Season 1 of The Millennial Sandwich is officially wrapped!

From the first episode we recorded (which, spoiler alert, has still never been released) to this season 1 recap, we've learned so much, felt so seen, and found ourselves asking..."is this a podcast or a therapy session" over and over again.

In this episode, we talk about what we took away from our first season, what you can expect from us down the line, and what we hope to deliver in our second season. But most of all, we just...talk.

We get into:

-Why millennials need to be called out for their nostalgia obsession

-How tradwife/girlboss binaries don't serve anyone

-Why "working mom" isn't an accurate or inclusive label

-The guests and episodes that surprised us most

-Why it's Taylor Swift's world (we're just living in it)

• What it's really like to parent and care for aging parents under one roof
• Why Naaz took a career pause (and came back to the workforce with an even richer professional perspective)
• How perfectionism isn't sustainable for sandwich generation caregivers
• What it really feels like to navigate the medical system as your parents age

If you're a millennial, there's a good chance you've noticed some changes in how your parents function. Maybe they're moving differently, or they're repeating themselves more, or they're simply just...not as confident as they used to be.

But if you're in the sandwich generation, noticing those changes in how your parents behave is especially complicated — because while you want to stay on top of those changes, you're so busy raising your kids, you barely have time to consider what they could mean.

Co-host Dr. Anita Chandra, a geriatrician and expert in aging weighs in on

-Those signs of aging and what people can do when they notice them

-The difference between normal aging and a sign something may be amiss

-Why we need to change our cultural perceptions of "old people"

-What it truly means to "age well"

-What our cultural obsession with independence is really doing to older adults

-How adult children can care for their parents from a distance

Topics covered:

Aging, longevity, The Golden Bachelor, midlife, middle age, millennials, baby boomers, the sandwich generation, caregiving, long-distance caregiving
