the "in sickness" podcast was born when...
Allison Breininger and Justin Bajema, two young-ish spousal caregivers living on opposite sides of the country started chatting via Instagram. The two became internet friends as they bonded over all they had in common and in late 2019, Justin suggested that together they should produce six episodes of a podcast about caregiving.
In the years and dozens of episodes since, the two have met online every other Sunday to record and don’t plan on stopping any time soon. Topics covered range from Anticipatory Grief to Caregiving in the Media and include interviews with experts such as a death doula and a palliative care physician.
After two years of recording, the two were thrilled to become friends “in real life” when Allison’s family took a trip to the Pacific Northwest in the summer of 2022.
