Parenting Your Parents

This week, Alex unpacks what it means to start parenting your own parents. From taking on travel plans, technology, and doctor’s appointments to navigating role reversal and anticipatory grief, she explores the emotional reality of watching your parents age. She opens up about the guilt, frustration, and growing responsibility that can come with this shift, and what it feels like to still need your parents as you become an adult. Finally, Alex dives into romanticizing your love life, and why it might actually be okay to write a letter to your ex-situationship. Enjoy! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
