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

Today I’m thrilled to introduce you to a truly inspiring woman - Jacinta Duffy, founder of Life Shared. After two decades across nursing, healthcare and aged care - and supporting her own parents - Jacinta saw the human cost of loneliness and the pressure on families. So she set out to reimagine care and connection through intergenerational home-share.  In our conversation we explore the sliding-door moments that shape a dream life - redundancies, pivots, and the courage to “shine your light” even when media or public speaking feels uncomfortable. We also talk about the power of doing the work - daily rituals, weekly reflections, and stacking quarters of progress - something our Dream Life Coaching community knows well. Three takeaways you’ll love: Mindset shift: Why setbacks can be setups for comebacks - and how to keep walking through hard seasons. Rituals that work: The simple planning + reflection cadence (daily/weekly/quarterly) that fuels momentum. Start before you’re ready: The gentle nudge to share your message, say yes to media, and connect with the right people. Pop in your earbuds and enjoy this heart-opening, practical episode.
