My Best Caregiver Life
Everyone asks how the person you care for is doing. My Best Caregiver Life asks a different question: How are YOU doing, and what do YOU need?
Hosted by Christy Moore, an RN, Certified Caregiving Consultant, and family caregiver to her husband and aging parents, this every-other-week podcast is for Black family caregivers caring for a spouse or aging parent.
We talk about real life: having no time for yourself, caregiver stress and burnout, asking for help and actually getting it, working while caregiving, and holding on to who you are. And sometimes we talk about what helps the person you care for, because what helps them can help you, too.
Caregiving is something you do. It’s not who you are. It’s a chapter in your story, not the whole book.
