This week, Rayna Neises, your host, talks with Erin Galyean. Erin is an author, speaker, and sales trainer. From her professional experience, combined with losing her father and sister, she has become a patient advocate and wants to share her knowledge with others so they can do the same.  Erin provides the following insights: 

  • Without a caregiving team, you are robbing others of the opportunity to help, serve, love, and bring their gifts and talents to the table.
  •  Distance caregiving is just as important.
  •  Offer to serve in the role of VP of Communications or Meal Train Coordinator.
  • Do not be afraid to ask questions. Write them down and make them open-ended.
  • Ask if conversations with doctors can be recorded.
  • Everyone needs a notebook!
  •  Create a strong morning routine that includes self-care.
  • Get in touch with Erin at www.badassadvocate.com and find her books, ‘Badass Advocate: Becoming the Champion Your Seriously Ill Loved One Deserves” and “My Badass Advocate Journal” on Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
