Confessions and Connections: The Family Business Story Behind Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver

Celebrating Small Family Businesses

In this episode of 'celebrating small family businesses,' hosts Natalie and JJ, the dynamic sister duo behind the podcast 'Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver,' share their heartfelt journey of growing up in a tight-knit, small-town family in Tennessee.

They discuss their upbringing, accentuated by strong familial bonds and community involvement, which deeply influenced their current roles as podcasters and businesswomen.

The episode highlights their grandparents' impactful legacy as community-minded small business owners, the sisters' seamless transition into launching a successful podcast, and the invaluable lessons learned from working together despite their differing personalities and professional backgrounds.

Through candid conversations, they underscore the importance of passion, authenticity, and maintaining strong family relationships in both personal and professional realms.

We had a very insightful and entertaining conversation with these two dynamic personalities and are proud to share that here.
