About
When I stepped into caregiving, it completely turned my life upside down after an unexpected crisis demanded I take action. This journey exposed me to the harsh realities many face—balancing emotional stress with the whirlwind of unforeseen responsibilities. I want to introduce you to the concept of 'sharegiving,' a strategy to distribute the caregiving load within a community. With over 55 million unpaid caregivers in the U.S., I want to shed light on the immense, often unseen work they do, valued at over $600 billion. But this isn't just about numbers; it's about real people facing real challenges. My story is a heartfelt call to transform caregiving from a solitary struggle to a collective mission, ensuring that caring for a loved one doesn't mean losing oneself. I invite you to join me in rethinking caregiving, aiming for a journey that’s about smart management, not just more sacrifice.About Me:I have cared for many family members across the life span, experiencing the joys and challenges of child-rearing, the poignance of caring for parents, friends, and elder partners. I realized that I could not handle the stress of family caregiving 24/7/365. It was time for a new approach to caring. My health and happiness were slipping away. This is how Think to Thrive for Caregivers evolved. Let your mind meet your heart so you don’t lose track of your life.Connect with Me:https://www.deborahgreenhut.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborahgreenhut01/Find my books hereThanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!
