The Caregiver's Journal is the show where we are sharing the caregiving experiences, stories, and wisdom of family caregivers. Chapter 3 - "The Unexpected Crisis": In this journal entry, we welcomed Angelena Taylor, Debbie Weiss, and RoxAnne Daignault who shared their stories and experiences on "The Unexpected Crisis". Angelena Taylor is a proud daughter, military caregiver, cat mom, world traveler, and reigning Ms. USA Ambassador. A native of Detroit, Michigan, Angelena works part-time as a behavior analyst but her most prominent and favorite role to date has been as a caregiver for over 8 years to her father Benjamin who is a stroke survivor and veteran. Becoming a caregiver at the age of 28 without much assistance or support birthed Angelena's passion for advocating for her fellow caregivers and restructuring the care infrastructure. She has been heavily involved as a fellow with organizations such as Caring Across Generations and The Elizabeth Dole Foundation where she has been able to connect with hundreds of other caregivers, collaborate with elected officials, and more. Featured in The New York Times and on The Tamron Hall Show, Angelena's story is one of 53 million caregivers (and estimated 5.5 million military caregivers) in the USA with the special redemption song of winning the prestigious title of Ms. USA Ambassador 2023. Angelena created Crown the Caregiver as a platform of awareness and advocacy in the caregiving community and plans to launch services as a Certified Caregiving Specialist soon. Debbie Weiss became a family caregiver at 17 after her father's massive stroke. Her caregiving experience intensified after her son's diagnosis with autism spectrum disorder and then ADHD, depression and anxiety and after her husband became permanently disabled. Over the last decade, Debbie learned to balance caring for her family with taking care of herself. Even after losing her husband in 2022, she's still here, caring for her boys, navigating widowhood, but also living life on her terms. RoxAnne Daignault is the parent of a child who has struggled with mental illness for over 17 years and is now an independent adult successfully living on their own. She spent much of her time attending support groups, workshops, and courses related to mental health, coaching, and supporting other caregivers in search of finding a community that she could connect with on these challenges. She has spoken at various event about her experiences, notably the Vancouver Mental Health Conference in 2013 and most recently the Two-Eyed Seeing Conference in 2023. She now shares my expertise and creating an environment of peer support, education and empowerment with other parents and caregivers through organizations that she partners with; Parent's for Children's Mental Health, Firefly, Lake of the Woods District Hospital and Canadian Mental Health Association Fort Frances, so that others can find a sense of belonging and experience the same sense of community that she found when it mattered most.  The Caregiver's Journal is hosted by Lance A.

The Caregiver's Journal hosted by Lance A. Slatton and Denise M. Brown. The Caregiver's Journal is the show where we are sharing the caregiving experiences, stories, and wisdom of family caregivers. Chapter 2 - "The Path to Diagnosis": In this journal entry, we welcomed Jesus Loreto, Sharon Hall, and Effie Parks who shared their stories and experiences on "The Path to Diagnosis". Jesus Loreto: Jesus is a Certified Caregiving Facilitator and member of the Patient Advocacy Council Guthy Jackson Charitable Foundation Caregiver for his beautiful wife Maria Elena who was diagnosed with Neuromyelitis Optica NMOSD (NMO) for 16 years. Jesus had been running a caregiver's support group for almost a decade and found it very rewarding to help others to navigate their diagnosis and manage their disease day to day. Jesus believes that by telling your story you can save lives, you make people realize they are not alone. They have readjusted to their new normal, and love life. They live with NMO but NMO is not their life. Sharon Hall: During Sharon's 18 years of caregiving, she has navigated the medical community, the social service community, and the support community. Her husband was diagnosed with frontotemporal degeneration, so she has added experience in young onset dementia.She was a care partner speaker at the Research Summit on Dementia Care and Services at the NIH in 2017. She has also presented at the 2017, 2018 and 2019 National Caregiver Conferences. Sharon has been a speaker in many webinars on dementia. She facilitates a local support group and an online chat for care partners. She also has a podcast with a dementia expert to give families much needed information. Sharon also contributed to the “Fighting Alzheimer's” insert in USA Today. Sharon is active in social media within the dementia community.  Effie Parks: Effie Parks, originally from beautiful Montana, has become a guiding light in the rare disease community following her son Ford's diagnosis with CTNNB1 syndrome. Settling in Washington, she transformed her family's journey into a crusade for advocacy, support, and empowerment for families navigating similar challenges. As the host of the "Once Upon a Gene" podcast, Effie has been recognized for several awards including WEGO Health and Podcast Magazine for her impactful storytelling and resource-sharing in the realm of rare genetic disorders. Effie extends her advocacy through speaking engagements at medical and patient advocacy conferences, sharing her experiences and insights from her work to bridge the gap between all rare disease stakeholders. Her skill in community engagement, developed through her advocacy, empowers her efforts in building a supportive network and raising awareness. With a mission to leave the world better than she found it, Effie is dedicated to fostering a more informed and empathetic environment for those impacted by rare diseases. Her work embodies resilience and compassion, inspiring and uniting the rare disease community. Effie's journey is not just about sharing stories, it's about driving change and creating a lasting impact in the world of rare genetic conditions.    Visit The Caregiver's Journal Official Website:  https://thecaregiversjournalpodcast.com/ Connect with Lance A.

I know, and you know, that when you begin to care for a family member, you can feel like you've entered a foreign country where you don't speak the language or understand the customs.  You don't know what is right in front of you or where this journey will take you.  I think what we all want, more than anything is an understanding of how to navigate the total caregiving experience.  In this episode I dive into a topic I learned about, back in 2017 when I was training to become a Certified Caregiving Consultant and that is the concept of The Caregiving Years, developed by a former caregiving mentor, Denise M. Brown,  that she has turned into a book, The Caregiving Years.   While other books focus on your family member or friend who needs your help and care, this book focuses just on you and what you need to manage the experience of caregiving.  The book categorizes caregiving into six stages, from when you first worry that a family member needs care to after caregiving ends.  The stages Denise has identified help you answer these questions: Why me? Why now? What now? so you can focus on what YOU need to manage the experience of caregiving.   The book also offers tips to help you navigate the bad days, the difficult decisions and the overwhelming emotions. Because caregiving can be such a complicated experience, I share Denise's simple coping strategies, wrapped in a keyword and a purpose, along with an action plan she lays out to help guide you through each stage of the caregiving years.  After listening to the episode, my goal is to help you understand where you currently are and where you are headed in your caregiving journey.  I also want to provide a realistic perspective of caregiving while showing that you will make it through and be better for it.  I know I am after my 10-year care journey. If you are interested in reading more about the The Caregiving Years, you can find Denise's book on Amazon here.  And if you want to learn how to become more empowered during your caregiving experienceand learn how to transform it into your next opportunities, click here to learn more about Denise's The Caregiving Years Training Academy. Where we can connect:Join the Young Life Interrupted Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/younglifeinterruptedSubscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-life-interrupted-a-podcast-for-young-caregivers/id1578015965Connect with Adrienne on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/younglifeinterrupted/Follow Adrienne on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/younglifeinterrupted

As we kick off our Special Edition year end series, I am so excited to welcome Denise Brown, Founder of Caregiving.com❤️ Denise M. Brown launched CareGiving.com in 1996. CareGiving.com was the first website to add online caregiving support groups, daily caregiving chats and blogs written by family caregivers. Through its blogs posts, podcasts and video chats, CareGiving.com holds one of the largest online libraries of caregiving stories. Listen in as Denise & I focus in on Caregiving during the Hustle and Bustle of the Holiday Season ❤️

Chicago native Denise M. Brown founded CareGiving.com at a time when Google, Twitter, Facebook and Wikipedia didn't even exist.  Everyone told Denise she was wasting her time.  No one would be interested in a website like CareGiving.com.  She launched the site anyway and now, over twenty years later, CareGiving.com is the go-to destination for millions of family caregivers desperate for practical advice and encouragement.  Jana talks with Denise about her early influences, how she manages her own parents and the two-day, National Institutes of Health event that shocked Denise into the realization that caregivers are invisible even the medical community.  Note: this episode originally aired November 2, 2017.  It has been lightly edited.Blog post mentioned in the show (Denise M.

Google, Twitter, Facebook and Wikipedia didn't even exist when Chicago native Denise M. Brown started exploring the idea of launching a website for caregivers the early 1990s. Everyone told her she was wasting her time: people don't go online for the kind of information Denise wanted to offer. She launched CareGiving.com anyway, and today the website is a go-to destination for millions of family caregivers desperate for practical advice and encouragement. In today's show, Denise talks about the origins of CareGiving.com, how the landscape of care has changed since she began working in the field 27 years ago and why family caregiver stress is an epidemic. She shares some lessons from caring for her own parents and explains why it's important to document your caregiving experience in some way. Denise also tells us about NCC17, the upcoming National Caregiving Conference in Chicago, and how you can attend digitally if you can't make it in personTo purchase a transcript of this episode please visit this page: TranscriptsLearn More: Caregiving.com  UPDATE: Since this episode aired, Denise sold CareGiving.com and has dedicated herself full-time to her new company Caregiving Years Training Academy, which provides training and certifications for family caregivers.Music: “Halves And Quarters” by Dlay | CC BY NC ND | Free Music Archive
