In our final episode, Keith unpacks how practicing compassion and celebration help us to relate to one another and renew resilient care.

Miscommunication and conflict can be one of the greatest challenges to resilient caregiving, or it can open us towards mutual understanding and sensitivity. Episode 8 of this Renew podcast explores tips and tricks as we relate to other and practice effective communication, even in the midst of conflict!

Do you know who you are as a caregiver? As a person? Maybe the caregiving journey is more about discovering who we are in relation to one another. Join Keith for Episode 7 as we talk about how discovery can help us be more resilient caregivers and care professionals.

Do you look for outward circumstances to change in order to find happiness? As caregivers, resilience can come from "finding thanks" in both times of joy and times of great difficulty. Join us as we explore the practice of gratitude in daily life.

What is your "circle of concern?" Do things outside of your control constantly wear down your ability to care well for others? As caregivers, learning to manage our own and others' expectations of us helps us to invest in what really matters.

This episode explores self-care as an art: the art of resilience. Just as grief and loss are unique, so our response must be unique as well. The art of resilience in caregiving is not about giving it all, but about giving well.

In the third episode of Renew, Keith explores the differences between burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma. How do little losses add up over time, and what can we do about it?

This episode of Renew gives an overview of the course and then explores the beauty and difficulty that can arise when we view our work as a calling. How does seeing "care as calling" both inspire us to do the work that we do and sometimes cause us grief and frustration?

In this first episode, Dr. Keith Dow introduces the Renew course for caregivers and how it came about. The journey of caregiving is beautiful yet also challenging. We need hope and meaningful practices to sustain the work that we do.
