Caregiving For Elderly Parents Gets REAL!

Taking care of elderly parents is a journey full of love, patience… and a whole lot of unexpected moments! In this episode of Legacy Journeys, Liv and Carlton get real about the ups and downs of being caregivers, from handling tough decisions to finding humor in the chaos. 💡

Liv opens up about her father’s transition and the emotional rollercoaster of navigating end-of-life care. It’s a deeply personal yet relatable conversation that many of us will face. But don’t worry—it’s not all heavy! We weave in plenty of laughter, because let’s be real—if you don’t laugh, you just might cry! 😂

Ever been to an event where two people walked away with COMPLETELY different stories? Yeah, us too! We dive into how perception shapes our reality and how people can have wildly different takeaways from the same experience. (Like how Aunt Shirley swears the party was “classy” while Uncle Joe insists it was a total disaster. Who’s telling the truth? 🤔)

Inside this episode:

✔️ The reality of caregiving for elderly parents—what no one tells you

✔️ Liv’s emotional but beautiful journey through her father’s transition

✔️ How family caregiving challenges can bring people closer—or drive them up the wall

✔️ Why memories aren’t always reliable and how dealing with aging parents feels different for everyone

✔️ AND… some of our funniest caregiving moments (because you just HAVE to laugh sometimes!)
