Episode 2 —

The Season That Almost Made Me Quit

What happens when faith, family, business, grief, and responsibility all collide at once?

In this deeply personal episode of the Patient Hands Podcast, Carmen opens up about the seasons that brought her close to walking away—from the challenges of mixing family and business, to the pressure of entrepreneurship and motherhood, to experiencing loss, changing family dynamics, and watching the people she loves face serious health challenges.

There was a point when simply keeping the business functioning was about all she had left to give. But what felt like a breaking season ultimately became a season of realignment.

Carmen shares how God used some of the hardest moments of her life to pull her closer, strengthen her faith, shift her priorities, and remind her that sometimes stepping back doesn’t mean giving up—it means making room to hear God more clearly.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, discouraged, disconnected from your purpose, or wondered whether you still have what it takes to keep going, this conversation is for you.

🎙️ In this episode: Faith. Family. Business. Perseverance. Grief. Realignment. And finding your way back to purpose.

Real Stories. Real People. Real Impact.
Patient Hands Podcast — All Things Healthcare: Applying Faith & Focus.

Every journey has a beginning. In this first episode of Patient Hands Podcast, I share the real story behind Patient Hands Home Care, the inspiration behind my book Home Care Chronicles, and the personal experiences that shaped my mission to serve others with compassion, faith, and purpose. This is where it all began.

Welcome to the Patient Hands Podcast. Before we dive into Episode One, I wanted to take a moment to welcome you and share why this podcast has been reimagined. What was once the Positive Health Podcast has evolved into something much bigger—a place where we talk about caregiving, dementia, home care, entrepreneurship, faith, and finding purpose through life’s greatest challenges. Thank you for being here. This is just the beginning.

In this final episode, we will have more of a conversation. I go over each episode and I give my insights on why I chose each episode and what impact it had on me, and what I hoped everyone got out of each of them.  I also go over what's to come in season two, a new and even better season with many amazing guests and very exciting topics! 

Welcome to episode 3! Have you always had that one lingering question when it comes to in-home healthcare? Well, this episode might be just the place to get that answer. We will be discussing topics that go overs 6 different questions that are often asked in this industry. 

We are excited to have guest speakers from Patient Hands Home Care to give their insight on these questions.  Tune in and get informed!!!
