Author, Janet Fouts, When Life Hits the Fan: Caregivers Caring for Ourselves

Janet Fouts new book “When Life Hits the Fan – A Mindful Guide to Caring for Yourself While Caring for Others,” is based on her own experience as a family caregiver and the experiences of dozens of caregivers she interviewed for the book. The book brings to life stories and the challenges faced by those who manage or assist in care for their loved ones. Janet includes exercises taken from her training in emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and positive psychology to help us understand what is causing us to respond in certain ways, and how to build resilience as well as compassion for ourselves and others. I think Janet would be an amazing guest on your show. She’s had podcasts of her own since 2000 and her most recent show, “Mindful Social” is on Spreaker https://www.spreaker. com/user/jfouts  A bit more about Janet.
