In this episode, Rosanne Corcoran, podcast host, speaker and previous caregiver of her mom with dementia, details her journey in the sandwich caregiver role, caring for her mom and children for 12 years.

About Rosanne:

Rosanne Corcoran’s journey into caregiving began with a dementia

diagnosis of her fiercely independent mother, opening the door to a 12-year

journey in sandwich caregiving. After experiencing first-hand the stress and

isolation caregiving brings along with the lack of meaningful resources for

caregivers, Rosanne created Daughterhood the Podcast. As host of the

podcast, touching the lives of thousands of caregivers, Rosanne brings her

authentic voice to each conversation and discusses challenges caregivers

face with experts in all fields.
