Most of us treat wellness like a checklist: water, steps, sleep. But what if it's not about getting it right, but about actually experiencing your life? On this episode of Wellness Reimagined, longtime caregiver Geoff Grant shares what 25 years of caring for his mother and wife taught him about grief, vulnerability, and staying grounded. About the Guest: Geoff Grant has spent 25 years as a family caregiver, first for his mother, then for his wife.
