Jennifer sits her father down and chats about his memories of Christmas and other childhood moments. Sioux discovers a treasure from her mother's very early years that prompts her to remember that her mother was once a tiny little girl. It's remarkable how precious those simple times were and how we could all benefit from slowing down and thinking about our parents as children.
Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year and that 2023 ushers in a bit more simplicity and self reflection in your life.

In this episode, listen to Dorothy Onyango, patient and patient activist, share her views on the many barriers encountered by aging patients with HIV living in resource-limited settings and the need to work on solutions to overcome such barriers, including:

• The major burden of poverty affecting access to care/medications, healthcare services (eg, treatment for noncommunicable diseases, home-based care), and social support
• The added social obstructions to HIV care for older women (eg, sexual reproductive health rights)
• Potential solutions to support the aging population with HIV to encourage good health and wellness such as:
  • Self-advocacy to provide a voice for patients, especially women
  • A comprehensive public health response
  • Policy changes, including a budget line in the national budget, to ensure the rights of older people
  • AIDS-friendly prevention initiatives (eg, affordable/accessible condoms)
  • Income-generating activities to help older patients with HIV become economically sound

We are the Sandwiched Generation.

Our children moved out.
Our parents moved in. 

Join us as we try to navigate through this journey that has no roadmap. 

Episode 1 introduces our hosts, Sioux and Jennifer, and how they became part of the sandwiched generation. They share bits and background of their parents to honor them and provide the foundation for what's to come. They hope to bring some awareness and levity and relief to those who are caring for their elderly parent.

There will come a time when the tables turn and suddenly the parent becomes the child and the child is caring for the parent. Actress Brandee Evans shares her very personal story of taking care of her mother who has multiple sclerosis. She’s on the hit show P-Valley now, but she didn’t have a job when her mother came to live with her in Los Angeles. Then Ali taps the expertise of Mary Hulme, a geriatric specialist who actually helped Ali and her siblings as they were navigating changes with their mother. Mary talks about how siblings can work together, the importance of maintaining dignity and why safety shouldn’t necessarily be the main consideration. 

If you have questions or guest suggestions, Ali would love to hear from you. Call or text her at (323) 364-6356. Or email go-ask-ali-podcast-at-gmail.com. (No dashes)

It is really easy to get discouraged or to even give up when we feel that our efforts are not being responded to, or even heard. So how are we supposed to pursue our big vision, dreams and plans if we don't know how to ask people for help powerfully or effectively? We are lucky today to have my special guest, Indrani Goradia, on the show. She is going to give us a powerful lesson in asking for what we need and sticking around to make sure we get the best outcomes possible for ourselves.

Indrani is the founder of RAFT, Resilience for Advocates through Foundational Training. They are focused on helping staff of sexual and domestic violence organizations to make self care a regular part of their personal and professional lives.

Timestamps:
• [9:22] Indrani talks about how she came to realize that it was the sexual and organizational advocates who her RAFT organization could reach.
• [12:32] “The only thing I knew was that I didn't have a choice. When our mission comes to us, and the mission presents itself, and we say yes, I will do it. We no longer have a choice.”
• [25:34] “The first thing to know about asking for help is the thing that you're asking for, is it your business to ask?”
• [34:40] “Be brave enough to make the ask and be humble enough to say thank you to the no, in the most magnanimous way.”
