Rebecca Chopp never expected a routine annual checkup to uncover symptoms that ultimately revealed she has early-stage Alzheimer's disease. The news was devastating.  After recovering from the shock and grappling with the changes Alzheimer's meant for her life plans, Rebecca knew the next steps: retire from her stressful job leading the University of Denver, hold on to the core of herself for as long as possible, and find ways each day to live well so that her remaining time with her family and friends can be as rich and meaningful as possible.

    From Caregiver to Care Receiver: Embracing The Journey

    From Caregiver to Care Receiver: Embracing the Journey Caregiver burnout is a real concern, but what happens when the roles reverse? This episode explores the emotional journey of caregivers who transition into care recipients themselves. Discover how accepting this shift can lead to: Greater Empathy and Understanding: Experiencing dependence firsthand cultivates compassion for those previously cared for. A Newfound Appreciation for Caregivers: Gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by caregivers fosters appreciation for their efforts. Holistic Caregiving: This transition can lead to a more comprehensive understanding of care needs on both sides. Join us as we explore the power of embracing change in caregiving and the valuable insights gained from role reversal. About Our Guest Christopher MacLellan started The Whole Care Network after his experience as family caregiver balancing care and career. With 10 years of experience as the director of an information and referral service hotline, he grew a passion for advocacy in caregiving. He saw firsthand the difficulty in finding trusted information and resources to sustain a healthy and productive lifestyle at home and work. For Chris, the focus of The Whole Care Network is bringing information to family caregivers through shared stories and easy-to-consume media organized within 4 Pillars of Care.  Christopher became a care recipient several years ago, and it may not be a surprise to learn that he struggled with accepting care after his time being a care provider. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Related Episodes: Discover Anxiety, Health & Care Stress Reduction Techniques Caregiver Support: Personalized Text Message Connections ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sign Up for more Advice & Wisdom - email newsletter. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please help us keep our show going by supporting our sponsors.

Discover how you too can create a healthier relationship dynamic and navigate the challenges of caregiving with greater confidence. Our Guest: Sherri Yarborough is caring for her 93 year old mother. She also started Praxis Senior Caregiving Solutions. She realized that to survive caring for her Mom, she was going to have to rectify their past relationship struggles. This episode, she shares how she made that happen.. She earned her Ph.D. in Educational Policy Studies from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her education as a policy analyst was an invaluable tool for managing the interpersonal changes to the relationship with her mother.  Dr. Yarbrough's decade long experience as a family care-giver has taught Dr. Yarbrough the importance of including herself and her needs in the care journey with her mother. Dr. Yarbrough’s ability to view a circumstance from multiple perspectives became the genesis for her Praxis for Care. The Praxis for Care is a strategy that helps family care-givers identify what they need in order to meet the needs of a loved one. The Praxis for Care is the foundation for her motto: care-giving is what you do for your loved one; giving-care is what you do for both of you. She created her business to give family care-givers a resource for navigating the demands of caring for a loved one.  ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Related Episodes: Time Out Caregiver: Resilience, Compassion & Self-Care Accepting Care - A Caregivers Perspective ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sign Up for more Advice & Wisdom - email newsletter. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please help us keep our show going by supporting our sponsors.
