ABOUT "HEY WOMAN"

Welcome to Hey Woman, a podcast where caregiving, grief, and resilience take center stage. The title is an homage to our matriarch, who chuckled when we greeted her by saying “Hey woman!” Hosted by mother-daughter duo Julie and Cortney, this heartfelt series dives into the joys and challenges of supporting loved ones through life’s most profound moments. With equal parts empathy and humor, Hey Woman celebrates strength, honors legacy, and creates a warm community for anyone navigating the caregiving journey.

WHY WE'RE DOING THIS

Caregiving isn’t just about taking care of someone—it’s about navigating emotions, finding purpose in the chaos, and sometimes wrestling with grief that feels unbearable.

Hey Woman is about the transformative power of sharing these stories and holding space for one another. This podcast is our way of creating connection—a space for caregivers to laugh, cry, and feel seen.
