**The Sandwich Generation finally gets the conversation we deserve.**
Club Sandwich is the community for those caring for ageing parents while juggling work, kids, relationships, and sanity. This is your tribe when family doesn't get it - or just isn't enough.
Hosted by veteran broadcaster Sarah Macdonald, Club Sandwich features clinical psychologists instead of life coaches, GPs instead of gratitude journals, and honest conversations about the relief-guilt paradox nobody else will touch.
**Episodes include:**
🔧 This Week's Hack - Actionable strategy you can use today
💌 Listener Letter - Real questions from Clubbers like you
🔥 Hot Mess Moments - Stories that make you feel less alone
🛠️ What We're Using - Resources and tools that actually help
**Meet the regular Clubbers:**
**Melissa Reader** - CEO of Vera aged care platform (vera.guide) and expert on Australia's ageing crisis and system failures.
**Dr. Jo Lamble** - Clinical psychologist specializing in guilt, family dynamics, and the impossible decisions when every option has a cost.
**Dr. Ginny Mansberg** - GP and women's health advocate who tells it straight about what caregiving does to your body.
**Dr. Stephanie Ward** - Geriatrician and consulting expert for ABC's Old People's Home for 4 Year Olds, helping you understand when "old" becomes a crisis—and when it doesn't.
**Kerry Milligan** - Gogglebox Australia star bringing humor, honesty, and hard-won perspective to impossible family situations.
**No bubble baths. No bullshit. Just expert-led, community-first support for people who don't need another thing to feel bad about not doing.**
