FUMS 106 - Caring for Caregivers with Elizabeth Miller
Manage episode 328697765 series 2163836
If you listen to this podcast, there's a strong chance that you receive care - from a friend, a loved one, or from within your community. You might also be in the position I was in a few years back, caring for elderly relatives, young children, and myself as a person with a chronic illness!
My guest today is Elizabeth Miller, a family caregiver, caregiver advocate, speaker, author, podcast host, and Certified Caregiving Consultant. Her personal experiences of caring for aging parents with chronic and terminal illnesses and for a sibling with developmental disabilities inspired her to create Happy Healthy Caregiver in 2015.
Elizabeth's aim is to make caregiving sustainable and prevent burnout by encouraging intentional self-care.
Like I said, you might be a caregiver or the one receiving care. Regardless, there are some great tips in our conversation for looking after yourself. And please remember that self-care is not selfish!
Topics covered in this episode include:
- The story of Elizabeth's history with caregiving and what her hardest challenges were
- How sharing her story through a blog enabled Elizabeth to help others in the same situation
- Elizabeth's advice for caregivers and the things which helped her to look after herself
- Changes that Elizabeth would like to see in the healthcare system
- The services and support that Elizabeth provides through Happy Healthy Caregiver
