I recently joined The Sandwich Generation podcast for Episode 4, "For Anyone with a ‘Difficult Parent,’ This One’s for You!"

In our conversation, we explored family conflict, caregiving dynamics, and the ways mediation can support families navigating complex relationships with aging parents and high-stakes decisions.

The Sandwich Generation is a smart, funny, and deeply human podcast about life in the middle—caring for both young children and aging parents. Hosted by Robyn Frank and Eliesa Johnson, it blends honesty, practical guidance, and humor in every episode.

Today is National Caregivers Day. Let’s take a moment to recognize the strength it takes to show up, day after day, for someone you love.

Caregiving is resilience. It’s leadership. It’s love in action.

At Jack’s, we believe No Man Should Care Alone. Through community, one-on-one support, and real conversations with those who’ve been there, we walk alongside caregivers every step of the way.

If you’re a caregiver, know someone who is, or want to stand with this community, support is here:

The Value of Mediation for Families Facing End-of-Life Disputes with Molly Darsow

Family conflicts around end-of-life care don't wait for convenient moments. They happen when emotions are raw, stakes are high, and everyone is already struggling.

But there's a better way through!

Tomorrow, Molly Darsow with Still Waters Mediation, LLC joins us to explore how mediation creates a neutral space where families can navigate disputes with dignity, transforming adversarial situations into opportunities for healing and mutual understanding.

You'll learn:
✨ Practical de-escalation strategies you can use immediately
✨ How mediation honors everyone's needs while moving toward solutions
✨ Ways to improve communication during high-emotion moments
✨ Pathways toward family unity when it matters most

Whether you're a professional supporting families or navigating your own family dynamics, this session offers tools for creating peace instead of prolonging conflict.
