In Episode 14, we address the Sandwich Generation with Allison K. Wyman. As a family caregiving attorney, consultant, and coach, Allison helps caregivers reduce conflict and regret, save time and money, and sanity. A two-time cancer caregiver to her parents and current caregiver for her mom, Allison has spent nearly 20 years personally and professionally working in the caregiving space, which she considers to be among the greatest honors of her life.
She is very astute but real when she states, ‘The people we love only die once. There is no dress rehearsal. No do-over!’ Allison’s mission is for every family to enter this eternal chapter from a position of strength, and she empowers her clients with a sense of peace instead of regret after the caregiving ends.
To do so, Allison created a unique, one-of-its-kind digital course “How Your Family Wins in Caregiving” which launches in January 2024! Register here using this unique link: https://allisonkwyman.com/sales-page-5929-4857-6868-9671?am_id=mary427
