Sisterpower! Meet Elizabeth’s sisters Susie Morrell and Anne Woodbury

Author: Elizabeth Miller Featured on The Whole Care Network March 12, 2025 Duration: 1:03:18

In this milestone 200th episode of the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast, I’m thrilled to share something extra special with you—I’m introducing two amazing people who mean the world to me: my sisters! You may already be familiar with my older sister, Susie Morrell, who was our mom’s primary caregiver for many years and has been featured on two previous episodes. However, this is the first time you’ll meet my younger sister, Anne Woodbury, who has also been a part of our caregiving journey.


Together, we’ll reflect on our upbringing, caregiving experiences, and what it’s been like to share the care for over a decade. We’ll also dive into our current caregiving roles, including our care plan for our brother Tom, who lives with a developmental disability. Plus, we’ll talk about what self-care really looks like for us now.
