Did My Mama Play Me?!

from Parenting UP! Caregiving adventures with comedian J Smiles · host J Smiles

Every caregiver has their Everest, and for me, it was trying to create that perfect TV moment with my mom, Zetty. As she battles advanced Alzheimer's, I balance the unpredictable world of caregiving with my role as a comedian and podcaster. This episode is a raw and humorous recount of our attempt to watch my television appearance together—a plan thwarted by caregiving surprises and Zetty's own schedule. But there's a silver lining in the form of a recorded show waiting for us, a reminder that sometimes, the rerun can be just as precious as the live broadcast.Embrace the confidence of legends—Muhammad Ali's swagger, Cristiano Ronaldo's poise—as we explore why such self-assuredness is crucial, especially for caregivers who are often society's unsung heroes. Through laughter, struggles, and tales of unexpected turns, we celebrate the small victories and the profound connections that enrich the caregiving experience. Share this journey with me and remember, the next time you cross paths with a caregiver, a little recognition can go a long way in lifting their spirits.#CaregiverChronicles #AlzheimersJourney #ComedyCaregiving #CaregiverStories #EmbracingChallenges Support the show"Alzheimer's is heavy but we ain't gotta be!"IG: https://www.instagram.com/parentingupFB: https://www.facebook.com/parentingupYT: https://www.youtube.com/@parentingupTEXT  'PODCAST"  to  +1 404 737 1449  - to give J topic ideas, feedback, say hi!Be sure to leave us a review!
