  • Summary

  • When your healthcare system runs on love and unpaid overtime, something's gotta give. This week, we're joined by Liv Mendelsohn, Executive Director of the Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence, to unpack a staggering reality: for every hour of professional healthcare, there are three hours of unpaid care happening behind closed doors. From accidental caregivers who don't realize they've joined the club to burnt-out heroes keeping our healthcare system from collapse, Liv breaks down why Canada needs to step up its game in supporting those who support others. Get ready for some real talk about what happens when half of all Canadian women are caregivers, but the system pretends not to see them. Plus, find out why your coworker's constant "doctor's appointments" might be the tip of a much bigger iceberg.
