Summary:Nancy Light returns after her episode of Caregivers Grief and broaches the serious topic of End of Life Discussions. The topics for these discussions can range from necessary paperwork to very specific choices for the time of passing. Most have heard of Health Care Proxy, Living Will and other forms needed by hospitals or nursing homes. Nancy shares is wisdom of having other details decided ahead of time to avoid conflict and indecision.Episode Details:Everyone wants the last moments of life to be peaceful. We may want to be surrounded by our family members, or we may prefer to have only one person with us. Or, we might want to spare our loved ones the memory of our last breath and die alone. If we never communicate these preferences, we may sacrifice the opportunity to have our wishes fulfilled. Listen in as we discuss how to convey our preferences to our families, and even when. Nancy Light , BSN, RN, MPS has worked in the healthcare field for over 45 years.

Summary:Caregivers are unique in that they give everything they have to care for someone in need. Some provide care for loved ones, some provide care as a career and yet others provide care out of a passion to serve. They are all subject to overloading their lives and burning out so the rest of us need to be aware of this and how we might help them to help us. Join us as Nancy Light shares her experience both as a caregiver and as an employer of caregivers.Episode Notes:We discuss why some people are inclined to be caregivers as well as the risks of becoming overwhelmed. Caregivers grieve, but frequently find themselves unable to fully grieve one loss before being faced with the very next patient and family in need of their services. This can intensify to a point Nancy calls the "boiling frog" point.  Nancy Light , BSN, RN, MPS has worked in the healthcare field for over 45 years.

The Wine Institute’s Nancy Light joins Paul and Elizabeth to discuss how you can visit California wineries virtually

This is a time when we are all absolutely immersed in the holiday season. We have a little bit of it behind us and a whole lot more in front of us. This is probably the biggest time when it comes to wine and wine sales because everybody's out buying wine for gifts. They're buying wine for parties and family celebrations, but sometimes you just want to mix it up a little bit and when we say mix it up, that even includes mixing our fruit of the vine with something else. So, speaking of something else, one of David's favorite guests who comes on from time to time, not nearly enough, is Nancy Light. She's the VP at the Wine Institute, which is an incredibly powerful and effective organization--really an advocacy group--for the California wine industry, but they do so much good for wine all over the world. On this episode of Grape Encounters, Nancy joins us to lighten up things with wine cocktails. When David saw a new publication from the Wine Institute, he says he freaked out! "The minute I saw this, like I just freaked out. I was so crazy because it is so up my alley and anybody that's been listening to Grape Encounters for any length of time knows that I love to tinker with wine. And there are a lot of people that think wine is sacred and you can't mess with it and you just gotta drink it the way the winemaker made it and that's it. But you guys come along with a wine cocktail ebook for the holidays." The post Episode #542 – (Wine) Cocktails Anyone? Cool Concoctions From the Wine Institute! appeared first on .

On today's podcast Nancy Light, the Vice President of Communications at the Wine Institute rings me up to discuss the fact that September is California Wine Month. There are over 70 events occurring throughout the state. We touch upon many in the Sonoma, Napa regions as well as a few in other appellations. You just might be inspired to plan a trip around one of the events. I'm parking the car and picking up the phone for this On The Wine Road Podcast.   

Light has more than two decades of experience in wine industry communications. Prior to forming Nancy Light Public Relations in 2003, she was Vice President of Public Relations for Robert Mondavi for seven years, acting as chief communications strategist and managing public relations programs for the company and its portfolio of 16 wineries and labels. Light was responsible for communications programs for the launch of ten new labels, including international joint ventures, during a period of intense growth and expansion in the US and key export markets. She also managed press activity for family and key company executives and served as spokesperson on promotional, business and industry issues. This direct experience augments the broad view of the industry that Light gained as Wine Institute Communications Director and in her previous positions as Account Supervisor for Shelly Berman Communicators, a public relations and advertising agency, and as Public Relations Manager for Kobrand Corporation in New York, where she started the company's first in-house PR department in the 1980s. Wine Institute is a public policy advocacy group representing 637 California wineries and affiliated businesses responsible for more than 80 percent of the nation's wine production and 90 percent of U.S. wine exports.
