I Like to Shake Things Up

How do you navigate the space between being both a sibling and a caregiver?
Many Glass Children struggle with this 'both/and'—and it's something we talk a lot about on our podcast. But how do you actually live it? How do you nurture a relationship of caregiving while also nurturing a relationship of sibling-hood?
Today's guest is shaking things up! Dr. Zara Waldman, PhD, CCC-SLP, is a Glass Child who's learning to navigate exactly this space with her sister. And she's here to explore what it really feels like to hold both roles at once.
Dr Zara Waldman is a sib as well as an associate professor, speech-language therapist, and sibling advocate/researcher. She shares her experiences, research, and supports on Instagram as @heysibsister. Zara is the founder/facilitator of the Southern Connecticut Sibshop, co-lead of the CT Sibs (an adult sibling group), and the Connecticut state representative for the Sibling Leadership Network.
