When caregiving scrambles your world, community can be the life raft that keeps you afloat. In this episode of Wiched Generation, host Julie Viola shares how community shaped her life long before she became a caregiver—and how it saved her during some of her hardest days.
Julie explores why building (or rebuilding) a support network is essential when you're sandwiched between caring for kids and aging parents, and offers practical ways to create connection even when you feel isolated. Whether you're leaning on old friends, finding new ones, or simply learning how to ask for help, this episode is a reminder: you’re not meant to do this alone—and you don’t have to.
