The Wicked Daughter
This podcast is for every daughter, son, spouse, partner, friend, and caregiver who has ever sat in a doctor's office taking notes, answered a call from the emergency room, argued about a walker, searched for the missing phone, or cried in a parking lot before pulling themselves together and walking back inside. Here you'll find stories, dark humor, hard-earned lessons, and the occasional reminder that you're not losing your mind. You're just doing one of the hardest jobs there is. So welcome. Pull up a chair. Hide your emergency chocolate. And join me as we navigate aging parents, impossible decisions, and caregiving chaos one meltdown at a time.
Episodes
One phone call changed everything.
One minute I was just a daughter.
The next, I was navigating hospitals, impossible decisions, and a role nobody ever prepares you for: caregiver.
In this first episode, I share how I became The Wicked Daughter—not because I was mean, controlling, or bossy...but because loving an aging parent sometimes means becoming the person who takes away the car keys, argues with doctors, worries about fall...
The sheriff said Mom was alive.
That was the good news.
Everything after that...got complicated.
In this episode, I take you inside the emergency room, where fear, uncertainty, and "hospital time" collide. If you've ever waited hours for answers that never seemed to come, replayed worst-case scenarios in your head, or discovered that every medical update somehow creates three new questions, you'll understand exactly what happened next...
"The doctor will be with you shortly."
"It shouldn't be much longer."
If you've ever waited in a hospital, you know those words can mean absolutely anything.
In this episode of The Wicked Daughter, surgery is scheduled... then mysteriously canceled... after the cafeteria apparently gets the memo before the nurses.
Between endless waiting, another day without food, and the quiet fear of anesthesia, I learn that sometimes the hardest par...
Nobody hands you a manual for becoming a caregiver.
They just hand you a clipboard.
No one prepares you for the waiting.
The worrying.
The impossible decisions.
Or the moments so completely absurd that you can't help but laugh.
The Wicked Daughter is an honest, darkly funny podcast about the real life of caring for an aging parent.
Because no one should have to navigate this journey alone.
You're in the right waiting room.
