The SH!T Sandwich Generation
Raw. Relatable. Real Life.
Welcome to the Sh!t Sandwich Generation, the podcast for those caught in the messy middle - juggling aging parents, growing kids, demanding careers, and a life of your own (if you can find it). Hosted by sisters MaryBeth and Susan Parisi, we share unfiltered stories, expert advice, and honest conversations about navigating the emotional, financial, and logistical chaos of caregiving from both sides.
Because this isn't the highlight reel - this is survival with a heap of heart, humor, and hard-won wisdom.
