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.

So… Let’s Talk About Coping

The holidays can amplify everything — stress, grief, emotions… and often, alcohol. In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about substances, drinking culture, and how caregiving has shaped our relationship with alcohol. From social pressure at holiday gatherings to using drinks as a way to cope, we talk openly about what’s felt supportive, what hasn’t, and what’s changed for each of us.
We explore how caretaking stress can blur boundaries, how alcohol can sneak in as a coping mechanism, and what it looks like to choose yourself without judgment.
This isn’t about labels or rules — it’s about awareness, compassion, and finding healthier ways to move through hard seasons. If you’ve ever questioned your relationship with alcohol, especially during high-stress or emotional times, this conversation is for you.
