Welcome to You’re My Favorite, a podcast about caregiving, chaos, and sisterhood.

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.

Parkinson’s Disease is often misunderstood, and honestly before our mom’s diagnosis, we misunderstood it too. Actually, we still misunderstand it! Just listen to Lexi fail the mini quiz.
In this episode, we’re breaking down some of the most common misconceptions about Parkinson’s and sharing what the reality has looked like in our own experience.
From the idea that it’s “just tremors,” to assumptions about age, progression, and treatment, we talk through what people (including us!) often get wrong and what we’ve learned along the way.
Whether you’re navigating Parkinson’s yourself, caring for someone who is, or simply want to better understand, this episode is for you.
