Caregiving at Every Stage and Age

Caregiving at Every Stage and Age Rayna Neises 20:07

Rayna Neises, ACC, host, and Karen Weaver, PCC, co-host, reflect on last week’s interview with Adrienne Glusman. Adrienne shared her experience as a young Caregiver and how she now supports other Millennials in their caregiving season. Additional thoughts:

Regardless of age, we usually do not think about being a Caregiver.
Sharing your story can be a support and help to other caregivers and help you find others like you.
Caregiving is something that can become a part of your life at any stage.
Those in the business world need to be aware of and consider how the Caregiver role impacts their employees.
Raising awareness and being an advocate for caregivers helps everyone.
Sometimes it is necessary to pivot to find a job that provides the flexibility and freedom that you need to be available as a Caregiver.

Rayna Neises A Season of Caring

Rayna Neises understands the joys and challenges that come from a season of caring. She helped care for both of her parents during their separate battles with Alzheimer’s over a thirty-year span. She is able to look back on those days now with no regrets – and she wishes the same for everyone caring for aging parents.

Rayna is the author of No Regrets: Hope for Your Caregiving Season, an ICF certified coach, the host of “A Season of Caring” podcast, Positive Approach® to Care (PAC)Independent Certified Trainer and speaker who is passionate about offering encouragement, support, and resources for regret-free caring aimed at preventing family caregivers from aimlessly wandering through this important season of life.

Rayna lives on a farm in southeast Kansas with her husband, Ron, and small pack of adorable dogs. She is the baby of her family, but most would never guess that. She is a former teacher who enjoys crafts of all kinds and spending time with her grandkids most of all.
