Episode ONE
In this kickoff episode, Kristen and Jill introduce the mission of the podcast and share practical, real-world advice on how to become an empowered advocate for your loved one. With over 40 years of combined experience in senior care — as a nurse and a social worker — they break down where advocacy begins: the primary care provider.
From navigating MyChart portals and keeping accurate medication lists to preparing for emergencies and avoiding common barriers to care, this episode is packed with foundational tools every caregiver should have in place before a crisis happens.
If you’re caring for aging parents, a spouse, a neighbor, or even preparing for your own future, this episode will help you move from overwhelmed to empowered.
