This week, Rayna Neises, your host, speaks with Charlotte Bayala. Charlotte used her training and experience as a yoga instructor and meditation teacher to enjoy her caregiving experience with her husband who had thyroid cancer. She is the creator of the Love Your Caregiving Life podcast and the Caregiving Confessions monthly digital magazine. Charlotte uses her skills and knowledge to help other caregivers find easier ways to love their lives again and to support them on their way to thriving instead of just surviving. She provides the following insights:  

• (9:00)  You have to just come to a place where you feel happy with the results
• (12:00)  It is important to go on the journey to figure out how to be you while loving, serving, and caring for your loved one.
• (13:00)  Once becoming a caregiver, you have to figure out who the new person is.
• (16:27)  Caregivers need something they can do every day for self-care. 
• (20:50)  Caregivers do deserve to enjoy their lives, and the perfect time is right now.
• (21:43)  Self-care needs to be a requirement and not a gift or prize.
• (25:06)  Put resources and time into helping you and figuring out what you need
• (26:58)  Caregivers need a team of their own.
• (30:02)  Find Charlotte at www.LoveYourCaregivingLife.com.
