For our November Thanksgiving/Holidays episode Sherri Snelling, gerontologist, author and CEO of the Caregiving Club, highlights news and some of the recent studies for National Family Caregiver Month including recent research showing 20 million more caregivers have joined the caregiver volunteer army over the last decade, how men as caregivers are dealing with their mental health and how the Sandwich Generation is challenged with financial resiliency.
And since families are gathering for the holidays Sherri shares some insights into how “respitality” can help traveling caregivers but also how caregivers can get a much-needed break during the holidays with respite care. Speaking of self-care, we know the holidays and recent adjustments to Daylight Savings Time on November 2 may negatively impact your sleep health – Sherri shares how your sleep posture tells you about the type of stress you may be experiencing during the hectic holidays.
Sherri also provides a sneak preview of Caregiving Club’s 5th Annual Holiday Gift Guide just in time for Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals. And she gives a shout-out to her fellow authors who have appeared on this podcast with books on caregiving, wellness, brain health and longevity for National Author’s Day November 1.
We specifically made this podcast a little shorter than most of our episodes so you can have more minutes to focus on you this holiday season. We are grateful for all our podcast listeners and subscribers and to all the nation’s 63 million family caregivers! Happy Thanksgiving!
