We've got some news: a brand new podcast for you!
The Sandwich Generation is finally getting the conversation we deserve.
If you're feeling the squish, our new podcast Club Sandwich is for you. It's the community for those caring for ageing parents while juggling work, kids, relationships, and sanity. This is your tribe when family doesn't get it - or just isn't enough.
And the best news is, Agehood host and Vera.guide CEO Melissa Reader is a Clubber too - and she's handing over the reins to Club Sandwich host, veteran broadcaster Sarah Macdonald.
Club Sandwich features clinical psychologists instead of life coaches, GPs instead of gratitude journals, and honest conversations about the relief-guilt paradox nobody else will touch.
Make sure you're following the podcast in your favourite app, and if you know someone going through it, grab their phone and sign them up too! Episodes will be here in your feed every Thursday from February 12. More information coming very soon!
Visit clubsandwich.community to join the tribe.
Topics covered: Caregiver guilt, sibling conflict, dementia care, financial planning, legal issues, family boundaries, burnout prevention, end-of-life decisions, self-care that actually works, navigating aged care systems, and the emotional toll of caring for ageing parents.

Hi, I'm Melissa Reeder, host of Agehood. I'm so excited to let you know that we've got a brand new podcast, Club Sandwich. For the maxed out midlifers, caring for aging parents and everything in between, Club Sandwich is going to be hosted by the fabulous Sarah McDonald.
Hello. I am, I am in the sandwich. I love a sandwich. I drop a sandwich all over me frequently when I eat a sandwich and this, this is going to be really exciting. We're going to have some great guests who are going to help us navigate this period of life. So if you've got a lot of plates spinning, if there's just too much going on for you, it's no picnic. It's no picnic. But we are going to be those little soldier ants that come to your picnic with your sandwich and help you kind of get this part of your life on track and recognise the messiness, but also recognize the joy and the beauty and the humour within it too.
You've got them, we've got you.
