The plight of unpaid caregivers has been a relatively silent one. As the world experiences an ever-increasing aging population, the people behind the scenes providing support for those in need are often overlooked.

Statistics indicate that 30% of caregivers die before the one they care for. It’s time to shine the spotlight on these unsung heroes and recognize their contributions, their value, and their needs.

In the first episode of Caregivers Conversations, I’m diving in deep to help you gain a better understanding of the challenges caregivers face in today’s world. If you’re a caregiver, my mission is to change the way you experience your role by reinforcing the importance of self-care and boundary setting. I’ll share my own journey into caregiving and how it transformed my life, turning a difficult upbringing into a lesson in forgiveness, and ultimately, the role of a lifetime.
