The No BS Guide for Caregivers: What the Healthcare System Won't Tell You with Tiffany Auvil

Tiffany Auvil spent more than twenty years inside the U.S. healthcare system before becoming the caregiver for her own husband, Dave, through cancer. That experience revealed just how much even her professional knowledge couldn't protect them. Dave passed away at home in April 2025. She's now the author of the upcoming book, The No BS Guide for Caregivers: How to Survive the Healthcare Maze.In this episode, Tiffany shares what being on the other side of the bed taught her that two decades of nursing never did, the night a clerical error nearly cost Dave the start of his cancer treatment, and why so much feel-good caregiving advice does more harm than good. She also opens up about being with Dave when he died at home, and what the first year of widowhood really looks like.What We Talked About:What caregiving taught her that nursing never didA clerical error that almost cost Dave lifesaving treatmentA year-long misdiagnosis and what it revealed about the systemWhy "just stay positive" fails caregiversBeing with Dave when he died at homeWhat the first year of widowhood really looks likeConnect with Tiffany Auvil:Website: tiffanyauvil.comFacebook, YouTube & Instagram: linked on her profile
