"I wanted to make the most of it." - Dona Kim Murphey

Caregiving is never just about one person, it’s about family, culture, and community. Natalie and J.J. sit down with Dr. Dona Kim Murphey, neurologist and caregiver, to explore the deeply personal and often unspoken challenges of caregiving.

From cultural expectations to the emotional and relational toll caregiving takes, this conversation dives into what it truly means to care for a loved one—especially from a distance. Dr. Murphey shares her journey shaped by her family’s experiences with illness, offering practical strategies for caregivers, the power of micro moments of self-care, and the evolving role of technology in making caregiving more manageable.

🔹 Key Takeaways:
 ✅ The impact of cultural expectations on caregiving roles
 ✅ How technology is changing the way we care for loved ones
 ✅ The emotional toll of caregiving & ways to protect your well-being
 ✅ Micro moments of self-care that make a big difference
