About This Podcast
First Time Caregiver Confessions is a safe space for first-time caregivers navigating the messy, emotional, and often overwhelming world of caring for a loved one. Hosted by Kami, a daughter suddenly thrust into caregiving with her sister, with no medical background, this podcast shares real stories, honest reflections, and lessons learned along the way.
From family dynamics to financial stress to the small amounts of grace, each episode offers connection and encouragement for anyone learning to "figure it out" one day at a time.
Because caregiving doesn't come with a handbook - but together, we can write our own.
