Stepping up as a carer of elderly parents or sick family members can feel anxiety-inducing, but finding a new way forward can also be an opportunity for deep connection. In this touching and surprisingly uplifting episode of The Midlife Shift, host Alex Brooks sits down with carer extraordinaire Mitch Gibson and Tea Time founder Jimmy Leishman. They discuss the wild new ways our generation is navigating getting older, caring for others, and why technology might just be the helping hand we all need.

Mitch and Jimmy explore how "care tech" is fighting isolation in aged-care and why human connection remains king. They discuss how to have those hard conversations about end-of-life wishes (without being morbid), why you need to "gather your crew" when things get tough, and the practical realities of being a "TED" (The Elder’s Daughter).
