Caregiving is never just about logistics. It's about love, legacy… and preparation. In this powerful new Beyond Empty Nest podcast episode, I sat down with Cheryl Rothbart — a caregiving coach who knows the journey intimately after supporting four loved ones through major health challenges, including her son. But Cheryl’s mission? It’s not just to support caregivers. It’s to help you prepare to be cared for — legally, emotionally, and relationally. 🎙️ In this episode, we discuss:
The emotional cost of being unprepared for caregiving
Legal must-haves every adult should consider (DNRs, wills, and more)
How caregivers can protect their mental health and find support
What midlife purpose looks like — at 75 and beyond
This conversation is a gift to anyone navigating aging parents, caregiving roles, or their own future.
