Young Life Interrupted - A Podcast For Young Caregivers
Are you a 20-40 something caregiver caring for a partner, parent, grandparent, family member or friend? Are you feeling isolated in your caregiving role because no one your age is experiencing the same journey? Are you feeling stress, overwhelm & frustration because you're trying to provide care while maintaining some semblance of a life? And most importantly, are you in desperate need of support & community to help you see the silver linings and celebrate the small wins before you completely burnout? Young Life Interrupted is here with your weekly dose of personal stories, insights and conversations with other caregivers, just like you, and experts who can help guide you in the right direction when it comes to the most pressing questions you have from being abruptly thrown into your care journey and questions that continue to arise throughout it. Your host, Adrienne Glusman, is a change maker and professional speaker on the topic of Millennial Caregiving and former caregiver to her mom who battled Multiple System Atrophy. She helps young caregivers find community and connection to support them through every step of their care journey. Adrienne spent 10 years in her caregiving role, starting at age 29. Having “graduated” from caregiving and being on the other side of it for a year now, through sharing her story and the stories of others, she can help you see a path forward and also what else is possible in your life - as being in a season of caregiving at a young age does not have to be your end all be all. Caregiving at our age is your unfair advantage so if you are looking for support, you’re in the right place! To find out more visit @younglifeinterrupted on Instagram.

Embracing Your Identity Beyond Caregiving
Step into an exploration of self-identity amidst the caregiver role in our latest episode of the Young Life Interrupted Podcast. Host Adrienne Glusman Marioles guides us through the intricate narratives of young caregivers who find themselves in the embarking or deep in the throes of their care journey, highlighting the pivotal importance of self-recognition while maintaining individuality.
Every caregiver's journey begins with a unique story - driven by love, duty, or circumstance. However, as we immerse ourselves in caregiving, our identities can become intertwined with those we care for, often overshadowing our own stories. In this episode, Adrienne shares heartfelt anecdotes and keen insights, urging us to recognize the significance of acknowledging ourselves as caregivers without letting it consume our entire identity.
Discover practical strategies to reclaim your sense of self while fulfilling your caregiving duties - from setting boundaries to nurturing personal interests and connections outside of caregiving. Let caregiving become a facet of your identity rather than its entirety, allowing room for growth, fulfillment, and self-discovery.
Join us as we navigate the delicate balance between caregiving and personal identity, empowering young caregivers to embrace their multifaceted selves while caring for loved ones.
