Some of the biggest gifts I’ve received from launching Living in the Sandwich Zone are the incredible connections-turned-friendships I’ve made with my podcast guests. My guest today is most certainly one of those gifts!
After being introduced to Laurie by one of my college roommates, we connected and, right away, I knew she was a kindred spirit!
Laurie James is the mother of 4, an author, a relationship coach and what she calls a “recovering caregiver”. While raising her four daughters, Laurie cared for both her parents until their deaths.
In this episode she shares all about her parenting and caregiving experiences and what she learned along the way. We also talk about the book she wrote, Sandwiched: A Memoir About Holding on and Letting Go, in which chronicles her life both before, during and after making her way through the Sandwich Zone.
Just last week, Laurie added another title to her resume: podcast host. As of June 29, 2023, she launched her new podcast, Confessions of a Freebird, in which she talks about a multitude of midlife topics including life as a “freebird” (aka being an “empty nester”), parenting, divorce, dating, sex, loss, grief and so much more. Be sure to take a listen and follow her podcast for more of Laurie's wisdom!
