Podcasts about caregivers

Episode 5 of Standard Deviation with Oliver Bogler on the Out of Patients podcast feed pulls you straight into the story of Dr Ethan Moitra, a psychologist who fights for LGBTQ mental health while the system throws every obstacle it can find at him.Ethan built a study that tracked how COVID 19 tore through an already vulnerable community. He secured an NIH grant. He built a team. He reached 180 participants. Then he opened an email on a Saturday and learned that Washington had erased his work with one sentence about taxpayer priorities. The funding vanished. The timeline collapsed. His team scattered. Participants who trusted him sat in limbo.A federal court eventually forced the government to reinstate the grant, but the damage stayed baked into the process. Ethan had to push through months of paperwork while his university kept the original deadline as if the shutdown had not happened. The system handed him a win that felt like a warning.I brought Ethan on because his story shows how politics reaches into science and punishes the people who serve communities already carrying too much trauma. His honesty lands hard because he names the fear now spreading across academia and how young scientists question whether they can afford to care about the wrong population.You will hear what this ordeal did to him, what it cost his team, and why he refuses to walk away.RELATED LINKSFaculty PageNIH Grant DetailsScientific PresentationBoston Globe CoverageFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Melanie, mom to 12-year-old Masen, shares the unexpected path to her son's diagnosis with Homocystinuria (HCU) after a routine eye exam revealed something "off." What followed was months of uncertainty, a rare diagnosis few providers had even heard of, a crash course in low-protein diets and metabolic formulas, and two back-to-back eye surgeries to prevent further damage. With gentleness, honesty, and deep advocacy, Melanie describes how they adjusted as a family, how Masen built resilience, and how finding community changed everything. A story of early detection, parent intuition, and the power of connection.

Nel giorno della Giornata internazionale delle persone con disabilità arriva il nuovo Piano nazionale per i diritti, mentre l'Italia invecchia rapidamente e cresce il bisogno di assistenza. Il Piano introduce 66 linee d'azione su accessibilità, salute, lavoro e progetto di vita, con una prima misura contro la violenza sulle donne con disabilità. La ministra Locatelli rivendica semplificazioni e nuove risorse, ma sul territorio sindacati e operatori segnalano ritardi, carenze e costi in aumento. Il nodo più critico resta quello dei caregiver familiari: 7 milioni di persone senza adeguate tutele economiche e previdenziali. La nuova indennità da 400 euro, riservata a Isee molto bassi o a chi non lavora, è considerata insufficiente e troppo restrittiva. Ne abbiamo parlato con: Serena Uccello, Il Sole 24 Ore.Natale caro-aerei, fino a 800 euro voli in ItaliaCon l'avvicinarsi delle festività tornano i forti rincari dei trasporti: voli interni sopra i 500 euro per molte tratte e picchi oltre 800 euro; treni ad alta velocità più cari e carburanti in aumento. Assoutenti denuncia un sistema di pricing guidato dagli algoritmi che nei periodi di alta domanda genera rincari fino al 900%, rendendo difficili gli spostamenti di chi torna al Sud per le feste. Ne abbiamo parlato con: Gabriele Melluso, presidente Assoutenti.Rinnovabili, Legambiente: «Brusco rallentamento in Italia nel 2025. In frenata impianti e potenza installata»Il 2025 registra un forte stop nelle rinnovabili: -27% di nuovi impianti da gennaio a ottobre, potenza installata in calo e produzione elettrica in diminuzione, soprattutto per il crollo dell'idroelettrico. Dopo anni di crescita record, l'Italia rallenta e resta indietro sugli obiettivi 2030, mentre le Comunità energetiche incontrano difficoltà crescenti. Positivo solo il fotovoltaico, che aumenta la produzione grazie a impianti più grandi ed efficienti. Interviene: Stefano Ciafani, presidente Legambiente.Bitcoin volatile: venti contrari dall'AsiaBitcoin torna sotto pressione, scendendo sotto gli 86mila dollari, mentre il mercato crypto risente delle tensioni macro dall'Asia: stretta cinese, tassi giapponesi in rialzo e liquidazioni forzate dopo mesi di correzione. Nonostante la volatilità, la domanda istituzionale del 2025 supera di molto l'offerta post-halving, cambiando la struttura del mercato e rendendolo meno legato ai cicli tradizionali. Gran parte del pessimismo sembra già prezzata, limitando i rischi al ribasso. Ne abbiamo parlato con: Fabio Massellani, Senior Consultant Bitwise.

Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Ken Isaacs Evan Dougoud Diane Chew Tracy Lawrence Interview Quotes: “In my experience, you have yet to fall fully, completely, without reservation into God’s arms and trust Him with everything. Get involved.” - Ken Isaacs “I’m constantly looking for ways to intertwine all the avenues in such a way as to reach people who are in the ditches of life for the purposes of saving lives, reducing suffering, and doing it in Jesus’ name.” - Ken Isaacs “It has a profound impact on me, the way that [God] weaves things together beyond the horizon of our vision.” - Ken Isaacs “God comes through on His promises, but that doesn’t always mean you’re going to have happy endings. What God promises is that He will be with us through the valley of the shadow of death. I find in my most desperate situations is when I most desperately turn to the Lord and seek His guidance.” - Ken Isaacs “I wanted to present that to those experiencing homelessness—by listening to them, listening to their stories, elevating their voice, it could help save thousands of people. God saved me, and I want to help and go to the same for somebody else.” - Evan Dougoud “One of the most powerful things you can provide somebody is your ears. So by listening, by affirming to them, by allowing their voices to be heard, by allowing their testimony to be heard, that really is breaking barriers, but also creating a solution of trust.” - Evan Dougoud “It takes constant practice to look for the blessings, and to stay connected to something bigger than my thoughts and feelings.” - Diane Chew “There are ways we can take care of ourselves, even as we’re taking care of somebody else. It takes intention, it takes willingness, it takes stubbornness, I think, to not go down with the ship.” - Diane Chew “Whatever you’re facing that feels like it’s beyond your ability to cope, the truth is yes it is. But together with your Creator, you will cope and you will be stronger than the storm.” - Diane Chew “Since I was a young kid, I always believed that God had a plan for me and He had great things in store for my life.” - Tracy Lawrence “It seems like the more you do, the more you realize you’re barely scratching the surface. But hopefully you’ll inspire somebody else, somewhere else, to just do our part to help out our fellow man.” - Tracy Lawrence “I think we all have a responsibility, wherever we’re at in life and whatever you can afford to do, to just contribute and help your fellow man out. I think that when God has blessed you, you have a responsibility to share that with the people you come in contact with and to spread a little bit of that love and joy.” - Tracy Lawrence ________________________ Connect with Jesus Calling Instagram Facebook Twitter Pinterest YouTube Website TikTok *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media* Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Chelsea J. Smith walks into a studio and suddenly I feel like a smurf. She's six-foot-three of sharp humor, dancer's poise, and radioactive charm. A working actor and thyroid cancer survivor, Chelsea is the kind of guest who laughs while dropping truth bombs about what it means to be told you're “lucky” to have the “good cancer.” We talk about turning trauma into art, how Shakespeare saved her sanity during the pandemic, and why bartending might be the best acting class money can't buy. She drops the polite bullshit, dismantles survivor guilt with punchline precision, and reminds every listener that grace and rage can live in the same body. If you've ever been told to “walk it off” while your body betrayed you, this one hits close.RELATED LINKS• Chelsea J.

If you've ever fantasized about not attending the gathering, not picking up the phone, or not pretending to be okay for everyone else's comfort, this episode is your permission slip.In this powerful episode, Charlotte gets real about something every caregiver has felt but few say out loud: the need to hide from the world, and the overwhelming guilt that follows. Charlotte explores why rest is repair, not rebellion; why guilt floods in when you try to protect your peace; and how to rewrite the internal script that says your worth depends on your presence.With compassion and clarity, she offers caregivers a lifeline, practical strategies, breathing practices, self-talk rewrites, and boundary-setting scripts to help you opt out without apology.This episode is a sacred exhale. You don't need to earn rest. You don't have to perform wellness. And you're allowed to say, “I just can't this year.”Find your Free Scanxiety Toolkit at https://www.cancercaregiverpodcast.com/tools

At the age of 14, Michaela Janssen Pohl became a caregiver for her mother, who lives with MS. I think most of us can agree that just being a teenager carries with it more than enough challenges. Those adolescent years are the years when just about everything in life starts changing. Imagine adding the responsibilities of being a caregiver to all the other things going on in a 14-year-old girl's life. Michaela joins me this week to explain how she found ways to survive and thrive in what can only be described as a challenging situation for any teenager. We'll also explain why you might want to think a little differently about Giving Tuesday this year. We're sharing all the details about the Phase 2 clinical trial focusing on Moderna's investigational Epstein-Barr vaccine and MS (and we'll explain why that might turn out to be important!)

It is hard to figure out how to take care of yourself when the demands are overwhelming. Watch this video for caregiver support in finding out how you can be a healthy, instead of a codependent caregiver.

Raven Duran joins guest co-host Tina Smith and host Ron Aaron to talk about becoming a new caregiver and navigating the world of caregiving on this edition of Caregiver SOS.

What if the secret to happiness isn't avoiding depression, but using it as a weapon? What if people who feel the deepest sadness can also feel the most intense joy...? Show notes You've been told that mental illness is something to hide. Something to manage quietly or "get over." That's the old way of thinking. And frankly, it's complete bullshit. Furiously Happy shows a new idea: if you can feel crushing sadness, you should also be able to feel crushing happiness. Jenny Lawson doesn't just survive her battles with depression and anxiety. She turns them into weapons of joy. She creates a life so deliberately, furiously happy that it becomes an act of rebellion. "I am furiously happy. It's not a cure for mental illness... it's a weapon, designed to counter it." - Jenny Lawson's approach to mental health Mental illness doesn't stop you from being happy. It can actually make your capacity for joy even stronger when you learn to use your emotional intensity on purpose. •Mental health warriors feeling alone or ashamed of their struggles (spoiler alert: you're not alone and you're definitely not broken) •Caregivers and loved ones who want to understand without saying things like "have you tried yoga?" •Anyone feeling "different" who's tired of pretending to be normal (whatever that means) •Self-advocacy learners ready to stop saying sorry for taking up space in the world Jenny Lawson is a #1 New York Times bestselling author. She somehow convinced the world that her particular brand of chaos counts as "expertise." Known as "The Bloggess," she's won the Audie Award for Best Humor and the NoStigmas Hero Award for mental health advocacy. This is impressive considering she once got lost in her own neighborhood. She's spent over a decade using her platform to remove stigma from mental illness. She's built a community of "magnificent weirdos" who find comfort in her words and questionable life choices.

We're going to open with a bird's eye view of new career opportunities and training as we bring in a panel to talk about Connecticut's own Drone Academy - a pilot program developed in collaboration with The WorkPlace, Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU), and Career Resources to create a technology-oriented career pathway for out-of-school youth, aged 18-24, within the growing unmanned aerial vehicles/drone industry sector.  Then as we hit the final day of National Family Caregivers Month this November, we're circling back with our partners at AARP Connecticut to unpack some key points from the organization's latest report on Family Caregiving. Nearly three out of every 10 Connecticut residents are family caregivers, and the numbers are growing - so stay tuned and learn what you need - or may need to know about this important public health trend. And finally, we have come to understand that high-quality early care and education is one of the most effective, evidence-based ways to support children's long-term success. However, CT Voices' new analysis of ECE data from 2014 to 2024 shows that the system has struggled to meet demand. So, we're bringing in the co-authors of the latest Connecticut Voices for Children 2025 State of Early Childhood report to continue our conversations on this important topic.

When Julia Stalder heard the words ductal carcinoma in situ, she was told she had the “best kind of breast cancer.” Which is like saying you got hit by the nicest bus. Julia's a lawyer turned mediator who now runs DCIS Understood, a new nonprofit born out of her own diagnosis. Instead of panicking and letting the system chew her up, she asked questions the industry would rather avoid. Why do women lose breasts for conditions that may never become invasive? Why is prostate cancer allowed patience while breast cancer gets the knife? We talked about doctors' fear of uncertainty, the epidemic of overtreatment, and what happens when you build a movement while still in the waiting room. Funny, fierce, unfiltered—this one sticks.RELATED LINKS• DCIS Understood• Stalder Mediation• Julia's story in CURE Today• PreludeDx DCISionRT feature• Julia on LinkedInFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Lisa Skinner discusses Alzheimer's care beyond memory loss, emphasizing the importance of "joining their reality" rather than correcting false beliefs. She challenges myths about late-stage awareness and stresses early planning, caregiver self-care, and workplace support as cases are projected to triple by 2050.   TAKEAWAYS Validate emotions and join their reality instead of correcting false beliefs to prevent distress. Establish legal documents and discuss end-of-life wishes early while loved ones can participate. Caregivers must prioritize self-care through support groups and breaks to maintain their health.

  In this heartfelt episode of American Potential, host David From talks with Beka Dowhy, founder of the Caregiver Support Network, about her mission to support family caregivers who often feel unseen and alone. After caring for her mom through multiple sclerosis (MS) alongside her dad, Beka experienced firsthand how isolating caregiving can be — and decided to change that for others. She shares how her organization connects caregivers with prayer partners, emotional support, and practical help like meal deliveries, cleaning services, and home care relief so they can take a breath and care for themselves, too. This inspiring conversation shines a light on the unseen heroes caring for loved ones and offers real solutions for preventing caregiver burnout and building community-based support networks across the country.

Caregiving services for seniors can easily cost more each year than what the average American makes. And health insurers, both government and private, may not provide the coverage people need. That leads many people to step in and do the work for free. But caregivers need to take care of themselves, too. That's something Dawnita Brown knows all too well, as a caregiver to both her parents, and founder of The Binti Circle. It's a group she founded for Black daughters like her who are doing caregiving work.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Alejandra Marquez Janse, with audio engineering by David Greenburg and Valentina Rodriguez Sanchez.

Dr. Rachel Gatlin entered neuroscience with curiosity and optimism. Then came chaos. She started her PhD at the University of Utah in March 2020—right as the world shut down. Her lab barely existed. Her advisor was on leave. Her project focused on isolation stress in mice, and then every human on earth became her control group. Rachel fought through supply shortages, grant freezes, and the brutal postdoc job market that treats scientists like disposable parts. When her first offer vanished under a hiring freeze, she doubled down, rewrote her plan, and won her own NIH training grant. Her story is about survival in the most literal sense—how to keep your brain intact when the system built to train you keeps collapsing.RELATED LINKS• Dr. Rachel Gatlin on LinkedIn• Dr. Gatlin's Paper Preprint• Dr. Eric Nestler on Wikipedia• News Coverage: Class of 2025 – PhD Students Redefine PrioritiesFEEDBACKLike this episode?
