About this listen
In this deeply reflective episode of Sandwiched, host Paul H. Richardson Jr. talks with Wayne Freeman Chong, whose caregiving journey began when he was just twenty-one. What started as helping his grandmother soon became a lifelong lesson in empathy, forgiveness, and emotional strength.
Wayne shares the pivotal moment that changed his life; a heated exchange that ended in regret and became the spark for decades of self-discovery and healing. Through this painful memory, Wayne found the humility to study psychology, dedicate his life to understanding caregiver well-being, and explore the emotional realities often left unspoken in families.
As the conversation unfolds, Wayne and Paul unpack what it means to be sandwiched and feeling torn between duty, love, and the impossible decisions that caregiving demands. From his grandmother’s quiet forgiveness to his mother’s battle with cancer and his wife’s pregnancy, Wayne’s story is an honest look at how love and guilt can coexist, and how grace can transform even the hardest moments into growth.
Sandwiched is powered by Tumbleweed, amplifying stories of caregivers, loss, and the deep resilience that keeps families connected through life’s hardest seasons.
