The Itinerist Podcast: Real Talk for Caregivers

The Itinerist Podcast is here to put caregivers at the center of the eldercare conversation. We tackle the chaos of caregiving with humor, honesty, and expert insights so you can feel supported, prepared, and maybe even laugh a little along the way.

Why This Podcast Matters

Most eldercare resources focus solely on the aging parent, but who’s taking care of the caregiver? At Itinerist, we believe that caregivers need to be at the center of the eldercare experience. Just like the airplane rule—put your mask on first—we know that when caregivers are supported, everyone benefits.
