In this episode: Free course for caregivers of dementia patients, non-narcotic answers to amputees’ health issues, building healthy habits by working with a coach
In this episode we discussed the importance of education for caregivers and how you can make self care more manageable with the help of a coach.
First, we mentioned upcoming education opportunities for new caregivers offered by the Northern California and Northern Nevada chapters of the Alzheimer Association. In September and October they are offering free clinical level training courses for caregivers of dementia patients. Their six-week virtual training program Savvy Caregiver brings in dementia experts and provides caregivers with a manual to improve their knowledge, approach, skills and outlook on treating their loved ones.
Our guest Danette Penrod talks about how she was thrust into caregiving after her husband had a below knee amputation and the effect his condition had on their family.
She also mentions discovering the power of essential oils which she used as part of her husband’s regular care routine and how her passion turned into a profession.
As someone with an insight into issues in the amputee community she realized there was a lack of awareness and answers to medical issues, particularly the non-narcotic ones.
Together with her husband they created protocols to address issues, ranging from mental wellness, skin care, wound care to phantom pain.
Though Danette believes there is a place for the Western medicine she prefers an integrated approach based on nurturing six main pillars of life: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, financial and relationships. She explains how she helps caregivers address them as a Holistic Health and Lifestyle coach through an active approach to wellness. In addition she mentions her essential oils business Wellness SpOILed and great deals for caregivers interested in exploring natural medicine
Evan gave the audience a great pick me up, emphasizing the value of work caregivers do. All of us need words of encouragement so you don’t want to miss this!

In this episode: Importance of asking for help, key mental shifts to thrive as a caregiver
If you are a caregiver who once thought they could do it all, this episode is for you! On this occasion we discussed why caregivers don’t ask for help and what are the consequences of that attitude.

In the spirit of the National Self-Care Month we took the opportunity to honor the first responders involved in the rescue operation following the condo collapse in Florida.
We welcomed our first guest, Lani Almanza who talked about her inspiring caregiver journey which started with babysitting in her family and neighborhood, continued with her role as a Candy Striper and took a serious turn when her son was involved in a car accident and whose healthy deteriorated even more in the following years. Not looking after her own wellbeing during this period resulted in a number of health issues. These challenges made her aware she needed to improve her self-care and led her to research suitable options and continue her studies. At present she is a wellness entrepreneur on a mission to guide people to a more activated life in self-care, health and wellness.
