Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I'm sharing some difficult and hard-earned lessons learned about caring for my aging parents.As a couple, despite my mother's moderate and progressing Alzheimer's disease and my father's mobility challenges, they are able to live independently. This cherished independence was threatened by a recent fall and hip fracture that landed my father in the hospital for 9 days, a skilled nursing/rehabilitation facility for another 7 days, and 24/7 caregivers when he finally arrived home.If you're in a similar situation, check out this episode for practical strategies on managing caregiver stress, the importance of getting quality sleep, and how to balance the desire of elderly parents to maintain independence while ensuring their safety.  RESOURCES: Register for the FREE Masterclass: 5 Keys to Protecting Your Brain Health Book a FREE Discovery Call with Amy Lang Order Amy's book Thoughts Are Habits Too: Master Your Triggers, Free Yourself From Diet Culture, and Rediscover Joyful Eating.
