We’re so happy to have Dr. Cheryl Woodson as a guest on the podcast! She is a geriatrician-turned-author, and her wisdom resonates with us as we prepare for our parents' elderly years. We had lofty goals of having a linear conversation about the relationship between aging, caregiving, and mental health, but Dr. Woodson is so engaging and multifaceted that we had a conversation that included many more topics as well. Soak up some great tips and encouragement as you listen, and please check out her books to learn more: To Survive Caregiving, The Doctor is IN, and Dear Lauren, Love Mom.

For the last two years, the holiday season has been unusual, to say the least. For many people in 2020, it was difficult because they weren’t able to see their families. For many people in 2021, it's difficult because they are expected to see their families. And of course, even in the most average of years, the holidays are a source of strife for more people than you would expect. So if they’re getting you down, take a listen to this episode that will encourage you to lie to protect yourself, spray people in the face, and embrace the sanctuary of the bathroom, among other mental health tips for this trying time. Please note that some regional policy information mentioned in this episode may be out of date; the Hannahs were referencing an article published in 2020.
