You're My Favorite
Welcome to You’re My Favorite, a podcast about caregiving, chaos, and sisterhood. Hosted by Lexi and Ari, two sisters navigating life as young caregivers to their mom with dementia and Parkinson’s, this show is part heart, part humor, and all real. Through laughter, tears, and way too many inside jokes, they explore what it means to care for a parent while juggling relationships, work, and mental health. Whether you're a caregiver yourself or just curious about the ride, you're not alone — and hey, you might even laugh along the way.

When Joy Meets Grief: Navigating Big Life Events as Caregivers
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Big life events are supposed to be all joy and celebration—but for caregivers, they can also stir up a lot of complicated emotions. In this episode, we talk about Ari’s wedding: the excitement, the chaos, and the very real grief of missing a key family member during such a milestone moment.
We share the push and pull between wanting to be fully present in a once-in-a-lifetime event, while also carrying the weight of absence. From navigating family dynamics, to finding ways to honor loved ones who can’t be there, to letting ourselves feel all the feelings, we open up about the beauty and heartbreak that can exist in the same breath.
This one’s for anyone who’s celebrated something huge while also holding onto loss. It’s messy. It’s tender. And you’re not alone.
