Have you ever felt frustrated like the character Betty in "Betty the Bald Chicken: Lessons in How to Care?" How do you care for others when you feel down? Alzheimer's Speaks podcast host Lori La Bey joins Suzanne this hour to address the caregiver's journey, as part of the Vitality Revolution podcast series sponsored by Humana focusing this month on Emotional Wellness.

Lori uses a breathing exercise, and on the inhale asks her higher power to provide what she needs in that moment, and on the exhale asks for all of the toxins in her mind, body, and soul to release. She says this re-centers your body, calms you, and helps.

When feeling frustrated, suggests asking yourself, "what's the lesson wrapped inside this frustration that needs to be learned?" The answer might take minutes or days, but that answer helps calm and re-center yourself..

Lori La Bey has partnered with Answers for Elders and joins Suzanne this hour to address the caregiver's journey.
