In the very first episode of Care For We- episode 1 of 7- I share the personal story behind this podcast; how Erin became disabled and how I unexpectedly stepped into the role of caregiver. What began as a journey through uncertainty, grief, advocacy, and love eventually became a deeper understanding of caregiving and the countless invisible challenges families face every day.

This episode is not only our story; it is also an introduction to the conversations ahead. Together, we will explore caregiving, disability, chronic illness, family relationships, identity, grief, resilience, policy, healthcare systems, and the often-overlooked experiences of those who provide care.

Whether you are a caregiver, care recipient, healthcare professional, researcher, family member, or someone simply trying to understand this world better, this podcast was created with you in mind.

Welcome to Care For We—because caregiving was never meant to be carried alone.
