Holiday Heart Syndrome is an interesting topic that Kelly and Nicole decided to look into further on this episode. During the holidays people are more likely to experience heart related issues which is likely not on anyone's holiday wish list! What is it, who does it affect and why?

Open enrollment season is upon us! As industry professionals, we know how tricky it can be to navigate, so we also know it's even harder for those in need of making critical decisions on which care and health packages to choose. A "wrong" choice could make an immense difference in the outcome of a medical situation. This episode can help medical professionals, aging adults, adult children, and literally anyone that has to deal with navigating Medicare in any way. Kelly breaks down so much in this episode, basically being interviewed by Nicole. DO NOT MISS THIS EPISODE.

We had a wonderful time talking with our guest Annie Kulik on this episode! She's just as passionate as we are about dementia care! She tells us exactly what Montessori means, and how Monterrori techniques can be used for dementia care but tweaked a bit to fit for our senior adults. We also chat about intergenerational day centers and how they can be good for everyone involved when it's done right! We loved out chat with Annie, and we think you will too.

In our series on self care we've talked about a lot of energy protection and other methods to avoid burnout. This week we're practicing what we preach and taking a break to rest, recharge, and refocus. Sometimes, in this and almost every industry, there's the overwhelming instinct to give it all we have, but as we're finding out - that is a recipe for disaster. Enjoy this very short, but heartfelt message, and we'll talk to you next week! 

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
Love, 
Kelly & Nicole

PS: In the meantime check out any episodes you may have missed but SWORE you'd come back to "whenever you had the time". 😉

Massages, facials & spa days are great, of course, but does that really prevent or help with burnout? We talk about real life every day methods that we're trying to learn, impliment or find out about to help us manage what is our (and almost every industry's) busiest and most hectic time of year. We definitely DO NOT have all the answers, so if you do - help your sisters out and send us a message, cause this mess is insane sometimes!

Decisions, decisions. Is it really that simple of a question to answer? Of course not and that's why we're discussing it on our unscripted show this week. We talk about the cost of the very end of life care, the individual decisions of the person in their final stages, and the unpredictability of absolutely every single thing that is medical related in life. It's a very intense and intimidating topic to talk about - but as usual, these are the topics that cause chaos when discussed too late.

Saddle up the soap-box shoes, here we go again!

With Halloween right around the corner, we're in the mood for horror, right? Well, sometimes ridiculous real life situations can be the most horrific situations of our lives, and on this throwback episode we revisit the (now hilarious) horror stories of this industry. Plus, Nicole tells us of her brand new, excruciatingly uncomfortable horror story to open the show! This episode will most likely make you laugh, so be prepared!

These topics aren't going to discuss themselves, and they will become a huge problem if they're not discussed before it's too late. Our wonderful guest is Pooja Patel, an occupational therapist and podcast host of "Aging Together". She brings several points to the surface such as, adult children waiting until it's too late to start thinking about assisted living, the generation that didn't really plan for life expectancy beyond the age of 65 yet generally living way longer, how power of attorney for health and finances are not one in the same and so much more!

As always on the show, we bring in yet another perspective in the continuum of care and we all learned something about the industry as a whole that we didn't know before we hit record. Join in for another mind opening episode and make sure you check out Pooja through the links below.
