Parental Advisory In Reverse
Welcome to Parental Advisory — In Reverse, a podcast for Gen-Xers suddenly parenting the people who raised us.
I’m Allison — a 50-year-old daughter caregiving for both parents at once: my dad is receiving hospice care, and my mom recently lost her driving privileges.
It’s the joy, the tears, the snark, and the dark humor that come when the roles flip and midlife gets very real.
From unpaid bills to ice cream runs to brain tumors and bittersweet laughs, we’ll figure it out together — because Gen-X has been figuring shit out since the 80s.
🎙️ Honest. Emotional. Funny.
