Welcome to my podcast, Lessons from Giving-Care. Being on a care journey with my mother
taught me an invaluable lesson, care-giving is what you do for your loved one; giving-care is
what you do for both of you.
Family care-givers are frequently encouraged to “take care of yourself” with limited strategies for
doing so. During the past 12 years, I’ve learned that the hardest part of my role isn’t performing
tasks and navigating healthcare systems. It’s managing how I feel while caring for my mother
and myself.
Lessons from Giving-Care helps family care-givers enhance their “soft skills” necessary for
addressing the intangible part of caring for a loved one and themselves.
