We hit our second season with a doozy.
When people are hit with a devastating diagnosis or chronic illness, caregivers rise up to take care of everything. But who is taking care of the caregivers?
Sarah and Kelly are joined by author, Kate Washington, to discuss her book, "Already Toast" about her experience with caregiving and recovering from burnout. We get into the current state of caregivers, the signs of burnout, and how caregivers can get the support they need. Sarah goes on a rant and Kelly gets philosophical.
Join us on The Unchosen Fork.
