As caregivers, it’s not unusual to have days we want to run away. However, these feelings give us feelings of shame and guilt. Society has an unstated opinion that caregivers should be happy with their current situation and cope better!

As a meditation and yoga teacher, this week’s guest, Charlotte Bayla, assumed continuing her Self-Care practices after her husband’s cancer diagnosis would be easy. When she struggled, she realized that other caregivers likely had a more challenging time, so she started the Loving Your Caregiving Life podcast.

Charlotte is joining me to discuss why caregivers don’t get the recognition they need as a vital part of the caregiving team. We also discuss ways to give ourselves the acknowledgment and respect we deserve.

There are three things necessary for a podcast to be successful. One, great listeners like yourself. Two are sponsors who help cover the expenses of producing the podcast. Three great listeners who help support the podcast by taking advantage of the sponsors’ special offers. With that said, here are our sponsors;

After helping care for her grandmother who had vascular dementia, Jennifer realized her Mother was showing signs of early onset Alzheimer’s. After the death of her father in 2017 Jennifer went searching for answers to many of the common questions and Alzheimer’s caregiver faces. Being a busy entrepreneur Jennifer realized that a podcast would be the easiest way to learn more about caregiving while completing other tasks.

Sadly, in late 2017 she only found one and it didn’t quite address what she was looking for, so she did the next best thing, and started her own. The Fading Memories podcast is now in it’s fourth year and despite the death of her Mom in March 2020, Jennifer is still talking to caregivers and still learning how to be an excellent caregiver. On the podcast she discusses caregiving, brain health, self-care and how to age well.
