The thing I love most about this podcast is the variety of shows: from solo episodes about Rebecca’s experience as a clinician and granddaughter to expert guests and “average” guests discussing their experiences (good and bad) dealing with their aging parents. I also love Rebecca’s willingness to be transparent and her ability to tackle difficult topics in a non-judgmental way.
