Segment Breakdowns:âł (0:00) Welcome to the Show: If Youâre Not a Caregiver Yet, Give It Time
I kick things off with a simple truth: caregiving will find all of us eventually. When it does, youâll need more than just patienceâyouâll need perspective, peace, and preferably, a sense of humor.đ (02:00) The Wild World of Grocery Shopping in a High-Crime Area
Nothing says âlife on the roadâ like having to track down an employee just to get a bottle of laundry detergent. Welcome to city living, where even soap is under lock and key. And yes, I somehow turned this into a Trump impression. Youâre welcome.đ«ïž (10:00) The Caregiver FOG: Why You Shouldnât Use High Beams in a Storm
Caregiving creates its own kind of fogâFear, Obligation, and Guilt. Whatâs the best way to navigate it? Slow down, take the next right step, and quit trying to see 10 miles down the road. (Trust me, itâs just more fog.)đ¶ (20:00) Gracie Joins the Show: Post-Surgery Reflections & Viking Laughter
Fresh out of her 87th operation, Gracie shares some raw thoughts on recovery, pain, and why I refuse to let her hold my hand during surgery. Spoiler: I like my fingers unbroken.âȘ (30:00) When the Hospital Chaplain Misses a Very Important Detail
A well-meaning chaplain stopped by and prayed for Gracie âfrom the top of her head to the tip of her toes.â Which would have been lovelyâexcept that sheâs a double amputee. A friendly reminder that reading the chart is always a good idea.đ¶ (35:00) Therapy Dogs, Prosthetics, and the Shaggy P.A.
Gracie gets a visit from a giant English sheepdog named Darla, proving that sometimes, the best medicine is covered in fur. Also, I pitch my latest movie idea: The Shaggy P.A. (Disney, call me.)đ ïž (40:00) Standing with Hope: Helping Amputees Walk Again

We close out with an update on our prosthetic limb outreach, where inmates help build legs for amputees in Ghana. Because hope isnât just something we talk aboutâitâs something we stand on. (See what I did there?)đ HopeForTheCaregiver.com

Sue Ryan, ACC, CCAâą
Co-Founder, The Caregiverâs Journeyâą
Sue Ryan and her husband were already several years into his journey with Alzheimerâs disease when the pandemic hit in 2020. Given her experience taking care of loved ones including her father and grandmother who had dementia, she naively thought she was well-equipped for this new challenge. Then Covid-created lockdowns occurred and her carefully managed system of support collapsed, just as her husbandâs Covid diagnosis arrived. Already working as a coach and advocate since 2014, Sue dug deep into her wells of support and pulled through, learning and sharing as she went. It was her sharing that caught the attention of her peer in the technology world, Nancy Treaster. Together they committed to dedicating themselves and their significant acumen to the task of creating a candid and practical lifeline for caregivers. Thus, The Caregiverâs Journey was born.
In their engaging podcasts, Nancy and Sue offer solutions for caregivers facing challenging issues such as taking away car keys, safety and incontinence. By addressing these uncomfortable topics directly, they also foster a sense of community that is often difficult for caregivers to find.
Today, Sue is a change strategist, speaker, author, podcaster and executive coach who empowers caregivers and leaders to maximize their potential. With more than 40 years of experience as a business professional while also navigating a variety of caregiving roles, she guides families to become confident, balanced, and supported on their caregiving journey. She also guides businesses to navigate the global crisis of family caregiving in business so both the organization and their valued working caregivers thrive.
Sue has authored/co-authored five bestsellers, created an award-winning online course for caregivers, is a certified hospice volunteer and caregiver advocate. Sue is a professional speaker including, TEDx, DisruptHR, and Vistage International. Sue lives in Naples, Fla., where she and her husband made their home until his passing in 2023.

Well, we're into a new year, 2025. What do you think so far? Are we off to a rousing start? Are any of you dreading a new year?
We've got some painful things coming our way this year and this month. And I'm not necessarily looking forward to it. Gracie certainly isn't.
But at the same time, each day is an opportunity. And each year is an opportunity.

In his letter to the church at Rome, the Apostle Paul urged: "If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all."
Can we do this as caregivers - when it seems there is conflict around every corner?
Absolutely. In this episode, I talk about what that looks like. Plus, we have the "Caregiver Keyboard" fired up!

Jochen (Jack)( Wurfl (92) shares his astonishing story of losing his family in the holocaust, coming to America, and his thoughts on patriotism, freedom, Israel, anti-semitism, and life.
Jack was born in 1932 in Germany to his Jewish mother and Catholic father, and lived in Austria until 1936. Anticipating Hitler's invasion of Austria, his parents sent Jack and his brother, Peter, back to Germany to live with their Jewish grandparents in Berlin.
As Hitler's persecution of the Jews intensified, Jack's grandfather sneaked the boys into hiding at a children's summer camp in the resort village of Dangast, 200 miles northwest of Berlin on the North Sea. The camp was operated by a brave and sympathetic German woman named Irma Franzen-Heinrichsdorff.
Jack and Peter lived with "Tante Irma" for twelve years, where they survived bombing raids, SS police surveillance, and food shortages. Their mother died in Auschwitz. Their father, a political prisoner in the Mauthausen concentration camp, died shortly after his liberation after World War II ended.

As a caregiver, if you go to church - why?
If not, why not?
I know what scripture says about church, but I am asking you as a caregiver: why are you doing it or not doing it?
In this episode I discuss this and what church means to me - along with some improvement opportunities when it relates to those who suffer - and those who care for them.

A powerful analogy between the chaos at the southern border and the personal consequences of not maintaining clear boundaries. Those who oppose boundaries often do so because they benefit from their absence. Failing to establish and maintain boundaries doesn't make us victimsâit makes us volunteers. I explore how beliefs shape our approach to boundaries, urging listeners to take responsibility for protecting what matters most in their lives.

A Match Made In Heaving
August 16th is our anniversary, and I'd like to take a moment to share the story of how Gracie and I met. This tale has it all: romance, humor, a bit of horror, and a lot of love.
We had mutual friends at Belmont University who thought we should meet. I was a senior, though my transfer credits were all messed up, so I didn't graduate that year. Gracie had just returned to school after recovering from a severe car wreck. When they told me she had a wreck, I didn't have any frame of reference. I had never been in a relationship with someone who was hurt. They said, "She had a pretty bad wreck, and she's back now after a year of recovering." I thought, "Okay, how bad can it be?"
I found out soon enough when she came down the walkway at the Student Center. She was a vocal performance major, and I studied composition and piano. This girl was beautiful, but she had a significant limp. She walked up to me, having heard about me, and wanted to test me out. I stood to greet her, and she said, "Can I put my feet up in your lap?" Odd question, right? But I said okay.
Her feet swelled when she sat, so she had to prop them up. She later informed me that she plopped her feet in my lap to see how I'd handle it. The first of many times she pushed the envelope with me to see how I would cope. Click to read the rest at peterrosenberger.com
