Episode notes

Life’s coming at you like a flood—messy, overwhelming, and leaving debris everywhere. 🌊 What do you do? You can resist, you can fight… or you can embrace radical acceptance.

Jayne and Heather break down the unexpected twists of supporting aging parents, from ER chaos to the garden plot theory (yes, someone’s always dumping in your garden). Plus, why shifting from resistance to calm isn’t just good for you—it’s a ripple effect for everyone.

Fists clenched or hands open? You decide. Welcome to People in the Squeeze. 🎙️
