Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver
The Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver podcast offers a candid, unfiltered space to confess the good, the bad, and the ugly of being a caregiver through storytelling, guest interviews, and information sharing. JJ & Natalie are a dynamic duo of sisters supporting their mom living with Parkinson's and a husband who survived cancer. Along with their guests, they discuss their shared experiences in caregiving. Viewers and listeners alike will relate to our reluctance, be affirmed in their ability to be caregivers and gain the courage to confidently step out of the shadows to express their own needs. You are sure to laugh, cry, and everything in between but in the end, all will leave feeling better for the journey and part of the sisterhood of care. So grab your favorite guilty pleasure, and let's get to confessing!

The Lost Episode: Looking Back with the Original Reluctant Caregivers
In August 2023, Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver took an exciting leap across the pond — airing on UK Health Radio and sharing caregiver stories with an international audience for the first time.
But there was just one catch…
They had 45 minutes or less to tell their story.
Unlike their five-part U.S. debut series, the sisters — Natalie, JJ, and Emilie — had to condense years of caregiving, laughter, loss, and growth into one whirlwind episode.
So, for National Family Caregivers Month, we’re rewinding to that moment.
To how it all began.
To see just how much caregiving — and caregivers — have evolved in the 26 months since that UK debut.
Join us as the sisters (lovingly) battle for the mic to share it all — from Jason’s cancer diagnosis and Mom’s Parkinson’s journey, to their first lessons in skilled nursing, advocacy, and the messy mix of grief and guilt that shaped who they are today.
All this… in just 45 minutes.
Tune in, laugh, cry, and remember: we may all be reluctant caregivers at first, but together, we find the courage to keep going.
