When Licia Thompson began her caregiving journey, she thought she knew what to expect. But little did she know that through the unexpected twists of her father's health journey, she would discover the power of a shared experience and the importance of adapting to life's challenging situations. What will this newfound understanding bring?

Licia's journey as a caregiver began when her mother's health took a turn for the worse. She had always been her mother's partner and advocate, working together to navigate the complexities of healthcare and the myriad of treatments. Licia's mother was a strong, independent woman with the ability to orchestrate her own care, relying on Licia as her supportive copilot. Through this time, Licia gained valuable insights into the importance of resilience, determination, and knowing oneself. Her caregiving experience taught her valuable lessons about personal growth and the power of a strong support system.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Effective strategies when navigating the caregiver role for divorced, terminally ill parents. 
• Uncover the secrets to balancing caregiving responsibilities in both your personal and professional life. 
• Realize the essential nature of self-care and finding support as a caregiver. 
• Learn the valuable lessons others have gained from their caregiving experiences for personal growth. 
• Uncover the available resources and benefits for caregivers, such as FMLA.
