Summary

This week we’re dropping in your feed to tell you about a new Lemonada show, Squeezed with Yvette Nicole Brown. Whether we’re young or old, part of the sandwich generation or child-free, care is universal. In this seven-part series, actress and caregiver Yvette Nicole Brown looks at caregiving over the course of a lifetime, exploring the lives of everyday people, spotlighting the daily dramas, hardships and joys of caregiving across America. So many of us are caught up in the challenges of providing care and love across generations, all while juggling the demands of work and family, navigating a system that wasn’t designed with care and love in mind.

You’re about to hear a clip from the first episode, where Yvette Nicole Brown talks to Stephanie Wittels Wachs, co-founder of Lemonada Media, a mom of two, and a primary caregiver for her dad, who has Parkinson's. On the surface, Stephanie manages her kids’ extracurriculars, visits to her dad's care facility, work meetings, hikes with her husband, and never ending grocery store trips. But on the inside, she’s sinking into quicksand.
