EPISODE DESCRIPTIONRebecca V. Nellis never meant to run a nonprofit. She just never left. Twenty years later, she's still helming Cancer and Careers after a Craigslist maternity-leave temp job turned into a lifelong mission.In this 60-minute doubleheader, we cover everything from theater nerdom and improv rules for surviving bureaucracy, to hanging up on Jon Bon Jovi, to navigating cancer while working—or working while surviving cancer. Same thing.Rebecca's path is part Second City, part Prague hostel, part Upper East Side grant writer, and somehow all of that makes perfect sense. She breaks down how theater kids become nonprofit lifers, how “sample sale feminism” helped shape a cancer rights org, and how you know when the work is finally worth staying for.Also: Cleavon Little. Tap Dance Kid. 42 countries. And one extremely awkward moment involving a room full of women's handbags and one very confused Matthew.If you've ever had to hide your diagnosis to keep a job—or wanted to burn the whole HR system down—this one's for you.RELATED LINKSCancer and CareersRebecca Nellis on LinkedIn2024 Cancer and Careers Research ReportWorking with Cancer Pledge (Publicis)CEW FoundationI'm Not Rappaport – Broadway InfoFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Since July, a new streamlined process in Washington allows family members of children in the foster care system to become licensed caregivers. As first reported in the Imprint, the change allows "kinship caregivers" to receive resources that were initially not available to them. The updates made by the state of Washington come after federal policy changes made under the Biden administration to allow states to come up with their own licensing standards. Ruben Reeves is the assistant secretary of licensing for Washington's Department of Children, Youth and Family. Jeanine Tacchini is the agency's deputy assistant secretary of licensing. They both join us to share what this streamlined process has meant for youth in foster care.

Hi sweet Caregiver, Today we deep dive into the truth about burnout, rest, and God's restoration. After last week's powerful interview with Michelle McCoy, we continue the conversation on what happens when we refuse to slow down — and how the Lord lovingly teaches us to rest. Discover the difference between external rest and true soul rest, how to identify when your stress load is too high, and simple, holistic ways to recover before burnout takes over. From journaling and grounding to stillness and solitude, this episode will help you find peace, energy, and spiritual renewal — the way God designed. If you've been running on empty, this one's for you.

Consideration of those in a caregiving role is often an afterthought in many industries, but creative industries add an extra layer of challenge due to inconsistent income and schedules. While looking for support in her journey of motherhood while maintaining a career in music, Mamas In Music co-founder Tiff Randol noticed a lack of community, and banded together with Mary Leay to create this support system. We connected with Tiff to discuss the events, partnerships and other initiatives Mamas In Music is looking to put forward, how we as an industry can collectively support mothers better, and much more!

Neurologist Ray Dorsey discusses the article "Expanding the Parkinson's universe of care for patients, caregivers, clinicians, and communities." In this episode, Ray reimagines Parkinson's care through a cosmic analogy, with patients as the sun at the center and caregivers, specialists, technologies, and advocacy networks orbiting around them. He highlights challenges such as access barriers, stigma, and fragmented gatekeeper systems, and proposes a hub-based model that colocates interdisciplinary specialists, integrates research with care, and emphasizes bidirectional relationships between patients and providers. Ray also explores how technologies like telemedicine and wearables serve as satellites to extend care access. Listeners will gain insight into how this expanded model could transform Parkinson's treatment and support for millions worldwide. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Darlene Fuchs as guest to the show.   About Darlene Fuchs: Darlene Fuchs's writing is shaped by grief and the kind of love that doesn't let go. Her memoir, Get In The Boat, began as a vow to her father and became a raw, clear-eyed account of staying when everything else falls away. She gives voice to the ache behind closed doors—and to the quiet kind of love that keeps showing up, even when no one sees it.   About "Get In The Boat":   Richard didn't just watch his wife disappear—he lived it. Dementia stripped Gail down memory by memory, until she became a ghost inside the body he still kissed goodnight. He stayed. Through the blank stares, the violent confusion, the heartbreak on repeat. Then came the gut punch no one sees coming: their great-grandson.   A brain tumor. Terminal.    Another slow-motion goodbye. And just as the grief settled, COVID slammed the door shut. No visitors. No help. Just Richard—grief rotting in one room, and a slow death unraveling in the other.   Get In The Boat is not a soft-focus memoir. It's raw. It's real. It's what love looks like when memory is gone, hope is thin, and staying feels like breaking.   Because sometimes love looks like hell. And you walk through it anyway.

One of the things that doesn't get enough attention when it comes to living with incontinence is caregiving. Those who assist their loved ones managing their symptoms - the emotional ones as well as the physical ones - often don't get the support they need, and that can take a tremendous toll on their own wellbeing. Today's guest is Lori Mika, a certified dementia practitioner and a passionate caregiver herself as well as an account executive for Tranquility Incontinence Products, who shares with us about the things you can do to flourish in the caregiving role. More information about Tranquility Incontinence Products can be found at TranquilityProducts.com.For more information about the National Association for Continence, click here, and be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.Music:Rainbows Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/CARER offers stylish, reusable underwear that feels just like your favorite regular briefs.

If you look at the numbers behind incontinence in women, it's hard to believe just how big an issue it is. Incontinence affects more women than diabetes, breast cancer and heart disease, but it doesn't get the attention it deserves.

After Philippa Ward's five-month-old son, Thomas, suffered infantile spasms, he was soon diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex—a rare genetic disorder that causes noncancerous tumors to form on various organs, including the brain. Thomas experiences near-daily seizures, cannot communicate verbally, and, due to delayed motor skills, often requires the use of a wheelchair. We spoke to Ward about her journey as the mother of a child diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex, the challenges posed by the condition's complexities, and how she found both a community of support and her own voice as an advocate.

Sally Wolf is back in the studio and this time we left cancer at the door. She turned 50, brought a 1993 Newsday valedictorian article as a prop, and sat down with me for a half hour of pure Gen X therapy. We dug into VHS tracking, Red Dawn paranoia, Michael J. Fox, Bette Midler, and how growing up with no helmets and playgrounds built over concrete somehow didn't kill us.We laughed about being Jewish kids in the suburbs, the crushes we had on thirty-year-olds playing teenagers, and what it means to hit 50 with your humor intact.

Send Cathy a text:)Are you tired of hearing “just take care of yourself” and wondering what that even means as a caregiver? In this episode of The Caregiver Cup Podcast, we're busting the myth that self-care is all about bubble baths and spa days—and redefining what it really looks like for you.After eight years of caregiving, I've learned the hard way that one-size-fits-all self-care doesn't work. Real caregiver self-care is practical, personal, and purposeful—and it changes with each season of your journey. I'll share my own stories of what didn't work (like manicures that left me still exhausted) and what actually helped me refill my cup (like journaling at Kathy's House or a slow walk after a long hospital day).You'll walk away with a simple framework—the 3 Ps of a Full Cup—to help you create a self-care plan that feels doable, sustainable, and right for you.

Here we review ashwagandha a nutritional supplement that has plausible mechanisms for slowing ALS, promising pre-clinical evidence, and a reasonable safety profile.  There is one person with ALS who experienced a reversal of symptoms on a cocktail of treatments that included ashwagandha.  Cases like this are difficult to interpret as there can be multiple explanations for a person experiencing an ALS reversal.  We have not found any other cases suggesting improvement on this product.  We hope to see the data from the completed phase 2 trial soon.

On this episode Dan is joined by Seth Hyman, Co-Founder and Partner at JVS Health. Together, they explore the goals of the GUIDE model, why CMS is prioritizing dementia care, and how health systems can prepare to implement and benefit from this transformative initiative.

Some stories are spoken. Others are lived so powerfully they outshine words. Karen Wilson joins us to share how a 17-year caregiving journey with her mother—through cancer, stroke, COPD, and chronic pain—became a living curriculum for resilience, presence, and protective love. When a stroke silenced her mother's speech, gestures and energy did the talking, teaching Karen to pour hope, choose her words with care, and treat gratitude as a daily state, not a polite reaction.We go deep on the mindset that sustains caregivers and anyone navigating long seasons of stress: how to make a life while making a living, why productivity can't replace purpose, and the role of consistent, simple wellness habits that actually stick. Karen opens her toolkit for advocacy inside hospitals and rehabs—health care proxies, durable power of attorney, reading treatment plans, and partnering with social workers—so you can push for better outcomes without burning bridges. If you've ever felt dismissed by “baseline” talk or boxed in by algorithms, this conversation offers language and strategy to stay strong and collaborative.Journaling threads it all together. Karen shares how themed journaling—anchored by words like Enough or Not Yet—helped her step back from crisis, process emotion, and return to presence. It's a practical, accessible way to manage caregiver burnout, reduce anxiety, and reclaim clarity. Along the way we reflect on loss, legacy, and the seeds mothers plant that keep blooming long after they're gone. Expect tangible tools, honest encouragement, and a gentle push to redefine success around love, laughter, and learning.If you're a caregiver, midlife listener, or anyone rebuilding after hardship, this one is for you.

Dr. Nikki Maphis didn't just lose a grant. She lost a lifeline. An early-career Alzheimer's researcher driven by her grandmother's diagnosis, Nikki poured years into her work—only to watch it vanish when the NIH's MOSAIC program got axed overnight. Her application wasn't rejected. It was deleted. No feedback. No score. Just gone.In this episode, Oliver Bogler pulls back the curtain on what happens when politics and science collide and promising scientists get crushed in the crossfire. Nikki shares how she's fighting to stay in the field, teaching the next generation, and rewriting her grant for a world where even the word “diversity” can get you blacklisted. The conversation is raw, human, and maddening—a reminder that the real “war on science” doesn't happen in labs. It happens in inboxes.RELATED LINKS:• Dr. Nikki Maphis LinkedIn page• Dr. Nikki Maphis' page at the University of New Mexico• Vanguard News Group coverage• Nature article• PNAS: Contribution of NIH funding to new drug approvals 2010–2016FEEDBACK:Like this episode?
