Rayna Neises, your host, talks with Peggy Bodde. Peggy left corporate life behind in 2014 to start a freelance writing business.

- [3:30] Caring for an in-law is different from your parent.
- [8:13] Ask, “What can you experience together?”
- [8:55] There are more than just physical needs that need to be taken care of.
- [9:59] Caregiving is difficult and can be very lonely and isolating.
- [11:09] Utilize resources to allow yourself to be proactive instead of reactive.
