Coming Clean About Caregiving

Coming Clean About Caregiving is the raw, honest, and unfiltered guide to surviving life in the caregiving trenches. Hosted by veteran medical and business journalist Julie Peck (Medscape, Business Insider), this show strips away the polite clichés to talk about what caregiving is actually like.

Julie cared for her mother for six agonizing, beautiful, and overwhelming years until her death in 2022. Through that journey, she learned a lifetime of hard lessons—most of them too late to help. This podcast is the resource she wishes she’d had.

Each week, Julie brings together frontline family caregivers, top-tier clinicians, and elder care experts to share actionable advice, debunk hospice myths, and solve daily care logistics. From navigating medical data and building a care team to fighting caregiver burnout and handling the heavy weight of caregiver guilt, Coming Clean About Caregiving delivers the practical tools and validation you need to survive today.

We use a little humor, a lot of truth, and zero judgment to make the hardest job in the world just a little bit easier. Because you shouldn't have to figure it out alone.
