Non-Diet Focused Movement for Caregivers with Jamie Carbaugh

11/27/23 • 42 min

Caregivers often struggle with finding time to create a consistent workout routine. We know we need physical exercise, but trying to find the time to do it when everyone else needs our time and attention can be exhausting.

We feel guilty for not working out, but we feel guilty for spending time on ourselves when we do.

But what if we thought of working out or exercise as MOVEMENT?

What if that movement was about making us feel GOOD, not GUILTY?

Our guest today, Jamie Carbaugh is a Virtual Personal Trainer Group Fitness Instructor and founder of FitRaggamuffin. Her non-diet movement channel teaches her clients joyful movement for reasons beyond the scale.

In this episode we talk about the REAL benefits of moving your body and how you can incorporate joyful movement into your busy caregiving schedule without the guilt!

Navigating Grief and Creating New Holiday Memories with Caregiver, Rachel O'Brien

In this week's episode, I interviewed my good friend and fellow caregiver who has walked through this journey and shared much wisdom with me about caregiving, parenting, and grieving loss while still moving forward with her own life, goals, and purpose.

Rachel's story is encouraging, inspiring, and heart-felt. She shares how she was intentional with her time, created and maintained boundaries, and practiced self-care in the midst of her mom's last few months on earth.

She also shares how grief has changed in the years since her mom passed away and how she continues to remember her without feeling stuck in her grief.
