  • Very well done

    FINALLY something for caregivers that is cool and well done. Kelli is great. Their approach and style is so wonderful. Thank you for your service, friend. I have been a caregiver of someone with Long Covid for 2 years. I wish I’d found this sooner. As a person experiencing caregiving while also being a parent of a young child and having parents with very advanced dementia- this is so good. It’s like a good hang. Thank you!!!

  • What no doctor ordered, but just what I needed

    The podcast is welcoming, informative, and highly relatable. A reminder that even if you’re great at caring for…you ought to also practice allowing that care to be reciprocated. Great, practical advice for us stubborn heads out here in the aether.

  • Beautiful and funny

    In a world full of rant-y podcasts and horrifyingly bad news, Cared For feels like a balm for the soul. As someone who is quick to provide support and slow to accept it, I’ve learned some very practical tips on how to be more gracious in my acceptance of help. Warm, funny, and pragmatic.
