Wellness is a holistic, personalized endeavor. For caregivers, it’s literally the “fuel” for a long marathon - covering physical health (movement, sleep, nutrition), mental/emotional resilience, purpose and intention, finances, safe environments, and strong social ties.
Our guests - podcasters and online creators in the aging, longevity, and caregiving landscape - expanded on incorporating the multi-faceted elements of wellness into our daily lives.
Nicole Will (willGather): Spotlighted past shows addressing a wide range of topics, such as dementia resources, working-caregiver advocacy, brain-healthy nutrition, movement & neuroplasticity, and toxin-reduced environments.
Josef Katz (Prime Life Podcast): Serving consumers 55+ and focusing on living longer and better via purpose, exercise, diet, healthcare, as well as via stabilizing your finances.
JJ Elliott Hill (Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver): Focusing on the caregiver’s voice – including “the good, the bad, the ugly.” Emphasizing the need for safe spaces encouraging family caregivers to “say the quiet parts” out loud.
Kelly Stranburg (Self-Care Friday): Through social media videos, emphasizing the need to give yourself permission to prioritize yourself with small, consistent acts.
Steve Gurney (Positive Aging Community): 350+ interactive programs on wide-ranging topics like solo aging, downsizing, innovation/tech - and even meditation. And don’t forget your sense of humor!
