Rosanne Corcoran knows caregiving from the inside. When her mother moved in with vascular dementia, Rosanne became her primary caregiver for years, navigating the daily realities, emotional toll, and quiet endurance that so often go unseen. Today, she channels that lived experience into advocacy as a support-circle leader and podcast host with Daughterhood, a community built to reduce isolation and provide support to caregivers. With an estimated 63 million caregivers in the U.S., and 44% of them providing high levels of care, this conversation matters more than most of us realize. As Rosanne puts it: “Caregivers at the core are isolated, overwhelmed, carrying guilt, and living with grief, and almost no one recognizes any of that.” If you are a caregiver – or know someone who is – listen in, share this episode, and help make the invisible labor of caregiving visible.
