How we navigate conflict and communication with our siblings and family members can play a role in how we care for our loved ones. At times, those dynamics can stem from our childhood and influence how we interact and show up for our family members in caregiving.
My guest this week is Michele Magner. She is the founder of MicheleMagner.com and the host of Inspired Caring Podcast. Michele offers families and senior living communities support as they navigate the challenges of caring for aging loved ones by reducing stress and burnout giving families peace of mind. Michele focuses on creating calm, clarity, and confidence. These are three words we can definitely hang onto as we care for our loved ones.
Michele spent many years caring for both of her grandmothers and in-laws. Her time working in senior living communities combined with her gerontology background gives her unique insight into how to help family members on their aging journey. This episode has so many good nuggets of information. I found myself taking notes and writing down the words that Michele was sharing- I know you will too! Thank you, Michele!
