Lemonada. Caregiving in America is hard work, and it's universal. At some point in each of our lives, we will either need care or take care of someone else. Daddy.

Yeah, I hope. Daddy, I miss you. I miss you, too. How are you? I have a surprise for you. I love surprises.

I'm Yvette Nicole Brown, actress, writer, producer, and you might know me from a little show called Community. But what you might not know is that I care for my dad, Omar, who has Alzheimer's. He's a big part of why I'm hosting this new series. It's a show about caregivers across the country, like me and you or future you, doing this work at every stage of life. When it's hard, you become like the parent for your parent.

I can't dream. I can't see beyond this moment.

I'm I'm like a married widow, honestly, because I am in nowhere land. Parkinson's is a mother fucker.

And when it's joyful. There are jokes, there's beauty, there's also all law.

When you treat it like a gift, you start to take advantage of every little moment.

All those little moments make this a labor of love. But right now, we are squeezed. We're stuck running a Race, We Can't Win. And it doesn't have to be this way.

As a nation, we need to just make it easier to take care of each other.

From Limenada Media and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, this is Squeezed. The series premieres August 21st, wherever you get your podcasts.

There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel. But we hope it's not an oncoming train. No, I know it's not an oncoming train. My light is not an oncoming train.
