    “This Is an Awkward Conversation”: Talking About Hygiene With Someone You Love

    Noticing hygiene or safety concerns in someone you care about can stop you in your tracks—because how do you bring it up without embarrassing them or damaging the relationship? In this episode of CareLab, Brandy and Emilia are joined by occupational therapist and Toilet Talk founder Maria Lindbergh to tackle one of the most uncomfortable but common caregiving challenges: talking about toileting, hygiene, and bathroom safety with compassion and effectiveness. Together, they break down practical strategies like timing, tone, and leveraging family dynamics, while sharing real-world examples from clinical practice and personal caregiving. You’ll learn how to approach these conversations as a partnership (not a power struggle), when to involve a third-party expert like an occupational therapist, and why the home environment matters so much when solving bathroom-related issues. Honest, empathetic, and surprisingly empowering, this episode will give you the tools—and the confidence—to handle awkward conversations in a way that protects dignity and leads to real solutions.
