THE MODERN MIDLIFE
WITH MARIS PASQUALE DORAN
wednesday,
MAY 28 AT 7PM
Join us for an illuminating evening with psychotherapist and author, Maris Pasquale Doran, as she explores the "Sandwich Generation" experience—the often unnamed reality of simultaneously caring for aging parents and children while navigating midlife transitions.
In this intimate discussion moderated by Cate Sheehy, Maris draws from clinical expertise and personal experience to share accessible neuroscience and practical tools that help maintain identity amid competing caregiving demands.
Learn how awareness and intentional choices can transform these challenges into opportunities for growth, followed by an audience Q&A where your specific questions will be addressed.
