Who cares for the caregiver?
In this powerful and tender conversation, Mandy Barr—President Carter’s great-niece and Engagement Specialist at the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers—opens a door into the heart of caregiving in America today.
With raw honesty and lived experience—as a caregiver, military spouse, and mother of a medically complex child—Mandy Barr brings depth, resilience, and grace to a role millions carry but few see.
She also brings us something rare: a loving, behind-the-scenes portrait of Rosalynn Carter—her fierce compassion, unwavering presence, and the quiet power that shaped lives and policy.
This is more than a podcast episode—it’s an oral history, a tribute, and a reminder that care is strength, legacy is action, and the human experience begins with being seen.
