Life on Repeat: A Dementia Caregiver Podcast

I love this interview with Stacy Scheel-Hirsch about 'resourcing'. Resourcing is how we access and apply self-care. Imagine all the resources we tap into within to survive and thrive.

Stacy talks us through how to access our inner resources, how mindfulness is a helpful tool and the different dimensions of wellness.

We explore stories and examples and she also shares with us about her free weekly meditation group that meets online.

Stacy is a trauma-informed mindfulness teacher, resilience coach and organizational wellness consultant. She is passionate about helping people find safe and supportive ways to connect with their humanity so that they can live each day with more purpose, empathy, and a greater sense of belonging.

Clients describe Stacy as “a deeply rooted person” and “one of those rare knowledgeable, sensitive, and talented individuals” with a “deep capacity for empathy and an ability to cut through foggy thinking with remarkable insight.”

She is the CEO and founder of Life Takes PracticeTM, the creator of Mindful Living at Work: An Eight-Week Mindfulness-Based Skills Program for the workplace, and the Mindfulness-Based Neuro-Somatic Engagement (MBNSE) Program. Stacy is also the co-founder of Cultivate, a writing and meditation retreat for women in beautiful Hood River, Oregon

Five Ways to Minimize the Sense of Isolation with Laura Vaillancourt

I hope you will enjoy this podcast episode as I talk about the sense of isolation that so many caregivers experience and how to minimize it.

I feel so strongly about supporting caregivers that are extremely overwhelmed (all of you!) and are putting others before themselves. Caregivers need every bit of encouragement and support they can get.

In this episode, we explore five helpful ways caregivers can minimize their sense of isolation and some creative examples of each:

Creating a Routine
Staying Connected
The Power of Reframing
Setting Intentions
Listening (to your inner guidance)

Music for Dementia with Grace Meadows

In this episode, we delve deep into the power of sound and music and explore how music can serve as a bridge to connect us with those who have dementia.

Grace Meadows is a music therapist and Campaign Director for Music for Dementia, a UK based campaign with a mission to make music an integral part of dementia care.

"Music isn't a nicety, it's a necessity for people living with dementia"

We explore:

The importance of sound in human beings: did you know we are wired for rhythm pre-birth through the heartbeat of our mother?
How to incorporate music into daily tasks to support smooth transitions through the day
How music can be used as a tool for those resistive moments
How music can support the caregiver/care partner
Why music is a conduit for connection and creativity
Grace shares a touching story about a man who was resisting care until a music therapist became involved
