The Uncensored Caregiver Podcast

Are you wondering if you can survive taking care of your aging parents with dementia? Everywhere you look there are explanations about what happens in the mind of a person with different forms of dementia (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Lewy Body, vascular, and many others) and how to meet their needs in this season of their lives. Master Coach Iryna Ishchenko talks openly, honestly, and occasionally provocatively about you, the caregiver, whose needs are not met because you give all of yourself to meet the needs of others, and what happens in your mind. This podcast is about you and what it takes to take care of yourself to be able to take care of your family members with dementia and how to thrive in your caregiving journey, even if you think you can’t survive it.
