Learn how people give you samples just like Cosco Wholesale and other stores, to sell you on something or gain your intrested. Did you know people can take the same approach in their relationship with you? These are the people who only share bits and pieces of themselves and never go deeper into who they are and share it with you. They can leave you feeling hungry for more and you never feel as if you're satisfied because you're only getting samples. You deserve more. It's one thing to introduce yourself through samples, but for genuine long lasting relationships you need to go deeper and connect on a level that samples just won't provide. Maybe you're giving so much of yourself to someone who is only feeding you samples of who they are. You can never be fully satisfied on samples that leave you feeling hungry for more. Visit www.samdamm.com for more help.

23 min - #6 Avoid Feeling Regret - Debating with yourself about choices
Have you ever made a choice and eventually questioned it? We all doubt ourselves from time to time. It can be a way to keep ourselves in check, but living in regret is a waste of time. Once you make decisions that can't be reversed, you can feel stuck without options. What if you ignored warnings and made emotional decisions you can't reverse? Are you stuck just living with the consequences, or do you have options? Sometimes our options aren't ideal, but that doesn't disqualify them as alternative choices. Decisions making is valuable freedom, we have, to enable what we desire in life. Include yourself in the care you give by throwing out regret!

18 min - #5 Inspire Yourself - Be creative to produce more joy in your life
With Fall and Winter approaching, I encourage you to approach these seasons intentionally. During times when people go indoors and gather with their friends and family, it can feel like a lonely time for caregivers. It’s up to you how lonely you choose to feel, and I explain why in today's podcast. The internet can be a great way to create connections. As creatures, we are also creators. Choosing to spend your time doing what you enjoy like listening to music, watching comedy shows, cooking, or crafting can be incorporated into everyday caregiving. Get busy growing more happy hormones to get you through the holiday season. You can choose to get through this season joyfully. Embrace each day with creativity for self-care, because you deserve it.

16 min - #4 My Story/Mom’s Tragedy -Part 1
After 17 years since my mom’s diagnosis of severe dementia at age 59, it tears me up and stirs emotions in me that I don’t think will ever go away. It’s always hard to recall painful memories, but it’s also helpful in reminding us of our progress and how far we’ve come in the healing. In my case, I’ve decided to write a book about my experience and to also guide caregivers in all areas pertaining to caregiving, There was a time I knew very little about what it was to be a caregiver even though I watched my mother as teenager care for my stepfather. Listen and hear our unique story of how caregiving entered my life and dementia began taking my mom’s life from her. This is part one because the story took longer than I thought it would tell. I didn’t want to leave out the important stuff, but I also wanted to keep it short, so I split it into two episodes. I hope my story helps you be guarded and aware of the possibilities that people are out there looking for opportunities to take it advantage of vulnerable people, which is what happened with my mom. I began caregiving when there wasn’t much help for caregivers, and it was at the worst time in my life. I was entering a divorce after 14 years of marriage with two children to raise on my own. I had no help, and mom was all the support I needed until she needed mine. Within six-month. I divorced, underwent a total hysterectomy, went through physical therapy following a severe car auto accident, and my mother developed early-onset dementia. One thing I know is that a positive attitude will take you very far, and since we're all human, self-care is key to surviving as a caregiver. Thank you for listening to my story and hearing about mom, because she would’ve wanted me to share it with you in order to help others avoid pain. I dedicate this podcast to my mom. She was my rock and fortress and I miss her deeply. She taught me, thru her tragedy, how with determination and an empowering mindset I can overcome any circumstance. Remember to always include yourself in the care you give. Visit my website to learn more, see photos of mom and subscribe for a copy of my book at Redefining Caregiving Website: www.samdamm.com

26 min - #3 Caregiver Crisis - Get Ready, it's Coming!
In this episode, I briefly touched on the current caregiver crisis in America. Things are looking pretty bad. The more I do my research the more I see why the media isn’t talking about it much. I still meet people who haven't even heard about it. Experts say it's inevitable and will hit the U.S. around 2030. Bottom line is there will be devastation and the only way to it is to plan and prepare. This crisis will affect our country very hard, causing families so much suffering. As the baby boomers enter retirement years in the coming years, it will be also when our country will have a shortage of caregivers like never before in history.

15 min - #2 Keeping Balance - Becoming aware
Hey everyone, I got a text reminder saying I used 50% of my usage for the month on my Internet bill. I was like what? How do I slow it down? What am I using? I need to figure out how to cut my usage down. Where do I start? As these questions flu around in my mind, I went on the Internet to investigate and saw the word BALANCE. There are a lot of words thrown around on social media, and there are a few I really embrace. Today this one brought me a revelation. 50% usage is not balanced if I’m only halfway through the month. I live a pretty controlled and balanced life, so this bothered me. My Internet usage reminder caused me to question the other areas of my life. Want to learn more about how to live a balanced life? Contact me at www.samdamm.com. Sign up for my book www.redefiningcaregivingbook.com Remember to always include yourself in the care you give by living a balanced life!

14 min - #1 Finding Comfort in Conforming - Knowing when it's right for you.
I was making a pot of soup this morning and it triggered this podcast. I decided to blanch some cherry tomatoes, but there is this one tomato that was working against me. It refused to crack and shed its skin no matter how long I boiled it. I said out loud, “You remind me of myself.” I found myself talking to a tomato about how I too have thick skin and can hold up to some pretty high heat, lol. I've never been a conformist, and I've learned sometimes it's ok to go along with something as I still maintain my own beliefs. Sometimes it's best to let down our guard and work with something instead of against it. It's easier to connect with people and influence them if we are open-minded and flexible. If we don’t shed our skin and let allow them in, we miss out on opportunities. This podcast encourages you to question why you don’t want to conform to something and decide if it's for good reasons. Keeping a tight skin doesn’t allow others to enjoy what you have to offer. caregiving.com
