In this powerful episode of the Caregiver Relief Podcast, Diane speaks with Nicole àBeckett and Dr. Shruti Roy, the inspiring co-founders of Hero Generation—a digital platform designed by caregivers, for caregivers. They share their deeply personal caregiving stories, the emotional and logistical challenges they faced, and how those experiences inspired them to build a solution that combines AI, community, and collaboration tools.

Together, they explore:

The realities of caregiving in today’s healthcare system
How Hero Generation helps families manage hospital discharges, medical tasks, and daily responsibilities
The power of anticipatory grief and self-reflection
How AI (through their assistant “Andrea”) offers 24/7 empathetic support
Ways to build a care team and ask for help—without guilt

Whether you're a new caregiver or deep in the journey, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported, and hopeful for what technology can do to lighten the load.
