"Dementia gave us that gift of closeness." - Katrina Prescott

In this compelling episode of The Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver podcast, hosts JJ and Natalie dive into the world of caregiving with special guest Katrina Prescott, a media producer turned caregiving advocate. 🌟

Katrina opens up about her unexpected journey into caregiving, starting at a young age, and shares invaluable lessons on overcoming the emotional, mental, and systemic challenges caregivers face. From navigating the healthcare maze to advocating for better resources, Katrina's story is both eye-opening and empowering.

Katrina also sheds light on her personal experiences caregiving for individuals with dementia. She discusses the emotional toll, finding moments of joy, and how therapeutic fibbing can help reduce anxiety for both caregivers and those they love. It’s these insights that reveal the importance of shifting societal perceptions of dementia and creating supportive communities for caregivers.

🎙️ Key Topics in This Episode:

• Katrina’s unexpected caregiving journey and advocacy mission
• Navigating the healthcare system as a caregiver
• The emotional and physical toll of caregiving
• Finding connection, joy, and meaning in caregiving relationships
• How therapeutic fibbing can transform dementia care
• Building awareness and resources for caregivers everywhere

About Katrina:

Katrina Prescott loves a challenge. With a career as a media producer in New York and Vancouver, she found herself stepping into a new role: full-time caregiver. That life-changing shift made her see firsthand how little support is available for caregivers.

Caring for her mother through young onset dementia took Katrina in a new direction—caregiving advocacy and education. Now, as a Caregiver Coach, she draws from her experience, offering judgment-free guidance for others navigating this often isolating, stressful, and unexpectedly meaningful journey.

By sharing her story openly, she hopes to spare others from the challenges she faced, aiming to reduce suffering and unnecessary work for caregivers. Her style is clear, real, and relatable, offering insights that are both effective and manageable.

With her background in producing, Katrina co-created the web series Therapeutic Fibbing, which combines real-life caregiving scenarios with learning and a touch of lightness to connect with caregivers of those living with dementia. The series has resonated with over a million viewers, offering relatable insights. Her latest project, Things Not To Say To A Caregiver, uses humor to highlight the real-life challenges caregivers face, showing these situations in a way that feels both authentic and reflective of their experiences.

In 2023, Katrina was recognized with the Caregiver Advocacy Award from the Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence. 

She’s passionate about driving real change for caregivers and those living with chronic illness, collaborating with nonprofits, researchers, politicians, and healthcare professionals.

Katrina understands that even small actions can have a big impact, and her commitment to improving the lives of those around her leaves a lasting impression. She recently formed a society – Care Nation – to develop impactful resources and create community for those who care and those who receive care.

Katrina connects with caregivers through one-on-one coaching, workshops, social media, speaking engagements, media interviews and her web series.
