On this show, I will be speaking with a variety of guests, including but definitely not limited to caregiving experts, thought leaders, and day to day caregivers like us.
Like many of you, I was just following the groove of my mother’s footsteps as a caregiver when I began caring for my father-in-law who had Parkinson’s disease. Now as a former caregiver, it sometimes feels like I’m learning from the experience in reverse — the lessons keep unfolding as I reflect and learn more about the experiences of others. If we’re meant to be our brother and sister’s keeper, caregiving belongs to all of us as we learn to love with humility.
In this podcast you’ll join me in conversations that aim to help you navigate the expected and unexpected challenges of caregiving. You’ll also learn how this journey can bring joy, purpose, heartbreak, redemption, growth and honor. My hope is that I, along with my guests, provide you with some helpful resources, insights and actionable tips to help ease the impacts of caregiving and help you feel supported in your caregiving journey.
