We’re Robyn Frank and Eliesa Johnson—co-hosts, moms, daughters, business owners, emotional-support-humans, legal proxies, part-time nurses, and full-time amateurs in the messy middle of life. We’re part of the so-called Sandwich Generation—that uniquely insane stage of adulthood where you're raising young kids while simultaneously caring for aging parents.

We didn’t plan to start a podcast. We didn’t even plan to get this close. But back in 2021—pandemic, newborns, and parental decline colliding—a mutual friend gently nudged us toward each other. She said, “You’re in the same moment.” And holy shit, was she right.

So we decided to create The Sandwich Generation podcast. It's a place to process all of this out loud—with some humor, some honesty, and, most importantly, some HELP. Each episode, we’ll talk to each other, some experts—lawyers, therapists, elder care specialists, smart financial people—people who can actually tell us what the hell to do. Because we need answers, and chances are … you do too.
