Podcasts about caregivers

On this episode of Jesus Listens: Stories of Prayer, we’ll hear from special needs mom and caregiver Jessica Ronne, who shares about life with her son Lucas. After finding out her yet-to-be born son had a stroke in utero, Jessica faced the reality of caring for a child with profound disabilities. On top of this, her husband would be diagnosed with brain cancer, and ultimately would pass away. Alone with four children to raise, Jessica recounts her survival story, and how her understanding of the needs of caretakers and those they care for led her to start her nonprofit, The Lucas Project.

To the families of cancer caregivers, this is what we need you to understand. When caregiving enters the picture, family dynamics shift in ways no one expects.  In this episode, Charlotte speaks directly to the family members who care but don't always know how to help. It's a vulnerable, eye-opening message about what caregiving really demands and how family can show up in ways that truly matter.  Caregivers, share it with your people. Let it say what you've been carrying in silence. Find your free Scanxiety Toolkit at https://www.cancercaregiverpodcast.com/tools

In our self-development journey, the only way for one to grow from darkness or negativity, to the light or positivity is through achala (steadiness). In order for us to follow through on recognizing what is right, we need to create a clear and steady mind that is not overwhelmed but is instead inspired. In this season of Live Vedanta, we are sharing insights on Courageous Caregiving through Vibhishana Gita. These discourses are from our Parenting Culture community, a space for seekers striving to be better in their caregiving responsibilities through the practice of self-development. You can always catch up on the previous episode.For those on the journey of self-development, Chinmaya Mission Niagara provides a community forum to listen, reflect, and contemplate. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for more updates about upcoming live workshops, courses, and more! Chinmaya Mission is an international non-profit organization working to transform individuals through the knowledge of Vedanta.

As caregivers, we often pour out until there's nothing left—but what happens when the one collapsing is the caregiver herself? My longtime friend Nancy Comish joined me for a brutally honest conversation about her journey through caregiver burnout, medical overload, and physical decline. She was overmedicated, under-rested, and emotionally drowning. Her husband, Craig—who knows his way around a hospital system—raised the alarm. I echoed it later on her front porch. But Nancy made the call. She read the warnings on the prescriptions. She faced what those pills were doing to her. And then she did something most people don't: she changed. Nancy's story isn't about being rescued. It's about rescue through resolve. With courage, humor, and a clarity forged in pain, she chose life. She shed nearly 40 pounds, got off 15 medications, and took back her health and her soul. This is for every caregiver who's run out of gas and every loved one who doesn't know what to say. It's a story of conviction, love, tough truth—and the grace of starting again. “If you don't know what to say to a family caregiver, don't worry about it — I do!” - Peter Rosenberger A Caregiver's Companion - in bookstores 8/20/2025

Ronica Roberson, managing editor of the Entertainment Guide, highlights some of the upcoming events in the area.

Dasha Kiper joins host Ron Aaron and co-host Carol Zernial to talk about impatience from caregivers on this edition of Caregiver SOS.

Nicole Scott and her husband, Keith, worked at the same Ohio hospital.  When Keith noticed abdominal pain in his left side, he thought it was muscle-related because of the physical nature of his job.  The pain radiated to his groin, then what had been random occurrences of the pain became more frequent.   Nicole urged Keith to seek urgent care.  An emergency room doctor called for a CT scan, thinking Keith had at worst, a hernia.  However, the CT scan revealed a mass on Keith's kidney.  An MRI and partial nephrectomy resulted in a diagnosis of papillary renal cell carcinoma, a form of kidney.   Nicole and Keith were shocked by this diagnosis, but after she got over the shock, Nicole assumed the role of Keith's caregiver.   She said without question, the toughest part of her caregiver experience was the emotional piece.  At first, there was a tremendous amount of fear and depression, as she thought Keith might not survive, but all the while she told herself she was caring for the love of her life, had to put up a positive front and be a source of encouragement for her husband.   Nicole said there was some at-home care involved, but much of her duties consisted of making sure that Keith made it to all of his doctor visits, most notably the successful surgical procedure and post-treatment care.   Caregiving can be a round-the-clock challenge, and Nicole said she came close to suffering from caregiver burnout, but she always did what needed to be done, at all times realizing hers was a high-stakes task.   By way of advice, Nicole Scott says to anyone suddenly finding themselves in the role of caregiver to take a deep breath and never lose hope.  She says a caregiver needs to take of themselves.  She says it is “not selfish” to ask a friend to pitch in or to make time for some ‘me time,' as that will make a caregiver a better caregiver.   Additional Resources:   The Kidney Cancer Association: https://www.kidneycancer.org

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Kitty Norton as guest to the show. About Kitty Norton: In 2016, Kitty Norton left her job as an NBC assistant editor in Los Angeles, for her hometown of Portland, Oregon, to walk, stumble, crawl with her dementia mother to death's door. While doing so, she authored the dementia caregiver blog Stumped Town Dementia, writing tales of dementia life which resonated deeply with readers around the world. When her mother, Gloria, moved on to her next adventure in March of 2021, Kitty created and directed the dementia family caregiver documentary Wine, Women, & Dementia, to celebrate family caregivers and let them know they are worthy of been seen, heard, and honored alongside their person living with dementia. About "Wine, Women, & Dementia": Wine, Women, & Dementia tells the tale of dementia life through the lens of these family caregivers who strive to accept the beauty and the brutality, the hilarious and the horrific - for themselves and their dementia person. And in a system that offers few resources or support, they find community, champion each other, and learn what it means to celebrate LIFE on the long road to death.

Michelle Andrews built a career inside the pharma machine long before anyone knew what “DTC” meant. She helped launch Rituxan and watched Allegra commercials teach America how to ask for pills by name. Then she landed in the cancer fun house herself, stage 4 breast cancer, and learned exactly how hollow all the “journey” slide decks feel when you're the one circling the drain.We talk about what happens when the insider becomes the customer, why pill organizers and wheat field brochures still piss her off, and how she fired doctors who couldn't handle her will to live. You'll hear about the dawn of pharma advertising, the pre-Google advocacy hustle, and what she wants every brand team to finally admit about patient experience.If you've ever wondered who decided windsurfing was the best way to sell allergy meds—or what happens when you stop caring if you make people uncomfortable—listen up.RELATED LINKSMichelle Andrews on LinkedInTrinity Life Sciences – Strategic AdvisoryJade Magazine – Ticking Time Bombs ArticleNIHCM Foundation – Breast Cancer StoryFEEDBACKLike this episode?

We know to always start with the ABC's in emergency situations. Even as a caregiver we get into routines that can help us prioritize our time.

In this episode, we often overlook the financial challenges of being a caregiver, from the cost of medical care to the impact on personal income. Lovely shares the budget strains of being a caregiver for her mother  and what steps one can take to manage the financial side of it. We also cover other resources and strategies that can help caregivers.  From reduced work hours and lost income to unexpected out-of-pocket expenses, we discuss the hidden costs associated with caring for a loved one.

In the second installment of our special maternal health series, we continue the conversation with Dr. Erin Graham, Deputy Executive Director at the National Nurse-Led Care Consortium. Erin shares how her public health background and deep ties to community nursing helped shape a doula training initiative that empowers former Nurse-Family Partnership clients to become doulas. We discuss how client feedback and nurse insight sparked a two-part approach: offering doula services and training former clients to provide culturally responsive care. Erin highlights the value of partnerships, the importance of workforce diversity, and how community-based efforts like this can improve maternal health outcomes and expand career opportunities.

In this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I reflect on a powerful moment at home: while a news anchor questioned God's goodness in the face of tragedy, my wife Gracie—still recovering from her 98th surgery—shouted a truth she learned from our friend Joni Eareckson Tada that's sustained us for decades: “He allows what He hates to achieve what He loves.” We explored how that statement ties into the doctrine of divine concurrence, how caregivers experience fear, guilt, and resentment, and how well-meaning but poor theology—especially in some corners of the church—can make things worse. I asked a pointed question I've carried for years: Why do faith healers wear glasses? We also continued our hymn series with “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty,” focusing on the line: “Ponder anew what the Almighty will do.” That phrase has become more than poetry—it's a daily touchstone for those of us facing hard realities. I closed with an update on our prosthetic limb outreach in West Africa, how Gracie's vision continues to help others walk, and how you can be a part of it. If you're weary or uncertain, this episode is a reminder: Ponder anew what the Almighty will do. RELEASE DATE 8-20-2025 PRE-ORDER NOW!

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome back Marianne Sciucco as our guest to the show.   About Marianne Sciucco:   Marianne Sciucco is not a nurse who writes but a writer who happens to be a nurse, using her skills and experience to create stories that bear witness to the humanity in all of us. She writes contemporary, women's and young adult fiction.     A lover of words and books, she studied the craft of writing as an English major at the University of Massachusetts at Boston and worked for a time as a newspaper reporter in New England. She eventually became a registered nurse to avoid poverty.     With more than 20-years' experience as a staff nurse and case manager, she's worked with countless families dealing with issues related to aging, elder care, Alzheimer's, and nursing home placement. In 2002, she put the two together and began writing about the intricate lives of people struggling with health and family issues. She published her debut novel, Blue Hydrangeas, an Alzheimer's love story, in 2013 to glowing reviews.     This book led her to become a co-founder and director of AlzAuthors, the global community of authors writing about Alzheimer's and dementia from personal experience to light the way for others. She is podcast producer and host for Untangling Alzheimer's and Dementia, an AlzAuthors Podcast.      Marianne has written an award-winning prequel to Blue Hydrangeas called Christmas at Blue Hydrangeas and a second prequel, A Wedding at Blue Hydrangeas. She is the author of Swim Season, a young adult novel based on her 11-years' experience as a Swim Mom in club, high school, and collegiate swimming.     She has also written several short stories, including Ino's Love, Collection, and Birthday Party.     All of her work is available in ebook, audiobook, and paperback.     When not writing she works as a campus nurse at a community college in New York's Hudson Valley.     About "A Wedding at Blue Hydrangeas":   Five days until the Fourth of July wedding of her dreams! Sara Harmon, the heart and soul behind the charming Blue Hydrangeas bed and breakfast on Cape Cod, is determined to orchestrate the perfect celebration for her son, David, and his bride, Anne. This is the dream wedding she's always envisioned! But, as the big day draws closer, a flurry of mishaps threatens to unravel her meticulously planned reception.     Adding to the delightful chaos is the unexpected stay of the undeniably affable but ever-so-demanding Walter Willoughby. And if that weren't enough, she must contend with the well-meaning but persnickety ladies of the garden club, whose opinions bloom as profusely as her hydrangeas.     While she scrambles to create the perfect wedding celebration, Sara carries a quiet ache in her heart. Can she put aside her own sorrow to fully celebrate David and Anne's happiness? And just how long will the unfortunate but delightful Mr. Willoughby be gracing Blue Hydrangeas with his presence?     You're invited to the wedding of the season, where love, laughter, and a touch of mayhem are all part of the special day at Blue Hydrangeas.

In our third week with our couple in their 80s, we consider options to obtain the most LTC benefits from annuities. If you already own annuities, check for a Chronic Illness rider or LTC rider.  If there is one, read it carefully as different rules apply to access enhanced benefits for care.  If you need help understanding your rider, ask me for guidance Some pay the LTC benefits tax-free and some don't.   Some require your need to be permanent, some don't. Some will enhance benefits for both cognitive and physical needs, and some don't. If you own an annuity (non-IRA) with a good amount of earnings, it can be repositioned to an annuity that can pay potentially three times the account value of the annuity, or more, tax-free when used for care.  This eliminates all the taxable gains your current annuity has earned over the years. If your annuity IS your LTC plan, there are wiser ways to use it than simply withdrawing the earnings and paying taxes on the gains. Schedule with me to learn more

Ever wonder why conventional medicine seems to treat symptoms rather than causes? Dr. Thomas Lodi pulls back the curtain on a revolutionary approach to understanding health and disease that could transform your healing journey.At the heart of Dr. Lodi's philosophy is a fundamental reframing: what mainstream medicine calls "cancer" is actually chronically fermenting cells (CFCs) – cells that have lost 60% of their mitochondrial function due to accumulated toxicity. This isn't just semantic wordplay; it completely shifts our understanding from a mysterious, frightening disease to a logical biological adaptation that can be systematically addressed.The conversation reveals the shocking prevalence of parasites in chronic disease states – from dental infections to tumor development. Dr. Lodi shares compelling cases, including one where a patient's "prostate cancer" completely resolved after a parasite cleanse expelled numerous worms from his body. These connections, largely ignored by conventional medicine, provide powerful alternative treatment pathways using medications like ivermectin and fenbendazole that target both parasites and CFCs by blocking critical metabolic pathways.Perhaps most valuable is Dr. Lodi's comprehensive healing framework: eliminating toxicity sources (including dental problems), cleansing through colonics and lymphatic therapies, restoring proper cellular nutrition, and addressing the ofSend us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

Matt Bair and Ryan Hedrick get real about what a higher power means in recovery. They chat about how caregivers can really tune in to the spiritual side of healing, not just the stuff you see on the surface. Sometimes it’s hard to understand what your loved one is going through, especially when it comes to faith or belief, but Matt and Ryan break it down in a way that’s easy to get. They talk about how leaning on something bigger than yourself can give strength when recovery gets tough, and how caregivers can use that understanding to build stronger connections and support their people better. If you’re helping someone through addiction, this episode is full of honest talk and practical ideas that can make a big difference. Resources You can find us on X and Instagram: @sobriety_pod.

Dr. Anne Marie Morse walks into the studio like a one-woman Jersey Broadway show and leaves behind the best damn TED Talk you've never heard. She's a neurologist, sleep medicine doc, narcolepsy expert, founder of D.A.M.M. Good Sleep, and full-time myth buster in a white coat. We talk about why sleep isn't a luxury, why your mattress does matter, and how melatonin is the new Flintstones vitamin with a marketing budget. We unpack the BS around sleep hygiene, blow up the medical gaslighting around “disorders,” and dig into how a former aspiring butterfly became one of the loudest voices for patient-centered science. Also: naps, kids, burnout, CPAPs, co-sleeping, airport pods, the DeLorean, and Carl Sagan. If you think you're getting by on five hours of sleep and vibes, you're not. This episode will make you want to take a nap—and then call your doctor.RELATED LINKSdammgoodsleep.com: https://www.dammgoodsleep.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-marie-morse-753b2821/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dammgoodsleepDocWire News Author Page: https://www.docwirenews.com/author/anne-marie-morseSleep Review Interview: https://sleepreviewmag.com/practice-management/marketing/word-of-mouth/sleep-advocacy-anne-marie-morse/Geisinger Bio: https://providers.geisinger.org/provider/anne-marie-morse/756868SWHR Profile: https://swhr.org/team/anne-marie-morse-do-faasm/FEEDBACKLike this episode?

The Caregiver's Journal hosted by Lance A. Slatton with Cindy (PT) & Christina (ST) Hardin-Weiss.   The Caregiver's Journal is the show where we are sharing the caregiving experiences, stories, and wisdom of family caregivers.   Chapter 14 - "Caregiver Support":   About Heidi Lee Cross:   Heidi Lee Cross is a North London-based copywriter, poet, and caregiver. She shares a home with her partner, 12-year-old son, and their cherished dog Bailey. After graduating with a BA Hons Degree in Drama & Theatre Arts in 1996, Heidi embarked on a television career that spanned two decades.   Starting as an intern with Planet 24's The Big Breakfast, she progressed through roles as a runner, researcher, bulletin presenter, and eventually studio and location producer across various television networks. Her passion for writing led her to transition into a successful copywriting career. In 2023, Heidi published a poignant collection of poems about parenthood titled Mum of a Boy.   Her caregiving journey began in 2017 after her father's unexpected passing, which left her to support her mother as she faced early cognitive decline and an Alzheimer's diagnosis. This deeply personal experience inspired her second book, Milk Tulips, a blend of stories, poetry, practical advice, and insights. The book serves as a companion for caregivers navigating the complexities of dementia, especially those raising young children at the same time. Heidi hopes her work provides comfort and encouragement to those facing similar challenges. (both books available on Amazon in hardback, paperback and for Kindle).   About Marielle Molette:   Marielle Molette is a projects officer with an NHS and Social Care background, complemented by her expertise in French and Translation Studies. She lives in North London with her husband and two sons. Her most recent role as a commissioning officer for Barnet Council allowed her to use her skills to lead on various initiatives, including the national Changing Places Toilets campaign. This initiative ensures the provision of fully accessible toilets for individuals with significant disabilities, equipped with specialised facilities such as hoists and adult-sized changing tables, offering dignity and independence to those who need it most.   Passionate about creating positive change and improving the lives of others, Marielle has been a dedicated advocate and caregiver for her mother, who has lived with Alzheimer's for the past 10 years. Her journey inspired her participation in a video campaign by the Royal Free Trust, where she shared her experiences caring for her mum. This initiative aimed to improve outcomes for dementia patients in hospitals, raising awareness about the unique challenges they face, advocating for better care solutions.
