Arts for All talks with Kristin and LIza about how they're supports those with disabilities, memory, veterans and more in artistic expression. Also, Tim Markle from The forgiveness Factor helps us learn more about the power of forgiveness.

Let's have some fun -

Let's talk about sex! Well... at least how you can strengthen your marriage and intimacy while being a family caregiver! Join us as we speak with Monica Lynne Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, MA, LMHCA from Snoqualmie, WA

Kristin and Liza discuss how sometimes the most difficult person to care for is yourself. After all, you can't care for anybody if you can't care for yourself.

Kristin and Liza are joined by Molly Cooney and Tami Jackson of the Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities to discuss caregiving from a more administrative angle. Maneuvering through bureaucratic red tape and legislative jargon is headache inducing, but it's critical to understanding - and providing - care in the state you live.

Kristin and Liza are joined by Jessica Cannon, author of 'The Proactive Caregiver'. We discuss the transition into caregiving roles, coming to terms with a different way of life, and being proactive in the name of providing the best possible care - both for you and those being cared for.

On a special episode of The Empowered Caregiver, Liza is joined by her husband Mike Crute and her son Cayden to discuss Cayden's autism diagnosis, the challenges associated with learning so much so fast, and the ever growing list of reasons they feel so blessed.

Today Kristin and Liza are joined by two organizations who represent the Down Syndrome Community. The first half of the show is spent with Rachel Reit and Nick Bower from the Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin-South-Central, and the second half they speak with Kelly Antonson from Gigi's Playhouse, a non-profit focused on providing services to families caring for differently-abled loved ones.

Kristin and Liza are joined by Ruth Schriefer, a professor at UW-Madison Division of Extension in Iowa County, and Shelly Reukauf & Valerie Hiltbrand from the Aging Disability Resource Center of Iowa County to discuss Healthy Aging in Rural Towns.

In our last episode of November, we continue honoring the amazing people providing care for clients and loved ones alike. We speak with:

Neil Miller

Patrick Kuelz

Reid and Leah Kuelz, and Genevieve Poppe -

about the caregivers in their lives, and the tremendous work they do. Thanks for listening to The Empowered Caregiver!

We're taking next week to spend thanksgiving with friends, family and loved ones. We will return on December 1st for another hour of The Empowered Caregiver show.

This hour, Kristin and Liza bring on several caregivers who have been nominated to be recognized for their incredible dedication and love for their families. The family and friends of these caregivers have written letters to demonstrate the impact they make on everyone around them, and we hear the award winners' reactions live.

Congratulations to Karl Pierick, Sharon Katovich, and Fay Losso! They are an inspiration to us all, and they have each won a caregiver gift box from Allison at The Negative Space. You can check out her website here: www.thenegativespace.life
