Caring for someone you love is one of the hardest — and most profoundly human — experiences we will ever face. And yet, most of us arrive at that moment unprepared, overwhelmed, and often deeply alone.
In this episode we sit down with journalist, author, and health communicator Casey Beros, whose book Next of Kin shines a light on what it really means to step into the role of carer. Drawing from her own experience caring for her dad, Casey shares the raw truths of navigating a complex health system, surviving the emotional rollercoaster of care, and finding love and meaning in the midst of loss.
We explore:
✨ Why caring, grieving, and loving are some of the hardest — and most important — human acts
✨ The hidden weight carers carry, from burnout to the “love drug” that keeps them going
✨ Practical ways families can navigate medical, legal, and financial challenges
✨ How grief can transform into meaning — and why conversations about death can be some of the most life-affirming we’ll ever have.
This conversation is for anyone who has cared, is caring, or one day will care for someone they love. It’s a powerful reminder that while none of us can avoid loss, we can choose how we meet it — with courage, compassion, and connection. Tune in and let Casey’s story remind you: you are not alone. 💜
