After her NPR show was canceled some years back, producer and host Yowei Shaw gave herself a new title: “Emotional Investigative Journalist.” She started a podcast called Proxy, where she helps people who are facing unique emotional or personal obstacles by connecting them with a proxy who’s uniquely positioned to help them.
Our host, Brian, recently went on Proxy, and got help with a problem of his own: something he’s been struggling with involving a member of his family.
Here are the caregiving resources from Claudia Drossel.
