In this episode of The Cookie Jar, Marla Jewell begins the real work of imagining what life after caregiving could look like. As she digs deeper into her aunt Judy’s notebooks, the abandoned Sacajawea Ridge center, and the stories of caregivers in her community, Marla learns the true cost — financial, emotional, and personal — of bringing respite back to Salmon, Idaho. With Daniel’s help and wisdom from those who lived it before, Marla starts sketching a sustainable plan that honors Judy’s legacy without repeating her burnout. A grounded, heartfelt look at what it truly takes to rebuild hope one small step at a time.
