    Community, Advocacy, and Learning to Speak Up

    In this episode of Mind What Matters, Elizabeth Humphreys and Nikki DeLoach reflect on caregiving, advocacy, and the moments that force us to find our voice, even when it feels uncomfortable or risky. Nikki shares her experience navigating simultaneous medical crises involving her father and her infant son, Bennett, and what it taught her about intuition, persistence, and advocating inside a complex healthcare system. Together, Liz and Nikki talk about the difference between being “nice” and being effective, why trusting your gut matters, and how trauma reshapes the way we show up for others. They also explore the importance of community, personal responsibility, and learning how to stay grounded in moments of fear and uncertainty. This conversation is a reminder that speaking up isn’t about control, it’s about care, courage, and showing up when it matters most.

    What Caregiving Teaches You: Tools, Boundaries, and Trusting Yourself

    In this episode of Mind What Matters, Elizabeth Humphreys and Nikki DeLoach continue their deeply personal conversation about caregiving, shifting from naming the pain to sharing the hard-earned tools that helped Elizabeth survive thirteen years of caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s. Elizabeth opens up about burnout, family tension, and the emotional weight of being the one who carries the day-to-day reality of decline. Together, she and Nikki talk honestly about what actually helps caregivers, from learning when not to correct or argue, to understanding anxiety-driven behaviors, to setting boundaries without shame. This conversation explores family dynamics, asking for help, recovery work, and the moment caregiving forces you to trust yourself even when others disagree. For anyone in the thick of caregiving, or still processing the aftermath, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and reassurance that you’re not failing...you’re learning.

    UPDATED: All Episodes Mind What Matters Nonprofit The Long Goodbye: Caregiving, Grief, and Becoming Who You Are Along the Way

    Welcome back to Mind What Matters! In this episode of Elizabeth Humphreys and Nikki DeLoach turn the microphones inward to explore the raw, unfiltered realities of caregiving, grief, and the long emotional arc of loving someone with Alzheimer’s. To kick off the new year, the two friends treat each other as guests asking the hard questions about what caregiving really costs, how grief evolves over time, and what healing looks like after years of living in survival mode. Elizabeth shares her thirteen-year journey caring for her mother, from the earliest gut instincts that something was wrong to the exhaustion, burnout, guilt, and grace that marked every stage of the disease. Together, she and Nikki unpack the “death by a thousand paper cuts” that caregivers experience, the shame we place on ourselves for not doing it perfectly, and why allowing grief to do its work, rather than resisting it, can be profoundly transformative. This episode is an honest reminder that caregiving changes you, grief is not linear, and healing happens in small, daily acts of self-forgiveness. For anyone walking alongside a loved who requires care, or carrying the aftermath of that journey, this conversation offers validation, wisdom, and the reassurance that whatever you’re feeling, it’s all okay.

    The Power of Self-Remembrance: Aimee Parker on Human Design, Healing, and Living by Your Own Blueprint

    This week Liz Humphreys and Nikki DeLoach sit down with Aimee Parker, intuitive guide and Human Design reader, to explore what it truly means to live in alignment with who you are beneath all the “shoulds” and expectations. Aimee introduces listeners to Human Design, a system that blends ancient wisdom and modern science to help us understand how we’re energetically wired to move through the world. Together, they unpack how this framework can become a powerful tool for self-remembrance, decision-making, and healing from the conditioning and trauma that often disconnect us from our authentic selves. From navigating motherhood, caregiving, and burnout to setting boundaries and learning to say no, this conversation offers practical insights for anyone ready to slow down, trust their intuition, and honor their natural rhythm. As Nikki shares her own experiences using Human Design to manage her “yes-person” tendencies, the trio reminds us that self-awareness isn’t about fixing ourselves it’s about remembering who we’ve been all along.

    From Surviving to Thriving: Dr. Eleonora Teplinsky on Women’s Health, Hormones, and Rewriting the Narrative Around Aging

She and the hosts dive deep into the intersection of science, culture, and self-worth, exploring how societal expectations have shaped women’s relationships with their bodies and health decisions. Together, they tackle topics like hormone therapy myths, the emotional toll of “doing it all,” and why being proactive about your well-being is the most radical act of self-care. With honesty and compassion, Dr. Teplinsky offers practical, empowering insights for every woman ready to move from surviving to truly thriving.
