Hello, friends, I'm so happy to bring you the next interview in my series on caregiving.

This conversation with Emily Kenway was deeply moving to me.

Emily is the author of Who Cares, the hidden crisis of

caregiving, and how we solve it. Like my other guests in this series, Emily has a personal

caregiving story. She was the primary caregiver for her terminally ill mother, and her life was

changed forever. In this book, she brings to light the stories of caregivers, often working tirelessly and

bearing the burden silently, and certainly not supported by broader systems.

Emily is both a deep and broad thinker. She so well communicates the nuances and situations

and can connect the dots from individual to system level problems. Whether or not you are in the

caregiving zone right now, it is likely you will be, and I think you need to listen to this

episode. In this conversation, Emily and I talk about everything from caregiver invisibility

to anxiety about death, gender inequity, advocating at work, and more. And also, I want to issue a tissue alert in a good way

because I found this conversation so insightful and compassionate and authentic. I think you will come

away with a lot to think about and some practical steps to take as well. Let's have a listen.

Hello and welcome, Emily.

I'm so excited to talk to you today.

Thanks for coming on the mic with me.

Thank you so much for having me.

Well, I will have in the introduction shared all about you, your incredible work,
