Welcome to the Video Gallery

Caring for a loved one is both a deeply fulfilling and uniquely challenging journey. Through my research and heartfelt conversations with family caregivers across the country, I’ve learned that while caregiving can be incredibly special, it can also feel overwhelming at times. As an active family caregiver for the past 20 years, I understand what you're going through because I’ve walked in your shoes. This video gallery is here to offer support, encouragement, and practical insights to help lighten your load. Together, let’s change the way caregiving is viewed and find ways to make your life easier—even in the toughest moments.

    Breaking Patterns

    Learning something new and expanding your interests are wonderful ways to grow personally and even possibly breaking some worn out routines. Research shows that when we work at expanding interests, creating new habits, i.e. partaking in new hobbies, helps boosts our emotions, cognitive health and overall well-being.

    Consider breaking current patterns and finding interests and activities that are new and personally enriching. It can make such a positive difference in your daily lives!

  • Acceptance

    Acceptance

     When caring for a loved one with challenging health issues family caregivers can spend time wishing things were different for the person they care for and even themselves. 

    While understandable, this mindset leads to an opportunity missed…an opportunity to truly connect, an opportunity to spend quality time and an opportunity to embrace a mindset of acceptance.

    Acceptance provides a great opportunity to stay in the present and make your connections deeper and more satisfying!

  • Anger

    Anger

    One emotion family caregivers (and all others) can experience frequently is anger, which if ignored can raise havoc with your health and well-being.

    The anger I’m referring to is sustained anger. The type you encounter initially suppresses and stays with you and churns inside.

    Two interventions to help address this are personal awareness and introducing interruptor behaviors to gradually but effectively diminish the grip of this anger.

    Acts of Kindness

    Acts of kindness are a wonderful practice to both uplift the spirits of the “act” recipient but also provide wonderful health benefits to the giver.  The science behind these findings is irrefutable!

    I would like to personally share with you what I consider a unique act of kindness that I experienced 55 years ago. It meant the world to me then and looking back as an adult means even more to me today! 

    THANK YOU MOM!

    As family caregivers, we can spend more time worrying about future events instead of focusing on what is in front of us, causing runaway thoughts that are truly out of our control. 

    This, combined with hypervigilance is the perfect recipe for quickly becoming overwhelmed.
