Send us Fan Mail What happens when your aging parent starts struggling to get out of their chair—but absolutely refuses to give up the chair they love? Jeanette talks with Matt Cavanaugh, Director of Customer Engagement at Enhance-It, about a simple device that converts an existing recliner into a powered lift chair. They discuss how even a small amount of assistance can make standing easier, why repeatedly lifting a loved one can take a physical toll on caregivers, and how maintaining the ab...
Send us Fan Mail Most caregivers already know music can be comforting. But there’s a big difference between putting on a favorite playlist and intentionally using music as a caregiving tool. Jeanette talks with board-certified music therapist and SingFit co-founder Andy Tubmann about how active singing, rhythm and movement can help caregivers connect with someone living with dementia. Andy shares what he learned professionally after more than 25 years working with music therapy—and personally...
Send us Fan Mail What if your aging parent had a simple way to tell you when they actually needed help? No phone. No complicated app. No yelling from another room. And no constant monitoring. In this episode, Jeanette talks with Dominique “Dom” Austin, founder of Parent Ping, about the constant state of alert many caregivers experience. Dom originally created Parent Ping for exhausted parents caring for newborns. But almost immediately, families caring for aging adults began telling her they ...
Send us Fan Mail Talking to an aging parent about driving, assisted living, finances or accepting help can quickly turn into an argument. According to Aging and Change Coach Tami Calais, one reason is surprisingly simple: families often begin the conversation with the solution already decided. “Mom, you need to stop driving.” “We need to talk about assisted living.” “You need someone helping you at home.” After 16 years in senior living, Tami has seen what happens when families wait until a c...
Send us Fan Mail Most people don’t become caregivers gradually. Sometimes everything changes with one phone call. For Nicole Smith, it was more like three. Her mother developed Alzheimer’s, her stepmother was diagnosed with aphasia, and her father dealt with normal pressure hydrocephalus—all while Nicole was navigating family life and the uncertainty of 2020. That experience eventually led Nicole to become a Certified Senior Advisor, Daughterhood circle leader, caregiving advocate, and author...
Send us Fan Mail Caregivers often become responsible for the essentials: medications, medical appointments, finances, transportation and safety. But what happens to the small moments that make an older adult’s life enjoyable? In this episode, Jeanette Yates speaks with Nick Mehdi, co-founder of Donna, an AI phone companion designed for older adults. The idea began when Nick noticed that his grandfather—a lifelong Detroit Tigers fan—kept missing baseball games because he did not realise they w...
Send us Fan Mail Can you love the person you care for and still feel angry, resentful, exhausted or desperate for the caregiving to end? Brent has spent nearly two decades caring for his wife, Trudy, after she was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson’s disease at 33. In this honest conversation, Brent and Jeanette discuss the side of long-term caregiving that is often hidden behind inspirational quotes and toxic positivity. Brent explains why caregiving can feel like a “death by a thousand cu...
Send us Fan Mail Most families do not make a comprehensive long-term care plan before they need one. Instead, they rely on a few assumptions: “Mom will move in with me.” “My siblings will help.” “We’ll figure it out when the time comes.” But when an aging parent experiences a fall, receives a diagnosis, develops dementia, or can no longer live safely without assistance, those assumptions can quickly become a family crisis. In this episode of From Guilt to Good, Jeanette Yates speaks with ...
