This week, Rayna Neises, your host, speaks with Nadine Roberts Cornish. Nadine is a Certified Senior Advisor, Gerontologist, author, and national speaker. She is also the founder of The Caregiver’s Guardian (TCG) which was created from her personal experience caring for her mother. TCG provides coaching and consultation services to family caregivers across the country. In addition, TCG now offers a new program for businesses and organizations. Nadine is working on the latest addition to her multi-book series, Caregiver’s Gumbo. She shares the following insights:
- (10:49) Do not keep what you are going through and what you are experiencing to yourself as your message is important for someone else.
- (11:27) Like gumbo, caregiving has lots of messy parts which vary from family to family and takes a long time to come together to make a unique taste.
- (12:00) Caregiving is a whole lot better if you have other people supporting you in the process.
- (18:56) Being a caregiver is one of the most transformative processes that we have in our lifetime.
- (21:40) Five steps to conscious caregiving:
- Helplessness
- Recognition
- Process
- Acceptance
- Surrender
- (24:00) The progression of the Five Steps is cyclical and not linear.
