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.

Holiday Cheer…and Holiday Tears

The holiday season can be beautiful, meaningful… and unbelievably hard. In this episode, we talk about what it’s like to move through the holidays while grieving, missing someone, or carrying the emotional weight of caregiving. From traditions that feel different now, to the unexpected moments that bring up tears, we open up about our own experiences and the complicated mix of joy, nostalgia, and heartbreak this time of year can bring.
We also get into the pressure of holiday expectations—showing up to events, hosting, “being cheerful,” keeping it all together—and how learning to set boundaries has been a game changer. Whether it’s declining an invitation, stepping away when emotions bubble up, or redefining what the holidays look like for you, we talk about giving yourself permission to slow down, honor your feelings, and protect your energy.
If the holidays feel heavy this year, you’re not alone. We’re right here with you, navigating it all with honesty, compassion, and just a little humor.
