Sandwiched & Stretched: The Reality of Raising Kids While Caring for Parents

Jennifer Bott is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with deep personal and professional insight into the challenges of the sandwich generation. Married and the mother of three young adult children, Jennifer balances part-time work as a mental health therapist while helping manage her husband’s business. She also shares her home with her 81-year-old mother, stepping into the day-to-day responsibilities of caregiving. Passionate about honest conversations around boundaries, caregiving, and finding balance in a full season of life, Jennifer volunteers with a foundation that supports metastatic breast cancer patients with financial needs. She joins us today to discuss the joys and challenges of multigenerational living, managing work and family while caregiving, and the emotional impact of caregiving on the entire family.
