Podcasts about caregiving

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.

Grief is tough. It is so very hard when a loved one dies. Whether it is expected because of serious illness or a total shock, grief is painful. And also, grief is part of life. Sometimes people compound their suffering by asking "Why am I still grieving so hard?" or "Shouldn't I be better by now?"Trying to push grief away doesn't help. In fact, it can make grieving even harder. This meditation is an invitation to make peace with grief.If you have ever lost a person, a pet, a prized possession, a job, an identity, or anything else, this meditation is for you.Be sure you're in a safe place (no driving!) when you listen.I'm glad you're here.Doctor Deliawww.DoctorDelia.comCoping Courageously: A Heart-Centered Guide for Navigating a Loved One's Illness Without Losing Yourself is available here: www.copingcourageously.com Please review this podcast wherever you listen and forward your favorite episode to a friend!

Together, they unpack Beth's personal journey of managing her mother's finances through illness, surgery, and estate settlement.

When Laurel married in her late 50s, she never imagined she'd become her husband's full-time caregiver just five years later. Now, twenty years into that journey, she calls it a blessing: “He is so easy to care for…. I have released early feelings of resentment, realizing that I've been training my whole life to do this.”As Director of Strategic Initiatives for The Village Chicago, Laurel works mainly from home, crafting a monthly newsletter that shines a light on aging and ageism. Reflecting on life in her late-80s, she says, “I feel more myself than ever before in my life.”“I consider myself a solo ager because I am primary caregiver for my husband and am making all decisions and doing all tasks by myself.” - Laurel BaerConnect with Laurel:Email lbaer938@aol.comThe Village Chicago https://thevillagechicago.orgThanks to our Sponsor—Plymouth Place, LaGrange Park, ILDiscover the extraordinary at Plymouth Place—a vibrant community designed for active adults.

I opened the show with Balaam, the original for-profit prophet. He was not the last one. We still have plenty today with nice suits, studio lighting, and partner plans "…if you act now!" Balaam took the job, hopped on his donkey, and headed out. God blocked the road. The donkey saw it. Balaam did not. After a few detours and a smashed foot, the donkey finally spoke. And instead of freezing or questioning reality, Balaam argued with her as if this was completely normal. That part always gets me. Did animals talk a lot back then? I live around horses and cattle here in Montana. If one of them said, "Peter, we need to talk," I would like to think I would pause and reconsider a few things. Balaam did not. He snapped right back at the donkey and missed the angel standing in the road. And thinking about it, as a caregiver, do I often do the same thing? I get locked in on what I am trying to do … and miss the very thing God may be using to protect me. Sometimes the obstacle is not the problem. It is the rescue. In the next segment, a listener asked about spiritual attack. I kept it simple. Satan had to ask permission for Job. He had to ask for Peter. He has to ask for us. The enemy does not get an open gate to God's people. I rest more in that truth than in anything I feel on a hard day. Then the show moved from talking donkeys to unpacking boxes. Gracie and I are sorting through years of stored belongings. She remembers exactly where every decorative plate hung in our old kitchen. I sometimes need a leaf blower to find my desk. The process has reminded me how much I hold on to, not only physical things, but guilt, fear, and expectations that weigh more than any box in the house. That led naturally to the hymn for the week, "Take My Life and Let It Be," which Frances Havergal wrote as a kind of spiritual clean-out, offering each part of herself back to God. If the episode has a theme, it is simple. Pay attention. When something in your life suddenly speaks, pause before arguing with it. God may be standing in the road for your good, even if the warning arrives through a stubborn creature with very long ears. Caregiving gets heavier during the holidays. Let 40 years of experience walk with you. Books By Peter Rosenberger. Books from Peter Rosenberger               I opened the show with Balaam, the original for-profit prophet.

In this episode of Retire With Style, Wade and Alex talk with Beth Pinsker, author of My Mother's Money, about the realities of financial caregiving. Beth shares her experience managing her mother's finances during a health crisis, underscoring the value of preparation and clear legal documentation. The discussion covers the importance of establishing power of attorney, the practical challenges of budgeting for someone else, and the emotional strain that arises when court involvement becomes necessary. The episode offers listeners a straightforward look at why financial caregiving matters and what steps can help families prepare before a crisis hits.   Takeaways Preparation is crucial; having legal documents in place can save time and money later. Power of attorney is essential for anyone over 18 to ensure decisions can be made on their behalf. Financial institutions have varying requirements for accepting power of attorney documents. Navigating a loved one's finances can be complicated without access to their accounts. Budgeting for someone else requires understanding their entire financial picture, including bills and accounts. The court experience for those without power of attorney can be lengthy and emotionally taxing. Many people underestimate the importance of estate planning, regardless of their financial status. It's important to normalize discussions about power of attorney and healthcare proxies among families. Planning ahead can prevent significant stress and financial burden during a crisis.

Some people feel the world in a deeper way. You might walk into a room and notice tension right away. You might catch a shift in someone's voice before they even admit something is wrong. You might replay moments for days because your mind doesn't let them go.   If this sounds familiar, this episode will help you make sense of it.   I sat down with Todd Smith, host of the podcast Stress Management for Highly Sensitive People. Todd has spent years helping people understand why sensitivity isn't weakness. It's a real trait that shows up in about 15 to 20 percent of the population.     What We Talked About     What it really means to be a compassionate person. Todd explains the DOES model, which breaks sensitivity into four parts: depth of processing, overwhelm, emotion, and sensitivity to subtle cues.   Why stress hits deeper for some people. We explore how stress can turn small problems into significant reactions and how sensitivity increases when life gets loud.   How Byron Katie's Work Can Calm Your Mind. Todd walks through a simple method that helps you question stressful thoughts and see situations with more clarity.   Parenting and sensitivity. We talk about what it's like raising a child when you already feel a lot, and how to stay steady when your kid isn't giving you much to work with.   Caregiving and family stress. Todd shares his experience caring for a family member with dementia and how sensitivity plays a role in the pressure, the frustration, and the emotional weight.   Why boundaries matter. We discuss why it's so hard for sensitive people to say no, and how to protect your energy without guilt.     Who Does This Episode Help     This episode is for you if you:   Feel drained by crowds or noise Pick up on other people's moods fast Replay conversations for days Struggle with conflict Need more quiet than the people around you Want tools to lower stress and shift your reactions       About Todd Smith     Todd Smith is a coach who helps highly sensitive people manage stress and understand their wiring.

Tell us about your Adventure!Caregiving for our spouse, aging parents, or even our own children is a HUGE part of retirement that many people don't think about when planning for retirement, but very often can define our retirement. Caring for others is often a deeply fulfilling journey, yet it can come with significant challenges. Many caregivers frequently find themselves feeling overwhelmed and neglecting their own needs while they focus on those they care for. This is where self-care becomes essential. Mike Collins, a noted advocate for caregiver wellness, has developed a helpful framework called the Five H's: Heart, Head, Health, Home, and Hands. In this post, we will explore each of these components and how they can empower caregivers to maintain their balance and well-being.

Observations on how the interconnected plotlines initially seem scattered but progressively reveal ties. Personal Reactions and Character Complexity (06:41 - 09:43) Sam expresses strong dislike for the film, citing an emotional aversion to nearly all characters except the frogs. Recognition of standout performances by William H. Macy and Philip Seymour Hoffman despite overall dislike.

Major theme identified: dysfunctional relationships between parents and children. Cops and Authority Portrayal (19:46 - 29:25) John C.

Macy's character as a former quiz boy who symbolizes a lost potential and relatability to gifted child experience.

Tom Cruise's Frank T.J. Mackey characterized as a 'manosphere' guru shaped by family trauma.

In-home elder care costs are rising more than three times faster than inflation.

What does it look like to choose love—and keep choosing it, day after day? We sit down with JET, a grandson who decided his grandmother with dementia wouldn't go to a facility. He brought her into his home, rebuilt his life around her needs, and learned how dignity lives in small rituals: clean sheets, a sharp outfit, a slow stroll through every aisle at the market just to smell the spices. It's funny, tender, and honest about what caretaking really takes.JET walks us through the first clues that something was off—credit-card charges, memberships, late-night orders—and how financial habits can be early flags in Alzheimer's and dementia care. You'll hear how a neighbor, Miss Tommy, became an unsung hero, how overnight shifts kept the lights on, and why community might be the most underrated part of elder care.We talk about men in caregiving, identity, and what competence really looks like when schedules, bathing, meds, and meals collide. There's laughter—coriander adventures and “field trips” down grocery aisles—and there's grief.If you're navigating dementia, Alzheimer's, or family caregiving, you'll leave with practical ideas: build your support early, accept help without guilt, protect dignity through small routines, and keep joy on the calendar. Most of all, you'll feel less alone.

Call it what you like — sleep deprivation/sleep recession/The Exhaustion Economy —but when you're not getting enough sleep as a parent, it's sheer torture. And when actor Keira Knightley named it for the hell it is, every parent felt it in their (tired) bones. This week, we’re unpacking the long-haul burnout that comes with parenting — and the societal shrug that keeps it invisible. Meanwhile, if you think your parenting Group Chats are delivering chaos, you're not alone. Amelia (ever the secret Nicole) has three golden rules to survive them, while Monz is rolling out the five parent archetypes you’ll absolutely recognise.

Caregiving is not an easy thing. It's paperwork, passwords, POAs, and the courage to say the hard things before the crisis hits. In this episode, we get real about the emotional and financial marathon of caring for aging parents, why women disproportionately shoulder the load, and exactly what to do now so your future self isn't rage-crying in probate court. Our guest, Beth Pinsker—MarketWatch financial-planning columnist, CFP®, and author of My Mother's Money: A Guide to Financial Caregiving—walks us through the must-have documents, the family conversations that actually prevent sibling warfare, and how to set boundaries when love meets logistics. (Yes, you can be loving and say “nope, that won't work.”) We cover: The caregiving reality check: why daughters so often become default CFOs of aging parents (and what to do about it). The legal minimums: power of attorney, healthcare proxy, will vs. trust, and when each one matters. Costly myths to ditch: “We'll figure it out later,” “It'll be obvious who does what,” and “We don't need it in writing.” Crisis-proofing your finances: automation, a single “pay-from” account, and creating a breadcrumb trail someone else can actually follow. End-of-life wishes: how to handle DNR/DNI and hospice decisions without guilt (clarity > chaos). If you're the money person: how to leave a map your family can use (and if you're not the money person, how to get up to speed—without becoming the household bookkeeper). Because love isn't just casseroles and hand-holding; sometimes it's signatures, spreadsheets, and setting your people up to survive the hardest days with clarity and dignity.

Hey Heal Squad! Today we're joined by Bruce Willis' wife, Emma Heming-Willis and Helen Christoni to dive deep into the realities of the caregiving experience. The everyday challenges that the Willis family has been experiencing since Bruce Willis was diagnosed with Frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The two have both cared for loved ones through dementia and FTD, and are now on a mission to support the caregivers who often feel invisible.  PLUS, we break down the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's, the emotional roller coaster caregivers are never prepared for, and the hard decisions families face when care needs evolve. Whether you're a caregiver, love someone who needs support, or want to protect your brain health now, you don't want to miss this one!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Caregivers can't pour from an empty cup: When you constantly prioritize everyone else's needs over your own, your body eventually keeps the score. Prioritizing your sleep, nutrition, movement, and connection isn't selfish. Connection is medicine: Isolation is one of the fastest ways a caregiver's mental and physical health can decline. Staying plugged into community, friends, and emotional support helps you regulate stress and remember you're not carrying this alone. Honesty with kids builds safety: When a parent declines, hiding the truth creates confusion, fear, and internalized blame. Speaking gently, directly, and age-appropriately helps children process what's happening and gives them the emotional tools to stay resilient through change. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagrams: https://www.instagram.com/emmahemingwillis/?hl=en  https://www.instagram.com/helenchristoni/?hl=en  https://www.instagram.com/maketimewellness/?hl=en  Website: https://maketimewellness.com/  Book: https://emmahemingwillis.com/the-unexpected-journey/  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

EPISODE DESCRIPTIONAllison Applebaum was supposed to become a concert pianist. She chose ballet instead. Then 9/11 hit, and she ran straight into a psych ward—on purpose. What followed was one of the most quietly revolutionary acts in modern medicine: founding the country's first mental health clinic for caregivers. Because the system had decided that if you love someone dying, you don't get care. You get to wait in the hallway.She's a clinical psychologist. A former dancer. A daughter who sat next to her dad—legendary arranger of Stand By Me—through every ER visit, hallway wait, and impossible choice. Now she's training hospitals across the country to finally treat caregivers like patients. With names. With needs. With billing codes.We talked about music, grief, psycho-oncology, the real cost of invisible labor, and why no one gives a shit about the person driving you to chemo. This one's for the ones in the waiting room.RELATED LINKSAllisonApplebaum.comStand By Me – The BookLinkedInInstagramThe Elbaum Family Center for Caregiving at Mount SinaiFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Send us a textWhat if the moment everything fell apart was the moment your real life began? Rick's path moved from state titles and Friday night lights to a torn shoulder, a wrecked back, and a stack of unopened bills that revealed his dad's early dementia. At twenty-two, he became the caregiver, the mediator, and the only one the family would listen to. The weight wasn't just physical—it was spiritual and emotional, and it nearly broke him. But when he cried out for a way through, the answer started with a familiar door: the gym.We explore how returning to movement rescued more than strength. Rick brought his dad to train and watched something rare—cognition and coordination improve with consistent rehab. That experience reshaped his philosophy: fitness is medicine. He talks candidly about concussions, migraines, and learning to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset. Instead of chasing maxes, he champions fundamentals, progressive overload with restraint, and technique as protection. His coaching story includes a powerful win: guiding a cautious lifter from the lightest dumbbells to confident, heavy reps by pairing small steps with steady belief.Along the way, Rick found love, stepped into fatherhood, and brought family values onto the gym floor. He treats clients like brothers and sisters, and he leads by example when injuries flare—showing the rebuild in public: rehab plans, setbacks, and the daily choice to keep going. We dig into the future of training and why bridging fitness and healthcare matters for mental health, pain management, and long-term resilience. If you've ever felt stuck, ashamed of a setback, or unsure how to start again, this conversation is a blueprint: expect to fall, learn to rebuild, and let adversity shape your purpose.If this story resonates, tap follow, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway. Your support helps more people discover that fitness can be a lifeline—and that starting over is a strength.Support the showLearn More at: www.Redefine-Fitness.com

In a world where the health care system often feels stretched to its limits, the voices of those who dedicate their lives to healing others can too easily go unheard. Yet behind every mask and every pair of scrubs lies a human story — of compassion, resilience, and often, quiet exhaustion.  In this episode of The Art of Feminine Negotiation, Cindy Watson sits down with Marcia Jacobi for an insightful and heartfelt conversation on Negotiating Healing and Care: Giving Voice to Health Care Workers and Restoring Humanity in the Health Care Conversation.  Marcia has been part of the health care world since the 1980s and is the co-author of the best-selling series If These Scrubs Could Talk. A passionate advocate for those who wear scrubs, Marcia is on a mission to combat burnout and build a strong, supportive community for health care professionals. Through her movement and her books, she's helping those on the front lines feel seen, heard, and valued—reminding us all that caring for the caregivers is just as essential as caring for the patients. Join Cindy and Marcia as they explore how to restore compassion, connection, and humanity in the health care conversation. In  this episode, you will learn: The inspiration behind launching the If These Scrubs Could Talk movement. The emotional and psychological impact the system has on health care workers, and how can storytelling or other strategies can help address that? How the healthcare system evolve and how frontline workers are treated and valued? How the art of negotiation plays a role in health care environments.
