A Caregiver & Host of The Caregiver Cup Podcast

Seven years ago, my world was turned upside down. Within just two weeks, the two most important men in my life were diagnosed with Stage 4 cancers. Overnight, I was thrust into the demanding roles of caregiver, while trying to maintain my corporate career and healthy lifestyle.

I quickly discovered that balance is a myth. I hit rock bottom fast – anxiety, stress, and overwhelm were at their worst. There were days I didn’t want to get out of bed, moments when I couldn’t focus, times I resented my new caregiving responsibilities, and countless instances where I simply couldn’t figure out how to cope.
