Tomorrow is the last episode of 2024, and we're looking back at our favorite moments - with a LOT of laughs! We appreciate everyone who has been part of our journey, and we cannot wait for a fresh new year and to bring you new stories from the world of caregiving! Happy New Year!
Caregivers, this one’s for YOU.
You spend every day pouring from your cup, meeting the needs of others. But what if for just one week, you could refill that cup while surrounded by those who get it?
Picture this: Sunrise over endless waves. Meaningful conversations with caregiving trailblazers. Workshops that ignite your soul. Laughter over shared stories. And the kind of rest that feels like coming home to yourself.
✨This isn’t just a cruise. It’s a lifeline.✨
A moment to step out of the whirlwind and into a community that sees you, values you, and celebrates you.
📅 Fall 2025 Self-Care at Sea- October 19th-26th:
Save the date and secure your spot. Let the ocean carry your worries away while you rediscover the joy of simply being YOU aboard the NCL Aqua.
Caregiving is a labor of love—but even love needs a break.
Let’s sail into rest and renewal together. Join the crew and share the experience:

A Husband's Best Gift for Comfort!
As we count down to the holiday season, it's time to think outside the box (or should we say inside the stocking?).
Big shoutout to our incredible sponsor, TENA, the global leader in continence care. They’re redefining dignity and quality of life with products that make a real difference.
This holiday season, why not wrap up a little comfort and confidence? TENA products might just be the thoughtful (and unexpected) stocking stuffer you never knew you needed. Now, that's what we call a gift that keeps on giving. 😉
Thank you, TENA, for empowering professionals and families alike with care at the heart of everything you do.
✨Check out the video and share your thoughts! What's the most unique stocking stuffer you've ever gifted or received?

Self-care matters, especially for caregivers. This week's guest, Charisma Sydnor, discusses the importance of putting your needs first to support those you care for more effectively. Hear her story about tackling challenges and finding new solutions, like learning skills to share responsibilities. Catch the full episode tomorrow!
✨ Feeling the weight of change this holiday season? ✨
The holidays can bring mixed emotions whether it's from grief, distance, or caregiving challenges. Even in tough times, you can create meaningful moments. Focus on gratitude, act with love, and honor loved ones. Light a candle, cook a favorite dish, or start a new tradition. Grief and joy can coexist. Your well-being is what matters. What intention will you set this year?
Support That Actually Supports 🌟
Ever been given a solution to a problem you don’t have? Annoying, right?
Real support starts with a question: What do YOU need? It’s not about assuming or offering generic fixes. Every person is unique, and their support should be too.
What’s it really like to be a young carer? In tomorrow's episode, we listen back to Aditya Akella's story about how his school misunderstood the experience of caregiving. Instead of offering practical support, like flexibility with homework deadlines, assumptions were made about mental health challenges. While well-intentioned, this highlights the need for understanding over stereotypes.
Join us as we explore young carers' unique challenges and needs, and why listening can make all the difference.

Emily is back with a perfectly timed topic - handling the holidays when there's been a change in your life. Life changes, and so can our traditions. Whether it’s losing a loved one or not gathering with family, meaningful memories are still possible. Traditions are about love and connection, not the how.
Show up for each other—wherever you are. ❤️
What new tradition will YOU try this year?
In this week's episode, former Wisconsin Governor Marty Schreiber shares his wife Elaine's story. After her Alzheimer's diagnosis, Elaine kept journals capturing her thoughts and challenges. Marty talks about what he learned from her writing, her bravery, and his role in supporting her. Be sure to listen to this moving episode to get a clear look at their experience.
