and Richard had a big fight six weeks before he passed. Fights happen to everybody, even when you’re caregiving. [22:45] Quality care for LGBT adults over the age of 50 lags behind straight adults in the same age range. Why is that? [26:35] We should all be able to care for our loved one with ease no matter our sexual orientation. [30:25] Chris is just one of millions of examples out there of people who have experienced hardship with the caregiving process. Share your story.

Today’s episode features two working sons and showcases the unique challenges male family caregivers face. Zack Demopoulos is the host of the Raisins Rents podcast and shares his story as a working son caring for his Greek parents. Josh Lamont is the founder of JRL Strategies and shares his story on the frustrations of not knowing about both state and non-profit programs that could have helped his aging veteran father earlier. Key Takeaways: [1:25] When Zack’s father got sick, he had no idea what to do. He was completely lost in this process. [2:30] Zack’s parents are greek immigrants and the service he hired to help them was so rude and disrespectful that his mother had a hard time even considering help again after she fired them. [7:00] Zack runs his own business and can take time off to go visit and take care of mom. People think it’s easy because he has a flexible schedule, but it’s not. When he leaves, his business suffers. [9:15] Zack believes childcare is well-covered topic in the corporate world, but the topic of eldercare is not. [10:45] What kind of challenges do men in caregiving face? [14:40] Zack felt so guilty at first when he was located so far away from his parents. [17:15] What can the women do to support men in caregiving? [18:35] We turn to Josh now to share his story and why his life was changed in 2014. [20:35] When it came to Josh’s mom and her health deteriorating rapidly, he felt he had to blame work for not coming to see her. He was stuck because he didn’t want to face the facts. [21:55] Josh’s father had Parkinson's, and when he finally made it out to see his parents, he noticed his dad was in far worse shape than he thought. [25:00] What kind of challenges did Josh have when it came to caring for his father? [29:15] How did Josh balance work and caring for his father? [32:10] Josh found out his father was in debt and that hugely impacted his finances as well. [39:15] Through a Vietnam veteran’s program, Josh was able to get the financial aid he needed to help care for his father.

Brigid Schulte is the Director of the Better Life Lab at New America. She is also a journalist and best-selling author. On today’s episode, Brigid sheds light on the millions of me who are caretakers, the differences in how men and women approach care, and thoughts on working sons dealing with elder care. Key Takeaways: [1:25] Women do about twice the amount of childcare than men are. They are still seen as the primary caregiver. [3:50] More men are doing more hands-on care for their elderly parents as well as handling more of their parents’ finances. [6:15] When men go into nursing fields, they also get paid more money than their female counterparts. [9:45] Even men see the definition of the word ‘caregiving’ completely differently compared to women. [14:15] Our demographics have completely changed over the years. There is no one within the family that’s living full time at home to care for the parents. People are working and they’ve got active lives. [17:00] By changing policy and by making it more acceptable for men to be dads or to take leave from work to focus on family life, will our society and gender equality improve as a whole? [20:35] We haven’t really figured out a way to measure what is good and effective work. [27:25] What other barriers are men faced with when giving care?

She founded Positive Approach to help provide dementia care training, services, and products around the world. On today’s episode, Teepa sheds some light on how to make dementia care more manageable for the working daughter. Key Takeaways: [1:10] It’s so hard to find the right resources for people who are taking care of elderly parents with dementia. [2:40] What does Teepa do and how does she help her clients? [8:25] Families are falling apart because they sit in denial for too long or they underestimate the situation and take on more responsibility than they can handle. [10:50] If you didn’t have a great relationship with your family in the first place, going to them for support might just be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. [14:00] Where, or even who, do you go to for help first? [19:15] It’s important to plan for the future as soon as you see the signs as this disease can last up to 15-20 years. [30:25] Sometimes you have to choose between being the daughter vs. being the caregiver. This is why it’s so, so important to get support. [32:15] Unfortunately, if you left off on bad terms, becoming their caregiver will not help fix the past. [34:05] We don’t have to take on things that aren’t a good match for us. [38:25] We have more child care guidelines than we do with elderly care and this leaves a lot of people feeling lost. [41:25] 1 in 2 women after the age of 80 will be taking care of somebody. That’s just the reality. [43:50] While this is all happening, remember, who is taking care of you? Find someone in your corner than can help keep track of your mental wellbeing.
