#410 - TURNING LIFE'S HARDEST MOMENTS INTO HUMAN WISDOM, with Casey Beros

Caring for someone you love when they're going through a significant is one of the greatest privileges of a lifetime - and also one of the hardest seasons you will ever walk.

In this episode, I sit down with award winning health journalist and author, Casey Beros. Casey’s latest book, Next of Kin - What to Expect When You’re Expecting to Care for Someone You Love, was born from her deeply personal experience caring for her beloved dad through a terminal diagnosis of mesothelioma.

Our conversation is raw, honest, practical and full of heart.

We talk about what really happens behind the scenes when someone you love becomes seriously ill, and how to keep showing up with love without completely burning yourself out.

Here are just a few of the beautiful takeaways waiting for you:

1. Why there is no “person with the clipboard” - and how to step into your role as an advocate in the medical, legal and emotional side of care, even if you feel totally unprepared.

2. Simple ways to care for yourself when you have “no time” - including Casey’s brilliant micro habits approach that takes just one minute at a time.

3. How to talk about death, grief and the “after” in a healthier way, including what Casey learned from death walker and educator Zenith Virago.

4. A powerful reminder not to wait for “one day” to live your dream life, book the trip and enjoy the people you love while they are still here.

Whether you are currently a carer, you love someone who is, or you simply want to be better prepared for life’s inevitable seasons, this episode will hold your hand and gently nudge you into action.
