Estrogen Dropouts

For adults in their 40’s to 50’s with at least one parent age 65 or older and one or more grown children, over 55% provide emotional support to both their aging parents and grown children. And women are more likely than men to say their aging parent relies on them for emotional support on a frequent basis - 4 in 10 women vs 3 in 10 men. Emotional support isn't just the only kind - over 13% of middle-aged adults w/ aging parents provide all 3 types of assistance - practical, financial and emotional assistance to an aging parent.

In today's episode, Erin & Elizabeth talk about the emotional toll of being in the sandwich generation.  Listen in and see if you can relate to this situation.

Women between 40 and 60 are one of the fastest growing groups exploring psychedelics for healing.  Psychedelics, particularly psilocybin, are being studied at nearly every major research institution for their potential to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, OCD, eating disorders and more. 

In today's episode, we welcome Mary Locke, FNP-C, a practitioner at a ketamine infusion center who discusses the types of psychedelics and their therapeutic potential.  Listen till the end to hear all about Elizabeth and Erin's mushroom experience all in the name of podcast research.

In today's episode we discuss the recent trend of today's adult children choosing to go no contact with their parents.  As parents ourselves, it's heartbreaking for us to consider but we agree each individual has to set boundaries they feel aligned with.
