Podcast Recommendations for Caregiverās Month
Hereās why Charlotte chose this theme of podcasts on caregiving:
Caregiving is one of the hardest and most unseen roles, yet nearly all of us will experience it either by caring for someone we love or loving someone who does.
These five podcast episodes shed light on the strength, exhaustion, and humanity that come with it. Listen for insight, or share them with the caregivers in your life who deserve to feel seen.
 The Cancer Caregiver Podcast cover art | The Cancer Caregiver PodcastI made this episode because Iāve been there: sitting in the middle of uncertainty, wondering why gratitude felt impossible. Caregivers are constantly told to find silver linings, but sometimes you just need space to admit that things are hard. This conversation gives permission to do that without shame, and to find your own version of truth along the way. |
 In Sickness podcast cover art | In SicknessHost Paul Kidwell and Bob Coughlin dive into what happens when caring for others starts to wear you down emotionally and physically. The hosts talk with three authors of Relit, a book filled with honest stories from people in caregiving and helping roles who lost their spark and how they found ways to light it again. |
 Working Caregivers: The Invisible Employees podcast cover art | Working Caregivers: The Invisible EmployeesSelma Archer and Zack Demopoulos speak with Ebony Travis Tichenor, a longtime caregiver whoās been balancing caring for her mom with a demanding career for nearly two decades. She shares what life as a working caregiver really feels like. The exhaustion, the love, the guilt, and the moments of joy, and talks about how being vulnerable and authentic has helped her stay strong and connected through it all. |
 The Heart of Hospice Podcast cover art | The Heart of Hospice PodcastDr. Bauer speaks with Drs. Barry Jacobs and Julia Mayer, both psychologists and a married couple, who talk about what it really means to show up as a caregiver without trying to be perfect. Drawing from their own experiences caring for their parents with Alzheimerās and dementia, they share honest lessons about compassion, balance, and learning to care for yourself while caring for someone else. |
 Life on Repeat: A Dementia Caregiver Podcast cover art | Life on Repeat: A Dementia Caregiver PodcastThis episode looks at how simple tech tools can make caregiving a little easier. Host Laura shares practical ways caregivers can use things like shared calendars, reminders, and smart devices to stay organized, reduce stress, and create more space to just be present with the people they love. |

 Shifting Terrain podcast cover art | Shifting Terrain explores the forces both capturing and dividing the working class. Hosted by sociologist Rachel Rybaczuk, sheāll talk with experts and everyday people about the alarming reach of Christian nationalism, the inescapable influence of the manosphere, whether unions are actually the way to build power, and if immigrants are really taking your job. Shifting Terrain moves beyond simplistic stereotypes to amplify the cultural, political, and economic issues facing America's working class today. |
