25 Years Later Remembering 9/11 – The Stories We Must Keep Telling
It is hard to believe that the tragedy of Sept 11th was 25 years ago. If I close my eyes it seems like yesterday. Even more amazing is that I work today with people who were not even born yet or were toddlers when it happened. Maybe my story can help you understand...
This podcast is dedicated to the millions of family caregivers who want wellness tips and self-care solutions, who seek expert advice, and who want news about healthy aging on how to fuel our bodies and brains, and how to bring wellness design into our forever homes.
Welcome to our episode of “Caregiving Club On Air” podcast (S6, Ep 74) hosted by Sherri Snelling, corporate gerontologist, author and CEO of the Caregiving Club.
On this episode we are highlighting how to help family caregivers get a respite break for September Self-Care Awareness Month with our expert guest, Laura Williams, founder and CEO of Respitely.
Sherri discusses the following topics with Laura that help family caregivers and the friends and family who care about them to get periodic breaks from the challenges to caregiving to refresh and recharge. We often talk about caregiving as a marathon not a sprint and in order to continue in the race you have to take the breaks both physically and mentally that let you take a breath. It is the only way to create calm in the chaos of caregiving.
We want to help caregivers get the same break but sometimes it takes family and friends to help get us there. And that is where Respitely comes in. What Door Dash and Uber Eats is to food delivery, Respite is for caregiver breaks and self-care but it is not ordered by you – it is a gift from those who care about the you – the caregiver.
Laura shares her personal journey as a working mom, a long-distance caregiver to her mom, being part of the Sandwich Generation and why she created Respitely based on her own caregiving experience. During the episode, Sherri and Laura also discuss:
• What is respite care and who is it for?
• What is CareGifting and why it is important for family and friends to know how to do this for the caregiver they know.
• Why getting consistent “mini breaks” is more beneficial than waiting for one big annual “vacation-type” respite break.
• The rising trend in online marketplaces – curated online shopping specific to caring for an older parent – and what products and gadgets Respitely recommends.
