Podcasts about caregiving

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.

Caregiving is the most universal of human acts. But also one of the most invisible. While caring for a child, parent or loved one can be meaningful, and life defining, it can also be exhausting and life breaking. Drawing on her groundbreaking research on baby's brains, UC Berkeley psychologist and philosopher Alison Gopnik is leading a multidisciplinary project to better understand the social science of caregiving with hopes of translating those insights into practical policies. Gopnik and policymaker Anne-Marie Slaughter join us to talk about how rethinking our approach to caregiving and how we support care providers, could lead to a better, more functional society. Guests: Alison Gopnik, professor of psychology and affiliate professor of philosophy, UC Berkeley; author, "The Gardener and the Carpenter: What the New Science of Child Development Tells Us About the Relationship Between Parents and Children" Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO of New America, a non-profit think tank; author of "Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family" Learn more about your ad choices.

Let's talk about the most essential job that no one wants to call a job: the work done inside the home. Parenting. Caregiving. Running a household. It's all real work — valuable, skilled, and foundational. And yet, it's often dismissed, devalued, and definitely unpaid. This week, we're going all in on the fight to change that narrative. Nicole is joined by historian and professor Emily Callaci, whose latest book Wages for Housework: The Feminist Fight Against Unpaid Labor uncovers the radical movement that dared to ask: what if we paid people for domestic labor? What if the backbone of our economy — caregiving and home-making — was finally treated like the work it actually is? We unpack the historical, political, and economic forces that keep unpaid labor invisible, and what it means to truly value the labor that happens in homes across the world. This episode is fiery, informed, and long overdue. Because here's the truth: without unpaid labor, nothing else works.

Today, poet and author Cleo Childs shares the layered, emotional story of losing her mother Candace to early-onset Alzheimer's. Cleo was only 21 when her mom was diagnosed — a time when most people are still figuring out their own path. Instead, she became a caregiver. What followed was a years-long journey through denial, frustration, grace, and grief, as Cleo learned to navigate her mother's decline while grappling with her own identity.Through poetry, humor, and reflection, Cleo brings a refreshing honesty to what it means to love and lose someone slowly. She talks about her mom's quiet strength, her own early misunderstanding of that gentleness, and the eventual clarity that came too late. Cleo also opens up about the perfectionism she inherited, the patience she had to learn, and the guilt that lingers after a loss like this.This conversation is full of heart — and levity. From anthropomorphic sticker planners to s'mores preferences, Cleo and Nick find space for joy even in the heavy moments. Whether you're a caregiver, a grieving adult child, or someone who just appreciates a story told with depth and wit, this episode will stay with you long after it ends. GIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS!

Bible Discussion: Even though the Bible doesn't use the exact word "caregiver," it talks a lot about helping others. A caregiver is someone who takes care of people. They help with things like their body, mind, feelings, and even their spirit. This can be for people who are sick, elderly, a widow, have disabilities, etc. Being a caregiver is more than just normal everyday tasks. One day, all of us will have to decide. We might need to choose if we will: Be a caregiver Help a caregiver Let someone help us when we need it Or, choose to not help at all When that time comes, will you be ready to answer? In other words, are you IN or are you OUT?

After five months in a hospital bed, Gracie came home—hooked to drains, fragile, and unable to sit up for more than a few minutes. I pulled her out of the truck, and just as we were about to head inside, she stopped. Eyes closed. Face tilted upward. “Oh… that feels wonderful.” It wasn't a miracle. It was a warm summer mountain breeze. But when you've been breathing hospital air for nearly half a year, that breeze feels like Eden. The cool of the day. In Hebrew: רוּחַ הַיּוֹם (ruach hayom)—the wind of the day, the gentle breath of God that walked with Adam and Eve through their brokenness. That's what this episode is about. Not just a hymn. Not just a breeze. But the presence of God showing up when suffering suffocates. I also talk candidly about a hard truth for many caregivers: “Lord, would You please just take them home?” That's not a death wish. That's not despair. That's faith reaching for mercy. How Great Thou Art belongs on the front line of every caregiver's hymnbook. That's why it's part of my new series: 30 Hymns Every Caregiver Should Know. Because sometimes your theology needs melody—when words fail and your soul forgets the tune of hope.

Caregiving is one of the most important acts of love you can give someone. But we don't always get to choose when and how we take on the role. And while it can be intimate, and rewarding, it can also be tough. Chris Durrance tackles these themes in the PBS documentary "Caregiving."

What does it mean to be a caregiver? And where is God when the journey feels like one long, unending dirt road? In this special episode, Peter Rosenberger defines the true heart of caregiving—not as a job, but as a calling to stand between someone's chronic impairment and even worse disaster. Through the lens of his 40-year journey, Peter unpacks the metaphor of mining for gold amid the dirt of trauma, exhaustion, and despair. He shares the unforgettable story of Gracie singing the Doxology moments after her second leg amputation—and how praise isn't a luxury but a lifeline. Peter also launches a new series: 30 Hymns Every Christian Should Know, starting with Holy, Holy, Holy—tracing its history, theology, and meaning for weary hearts. Joined by Gracie for the final segment, this episode ends with a moving reminder: Where He is... is home. ✨ Scriptures, songs, and stories to strengthen caregivers—right when they need it most. NEW BOOK - Order today!   https://a.co/d/9L8KoFx

Nearly all of us will need help at some point in our lives with daily tasks, like bathing or housekeeping, whether it's because of aging or an injury. Some of us will be able to rely on family members for help, but not everyone has that luxury. That's where in-home caregivers come into play, but for years, Idaho has struggled to find enough workers to provide these essential in-home care services.

Caregiving exposes something most of us never see coming: Our thinking is broken — and it always has been. Yes, caregiving brings exhaustion, stress, and crisis. But the real problem runs far deeper than circumstances. The root issue traces all the way back to Eden. When Adam sinned, God pronounced: “Cursed is the ground because of you.” (Genesis 3:17) The dirt beneath his feet was broken because of sin. But if even the ground was cursed, how much more the mind that led Adam into rebellion? "If the very ground was cursed because of sin, how much more so are our minds?" That's not poetry — that's theology. And it's the daily reality of caregivers everywhere. Caregiving Doesn't Break Your Mind — It Exposes the One You Already Had We assume we're thinking clearly. We assume our instincts are reliable. But Scripture says otherwise: “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” (Proverbs 14:12) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5) “Set your minds on things above, not on things that are on earth.” (Colossians 3:2) “Be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” (Romans 12:2) Our thinking isn't neutral — it's tainted by sin. Total depravity means sin didn't just touch our behavior; it poisoned our reasoning. And caregiving simply turns up the heat, forcing our broken minds into the spotlight. Left to ourselves, our minds write checks our souls can't cash. Why “Just Trust Your Gut” Is Dangerous Advice One of the cruelest lines caregivers hear is: “Just trust your gut.” No. Don't. Your gut is tired. Your gut is scared. Your gut is sinful. Even David knew better: “Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24) The problem isn't just out there. The problem is in here. Where's the Hope? The answer isn't in “trying harder” to think better. The answer is surrender. “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 2:5) Christ, who lived perfectly, offers us His mind — not simply as a theological concept, but as a practical necessity for caregivers in crisis. You're not doomed to your own instincts. In Christ, you have clarity your flesh can't produce. Caregiving isn't about becoming better thinkers — it's about becoming better surrenderers. Bottom Line If sin could corrupt the ground beneath Adam's feet, you can be sure it corrupted the mind that led him there. The sooner we admit our thinking is compromised, the sooner we can lean fully on the mind of Christ.

In this deeply moving episode of the Holistic Wealth Podcast, I shared lessons from my father's death, my personal story of caregiving, and renewed purpose - a bold new mission to reach one billion people with the life-changing message of Holistic Wealth.On April 26th, I lost my father—I was also his primary caregiver. As part of the sandwich generation, I juggled the emotional and physical demands of caregiving while continuing to care for my children, maintain my professional life, and manage my own grief. A 2019 AARP report revealed that 23% of caregivers say caregiving has made their own health worse.60% of caregivers report depression or anxiety.And 78% of caregivers use their own savings or income to cover care-related expenses.1 in 4 adults is part of the sandwich generation. In the days and weeks following my father's death, I revisited lessons outlined in Holistic Wealth as well as the Holistic Wealth mindset powerful lessons to help create a life of balance, financial security, and emotional resilience—factors that science proves can be beneficial to those in the sandwich generation. In this episode of the Holistic Wealth Podcast, we explore the powerful connection between Holistic Wealth, care-giving and the sandwich generation.  Resources Used In This Episode:Holistic Wealth (Expanded and Updated): 36 Life Lessons To Help You Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial FreedomHolistic Wealth Personal Workbook by Keisha BlairThe Certified Holistic Wealth Consultant Program Holistic Wealth and the Sandwich Generation CrisisIn 2021, family caregivers in the U.S. provided an estimated 36 billion hours of unpaid care – work that AARP valued at approximately $600 billion. Studies have found that family caregivers often suffer career penalties as well as impacts on retirement over their lifetimes in lost wages and retirement benefits, especially for women dropping out of the workforce.Globally, the “care economy” is enormous – and often undervalued. According to the International Labor Organization, about 381 million people worked in paid care jobs in 2018, representing 11.5% of all global employment. Close to 2 billion people globally – are performing care work unpaid, often as full-time caregivers for family members.

I love talking with interesting people doing interesting things—especially when what they're building impacts those of us in the caregiving world. That's why I sat down with Dr. Severance McLaughlin, the CEO of DeLorean AI. His team is using artificial intelligence to predict serious health events—like heart attacks, mental health crises, or hospitalizations—before they happen. As someone who's spent four decades in the thick of caregiving, I've had to be more than a husband. I've had to be the historian, the advocate, and often the one holding the entire narrative together. But what if that burden could be shared? What if technology could actually lighten the load—and even save lives in the process? This conversation dives into chronic pain, suicide risk in veterans, dialysis, depression, and the future of precision healthcare. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the medical system—or like you're the only one keeping track—this one's worth your time. Lean in and listen. Peter Rosenberger is the host of Hope for the Caregiver, the nation's largest broadcast for family caregivers. After four decades of caregiving, he's learned a few things the hard way—and shares them with heart, humor, and hymns.

And we definitely don't get told what it means to carry someone you love through the hardest, slowest, most beautiful goodbye.

Zach continues his conversation with clinical psychologist Dr. Shannon Curry for a vulnerable and intellectually engaging conversation that blends personal storytelling, relationship science, and unexpected insight. Shannon opens up about how her own relationship defied her expectations, thanks to what she learned from psychologist Tai Tashiro's research on the three personality traits that lead to lasting happiness. They dive into what it means to choose a partner based on substance over spark, how grief and trauma can shape family planning decisions, and why admiration—not just chemistry—can sustain love. Shannon also shares her deeply personal journey of caring for her father through dementia and how it's connected to her professional values and sense of purpose. This episode is rich with real-life honesty, expert-backed wisdom, and the kind of reflective conversation that stays with you long after the final minute. Key Takeaways The Three Relationship Traits That Matter Most: According to Tai Tashiro's research, conscientiousness, low neuroticism, and moderate adventurousness are better predictors of lasting relationship satisfaction than looks or wealth. Choosing the Right Kind of Chemistry: True intimacy often comes from admiration and emotional safety, not physical attraction alone. Love Without Children: Shannon shares why she and her husband Ty are "childless by choice" and how past grief shaped that decision. Caregiving as Sacred Work: Shannon reflects on caring for her father through dementia and how her training as a psychologist helps her meet his needs with dignity and compassion. Letting Go of the Checklist: Her personal love story challenges societal norms around partner selection and encourages listeners to rethink what really leads to long-term happiness.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Jill Couch as guest to the show.   About Jill Couch:   Jill's grandmother is her inspiration; her dad was her teacher. Both passed from this life with dementia. The DAWN Method taught Jill how to get it right with her dad. Jill is an Occupational Therapist who saw a different way to help in dementia when she began learning the DAWN Method.   About Better People Care LLC:   Jill founded Better People Care in 2018 when she began experiencing how the tools of the DAWN Method were helping her provide the right kind of care for folks experiencing dementia. Now, she and her team bring help and hope for many families in Northern Colorado. In addition, we specialize in training and coaching in the DAWN Method, care management, and healthcare advocacy for people living throughout the United States.   About the DAWN Method:   Here at the Dementia & Alzheimer's Wellbeing Network® (DAWN®), we've discovered something really special. We've found that although our clients lose some cognitive skills, they never lose all their skills. In fact, with dementia, we keep our primary thinking skills and continue to live in the present—fully able to enjoy beauty, positive emotions and companionship.   There are strengths in dementia, and both you and your loved one will benefit when you understand how to provide strength-based care. You will be able to keep your loved one home longer, with fewer conflicts, and your family will have less stress and expense. What they believe: We believe in preserving dignity and autonomy through aging in place for as long as possible. We do this by training families and caregivers to recognize and meet the emotional needs caused by dementia, how to support the cognitive skills their loved ones lose, and how to work with the skills they'll keep.   The seven tools of the DAWN Method® of dementia care:   The tools of the DAWN Method of dementia care: 1. Mood management, 2. Security in Confusion, 3. Security in Care, 4. Social Success, 5. Sense of Control, 6. Sense of Value, 7. Secure Future (in flower shape)   The first three DAWN tools are techniques for caregivers to help their loved ones regain a sense of security. Feeling secure is the most basic human need; we cannot relax if we don't feel safe. The last four tools help caregivers enhance their loved one's sense of contentment (“wellbeing”).   When caregivers use the first three DAWN tools, their loved ones learn that they can still be safe, and become more emotionally stable. With the last four DAWN tools, caregivers are equipped to restore and enhance their loved ones' sense of comfort in moments when discomfort looms.   The model or metaphor that best describes how the tools of the DAWN Method work together is the DAWN flower:   The DAWN flower shows the emotional needs created by dementia as a feedback loop—with the first DAWN tool, mood management, at its center. Mood management is central to being proactive and providing strength-based dementia care, because when someone loses their memory and thinking skills, they have lost the very skills we normally use to manage our own moods.   Their companions have become their mood managers, whether they realize it or not. Learning how to proactively create positive moods is the first tool of the DAWN Method, and one that enriches both care partners for the rest of their lives.   Once caregivers know how to create and maintain positive moods, they can help their loved ones learn an enduring sense of security in the two areas most vital to those undergoing cognitive impairment: learning that they can be safe even when confused, and learning that they can be safe accepting help from others.   The four components of wellbeing are much simpler. Someone can be given the gift of contentment (wellbeing) in moments and, if someone or something takes it away, their care partner can restore it in moments. With dementia, we have no need to learn contentment, because we never lose the skills we need to enjoy what others bring to us.   Once care partners are working with all seven of the DAWN tools, the relationship between them and their loved ones becomes marked by contentment and beauty rather than conflict and distress.
