Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. A change in venue means moving to a different location, while a change in mindset refers to shifting one's perspective or way of thinking.

Knowing what your best life looks like involves identifying your values, goals, and priorities, and aligning your actions and decisions accordingly.

Encouraging people to choose their own path in life and exercise their freedom is a positive message of empowerment and self-determination.

In this episode with Dr. Taniqua Miller, we are so honored that she has graciously shared her expertise and experience with us.

The Unseen cost of caregiving with Althea Lloyd PhD

In the healthcare community and industry, how often do we talk about the care for caregivers of people with illnesses? 

In this episode, Dr. Graham and our guest, Althea Lloyd PhD discussed about supporting the supporters, caring for the caregivers and advocating for advocators of their loved ones with sickness because at the end of the day, we are humans and we equally have needs to be met - moreso if you are taking care of another human being who is sick and needs more time, care and attention. 

They talked abour different ways you can support yourself if you are a caregiver of a sick loved one and ways to ask for support. 

They also talked about breaking social norms and cultural old beliefs that’s hindering caregivers to know their limits and be able to support their sick family member and give the utmost care they need even if sometimes, that means having to relocated them to a facility that will allow them to have access to better care and assistance that you cannot always provide.
