Self-Care for Caregivers

As we kick off our month long series on Care for the Caregiver during National Family Caregivers Month, I am so excited to welcome Nicole Dauz Self-Care Expert.   Nicole Dauz is a self-care coach and advocate who has committed to choosing happiness despite her circumstances. She's also the proud mother of a neurotypical son and a daughter with a rare genetic disease and autism.   Her mission is to change the story around caregiving and celebrate the journey. She honours the role of the caregiver by helping them recognize their worth and their true gifts.   As a self-care coach, she works with family caregivers who feel overwhelmed and at the end of their rope. She understands how caregivers are feeling as she spent the first five years of her caregiving journey in complete denial of all emotions as she was in shock that her daughter had an intellectual disability and would need weekly therapy to learn how to walk, feed and dress herself. Nicole's clients come to her because they feel stressed to the max. She provides them the tools and strategies needed to shift them from feeling stressed and overwhelmed to regaining control of their lives and feeling gratitude and joy in their lives.   Listen in as Nicole explores with us the importance of self-care for caregivers and why so many caregivers don't believe they're worthy.
