  • 7 Deadly Myths About Self-Care, Especially For Caregivers
    Jul 16 2024
    If you think this episode might not be relevant, think again. According to a new report from AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving, more than 1 in 5 adults – a total of 53 million Americans are now unpaid family caregivers. And let's face it: if we're not caregivers now, we will likely be one at some point. And being a caregiver is not just a financial stress; it also creates emotional, mental, and physical stress with alarming consequences. Did you know that 30% of caregivers die before the people they care for do? And that rate goes up to 70% for caregivers over 70. Those are shocking statistics. Even more startling is that when it comes to those who are caring 24/7 for a loved one with Alzheimer's, 63% die during the time they are providing care, an average of two years before their loved one. Given that five million people live with Alzheimer's, this is only going to get worse. If you're wondering why caregivers die before their loved ones at such an alarming rate, it's simple. They are neglecting their own health and well-being. For many, self-care isn't even on their radar. While self-care is essential for each of us, these statistics reveal that the consequences for caregivers are life and death. It's time to take this issue head-on. That's why this episode will explore the seven deadly myths about self-care, especially as they relate to caregivers and the truth behind them. We will also provide specific solutions to help you prioritize self-care, whether you are a caregiver now or not. Join us to learn what you can do to ensure that self-care is on YOUR radar.

  • How to live out “Be the change you want to see in the world”
    Jul 9 2024
    Most of us didn’t wake up this morning thinking… today I’m gonna change the world. However, what if we could? Do you see yourself as a changemaker? When was the last time you pondered how you could make a difference in the world? Does that thought feel a bit intimidating? If so, you’re not alone. What if changing the world starts with each of us changing ourselves and the world around us? Now that feels a bit more doable. Perhaps the way to start is by thinking about something you have control over and something you’re passionate about changing. What if the ripple effects of you creating a change could inspire others to do the same? You’ve probably heard the saying, if not now, when; if not me who? Let’s face it, now more than ever we need people who are bold enough to think they can change the world. In this episode, we’ll be challenging assumptions and shifting perspectives about just that and sharing ways you can make a difference. I’ll be sharing what influenced me to be a lifelong changemaker, aka disruptor at the tender age of 14 AND how it’s helped me create meaningful and lasting change that has transformed people’s lives in ways I could never have imagined. I have my ways of effecting change. However, there are many ways to invest in positive change, ways you might not even be aware of YET. If you’ve ever wondered how you, as just one person can make impactful change, you’ll want to stay tuned. I’m excited for you to meet my guest, Marcia Dawood. In her new book, “Do Good While Doing Well” Marcia shares there’s a way to invest for change, reap financial rewards, and increase your happiness. I know I want to learn more about how to make that happen. No time like the present to ponder new possibilities… to be the change we want to see in the world.
