Lynn Abaté-Johnson  joins Lisa to discuss the breadth and complexity of our human feelings as caregivers, particularly at the holidays.  We reflect on the paradox that embracing difficult emotions can bring more ability to adjust to them, live with them, and notice the more pleasant ones which can exist right alongside them.

After being a primary caregiver for her mom for over six years, International Best-Selling Author & Speaker, Lynn Abaté-Johnson, understands the typhoon of emotions and responsibilities that come with caring for a loved one. Like most family caregivers, Lynn juggled caregiving duties with a full-time career. In her daily life, she’s a global community builder and business consultant. Lynn wrote the book, “Out Of Love: A Daughter’s Journey With Her Mom To The End” to normalize and de-stigmatize what many families may take for granted or miss in their roles as caregivers. She offers practical tools & resources, along with encouragement for other family caregivers, with the goal of bringing light to the dark and peace to the soul.
