Midlife is meant to be a time when we've got life sorted. The kids are more independent, our careers are on track and we've finally found some calm and stability.
But for many of us, a new struggle arises. Caught between caring for our ageing parents while still raising our kids, more and more Australians are part of what's known as "the sandwich generation".
In the new Life Matters series Squished, we hear from aged care experts, parenting educators, carer organisations, grief counsellors and others attempting to navigate the tough road ahead.
You can binge all five episodes of Squished right now on the ABC listen app.
