Sarcasm Sisters

A new season, a fresh new podcast to start the year off right. We’re exploring outside our caregiving life! Funny anecdotes, interviews and interesting stories will make Sarcasm Sisters 2.0 worth the listen!

This week we interview Michelle Bassett, of Las Vegas, Nevada. Michelle is a two-time cancer survivor, and Elizabeth Dole Foundation fellow for the state of Nevada. We’re excited to talk to her about her life after cancer, what she’s doing for other caregivers and veterans families, and ask her a few fun things about Vegas along with some travel tips and don’ts. We’re drinking coffee of course, and talking about what it means to be an advocate, what it means to show story, and how anyone really can encourage others. We hope you’ll join us.

Mar shares with us her extensive teaching and public policy background to help breakdown the Request for Public Comment on the VA Program if Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC). Our democracy provides for a platform to make our voices heard. Let’s all participate in the process! Hurry: the deadline to submit comments is 12/12/2018
