Every year during my birthday week, I like to share some reflections from the past year. Rather than doing a “38 things for 38” (who has time for that?), inspired by other podcasts and articles I've seen on this theme, I decided to share on 12 lessons I've learned or leaned into in the past 12 months.    As you'll hear in the podcast, the 12 lessons I'm carrying with me are about things I found myself learning, relearning, or focusing on intently over the past year. From the importance of asking for what I need, to learning that I don't have to do it all myself, and ensuring that I slow down without putting my life on hold while I wait for something to happen, I've learned so much…and I am so thankful for these life lessons!   This year, vulnerability and openness took center stage. As part of this process, I wrote this article where I describe my experience healing from PTSD related to sexual assault. If you too are struggling to find peace after a traumatic event, I hope my story reminds you that peace is possible. For those interested in learning more about trauma recovery, I created an all-new group coaching program for you.    Mentioned in this episode:  I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my two books – The Little Book of Game Changers: 50 Healthy Habits for Managing Stress & Anxiety and The Farewell Tour: A Caregiver's Guide to Stress Management, Sane Nutrition, and Better Sleep – both of which serve as guides in developing and maintaining healthy living habits.   In this episode I also mention my podcast episode with Emily Morse, renowned sex therapist and host of the award-winning relationship podcast, “Sex with Emily.” During our chat, Emily and I dive into the mind-body connection between the brain and how our body responds to sex, and the key role our brain plays in our sex lives.   Like what you hear?

Have you ever been so focused on caring for others that you forgot about yourself? For caregivers, it's easy to feel as if your needs come second. You might think: I don't have time and then self-care gets put on the backburner. This leads to burnout AND to not being our best for the people we love who need us.  Jessica Cording, a registered dietitian, health coach, and author, believes that we have to take care of ourselves first to be able to support those we are caring for. In her book, The Farewell Tour: A Caregiver's Guide to Stress Management, Sane Nutrition, and Better Sleep, Jessica shares the tips and tools she wishes she had when her father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. As a respected voice in the wellness space, Jessica continues to help thousands of people going through the challenges of caregiving with her practical insights on managing self-care during demanding times, including maintaining healthy habits when you're feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Whether you're dealing with a terminal illness or ongoing care, when you prioritize your own needs, you can be more present for those you love and make the most of your role as a caregiver.   In this episode, you'll learn:  Why self-care for caregivers is essential for survival Ways to talk about nutrition and healthy habits to those you are supporting Strategies for make healthy food choices as a busy caregiver How stress affects blood sugar and what you can do to manage it How to avoid burnout (and recognize the signs) as a caregiver This heartfelt conversation will equip you with the supportive strategies you need to help you balance self-care with the demanding role of caregiving.

Sorrow and longing are part of our lives whether we want to deal with these emotional aspects or not. In this podcast, I chat with Susan Cain, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole. We will talk about these feelings and how they can in fact make us whole.    Susan is also the author of QUIET: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, which spent eight years on The New York Times bestseller list and has been translated into 40 languages.  Cain was also named by Fast Company as one of its “Most Creative People in Business” and LinkedIn named her the “6th Top Influencer” in the world. Her record-smashing TED Talk has been viewed over 30 million times on TED.com and YouTube combined, and was named by Bill Gates one of his all-time favorite talks.    In speaking about her latest book, we get down to the true definition of “bittersweet” and what this word really encompasses. We also dive into the hidden power of sad songs and that it's okay if you love them!

Caregivers. Literally the word reflects how they “give”-but what about what they need to take? If you've ever been in a caregiving role, you know the self-care struggle is real.    After months of waiting to share this with you, I am thrilled to announce my upcoming book, The Farewell Tour: A Caregiver's Guide to Stress Management, Sane Nutrition, and Better Sleep (Viva Editions, October 2022).    Inspired by my family's experience caring for my father after his diagnosis of advanced pancreatic cancer (an experience which he, a music industry veteran, called his “farewell tour”), I have created a book intended to providing a healthier life for caregivers—Those who serve and assist ailing loved ones, the elderly, special needs children, and others who require ongoing care.     In this episode I hint at some of the self-care tips and tricks you'll find in the book as well as info about the other wellness experts, music artists, and industry professionals who shared their insight for this book. I also share a few personal perspectives and stories on the creation and evolution of this text and what I have learned in my own caregiver journey.    Click here to preorder. 

When I set out to write The Farewell Tour, I knew I wanted to include a chapter on dating for caregivers because I know I could have used that guidance when I was going through it.
