About

I felt the loneliness and overwhelm of caregiving when my husband was diagnosed with cancer over a decade ago. I know how hard it is to take care of yourself when you feel like it’s hard to handle everything caregiving throws at you. It took me a lot of time to figure out how to prioritize my own care with cancer in the house and it robbed me of time I could have enjoyed with my husband.

I know how difficult it is to always have self-care at the very end of a to do list that you know you’ll never get through. The feeling of always being in fight or flight, running on pure adrenaline and trying to figure out how to relax. Feeling overlooked and undervalued. Hanging on by a thread. 

What I needed back then is someone to help me see through the fog of caregiving and show me how to make my own care a priority. Someone who could show me a way to make caring for myself easier for me to do. A way to find options that would work for me that revolve around the things I like to do instead of trying to make myself enjoy something from a random list that I hate. 

Most importantly I needed someone to tell me that I wasn’t alone and that wanting more for myself didn’t make me a bad person.  

I hope to give you that through The Cancer Caregiver Podcast and this site.
