73-Marika Humphreys - Caregiving & Intimacy, Finding Connection in Challenging Times

Believe Big Podcast

When a spouse or loved one is on a cancer journey, very often they are supported by a caregiver which could be you. But, who supports the caregiver? It's a big job and an important one that requires a lot of love, encouragement and energy.
On today's Believe Big podcast, we welcome Marika Humphries, a resiliency coach for caregivers.
Marika takes us through part of her journey after her husband's cancer diagnosis, as she emphasizes the importance of reframing caregiving as an opportunity for growth rather than a burden. She advocates for self-care practices to manage overwhelming mental chatter and allow oneself to experience and process emotions effectively while caring for others.
Join me today as Marika offers many suggestions that support and encourage those who are tending to their loved one during a difficult season.
