Lessons from Giving-Care

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.
