In this pre-recorded session Sherry King (founder of Sandwich Generation Support) puts a spotlight on the pressure-cooker reality so many midlife women are living in… even if they don’t have a name for it yet.

She’s joined by nurse Hilary Gupte, who’s lived it herself while juggling care for an older relative, young kids, and work. Together they explain what the “sandwich generation” actually means (and why it’s not just one neat scenario), then hit you with the uncomfortable truth: loads of people are carers without ever calling themselves that. If you’re doing the prescriptions, the appointments, the shopping, the constant checking-in — that’s caring, and it adds up fast.
