What does it mean to care deeply for someone else without losing yourself in the process?
Meet Today's Peas: You'll recognize Lise Smith and Nicci Smith from Netflix's Love on the Spectrum, but behind the cameras, they've built a remarkable friendship of their own. What started with raising their sons, Connor and Tanner, together grew into Talk To Me Sis, the podcast where honesty, humor, and sisterhood take center stage.
Dr. Miriam sits down with Lise and Nicci to talk about the unexpected friendships that form through caregiving, the power (and the pitfalls) of online communities, and why supporting the people who show up for everyone else matters just as much as the caregiving itself. They get honest about redefining who they are outside of motherhood, and about watching their sons grow in ways they never expected (Connor testifying in front of the Georgia state legislature, Tanner building an independent life three hours from home.) Their message to anyone listening: The Connors and Tanners of the world are closer than you think. Go find them!
Pull up a chair. This one's for the person who's always showing up for everyone else.
