Welcome to episode #222. I, Jen, can’t believe I’ve been podcasting for four years. I still feel like a newbie. This episode is a little bit of my story, including what it was like losing my Mom during the pandemic. I also talk about what I’ve learned from doing this show, and, a little bit of behind the scenes into how the show gets made.

When Jen started out on her podcasting journey she planned on sharing all she knew. That didn’t last long. After tapping into her less than a deep well of knowledge, Jen branched out & spoke to local people in the caregiving niche. It didn’t take long to have to venture further out and talk to people worldwide!

Jen will be bringing more of her personal stories in season 5 which starts May 2022!

Could there truly be a cause & cure for aging?  Could aging have a cure? Besides dying young? As a naturally curious person, I was intrigued by this possibility. I was even more intrigued when I realized I’d be talking about someone who is a nuclear physicist AND a biblical scholar.

Aging: Cause and Cure reveals two newly discovered vitamins that are no longer naturally available today. Like all of the previously known vitamins, they appear to be necessary for optimal health and well-being. Ongoing research continues to demonstrate the extreme importance of daily supplementation of these vitamins in the human diet.

Whether you believe there is a potential cure for aging or not, tune in to this fascinating conversation. Making you think about life in a new way is also good for your brain!

We’re talking about forgetting what’s lost and focusing on what is left. Most caregivers have likely heard the term person-centered care; however, how many of us truly understand what that means? It likely means different things for different people and that’s understandable.  The best definition I have found is this: Person-Centered Dementia Care is a way of providing care focused on knowing the UNIQUE person through respectful close relationships that foster normalcy, choice, purpose, belonging, security and strengths.

Family caregivers have more knowledge of their loved ones as compared to paid caregivers, but as they lose abilities, we may feel that we don’t know our person at all. For example, I had been told to simplify the hobbies or activities Mom loved but that never worked. My attempts to do just that actually caused more stress and frustration. Understanding how to care by forgetting what’s lost and focusing on what’s left would have helped both of us tremendously.

After hearing this episode with two caregiving trainers, you’re likely to have a better grasp on how focusing on what’s left is an easier way to provide care.
