Caregivers Uncorked!

Do you Fake the Funk? Do you tell people you are "fine" when in reality you are anything but? Join us this week as Shawn and Natasha pick apart the "I'm fine" narrative. Your mental health matters! If you are a provider, tune in to learn how you can best support the caregiver.

The caregiving journey can be long and wrought with ups, downs, and crises. We oftentimes do not get a break so we look to things that we can numb that pain away. Whether it is shopping, using substances, watching too much TV, or other ways - it isn't the answer. Join our special guest, Kelly Rai, who many of you know is an instrumental person in what we do at Operation Frontline Families.

In this week's episode we talk about how to set your self up for success when caregiving ends. We oftentimes don't want to think about losing a loved one but it is inevitable. Ask yourself this question; If caregiving ends tomorrow, will you be ok?

It is the New Year; how about setting some boundaries in your life to make it a bit easier?! In Season 1, Episdode 3, we talk about what boundaries look like, how to set them and most importantly how to keep them!

In this episode, Natasha and Shawn talk about the affects of caregiving on the children, Hidden Helpers, of wounded veterans, and first responder/front line workers. There 2.3 million children who are secondary caregivers in the United States. Hear how these caregiving roles change the lives of the children involved. 

Tune in to meet Natasha and Shawn, two veteran family caregivers and social workers, who are on a journey to bring awareness to the oftentimes not talked about stuff of caregiving. Down to earth, sarcastic, funny, and fun - you will be left either in tears or laughing your *ss off.....or maybe both!
