This podcast is a place for us to come together and share our stories, our challenges and our small victories. It's also a place where we can learn from experts about how to make our lives manageable with down to earth tips and resources. It's time to be honest about being a frontline caregiver and it's time to learn and accept help.

Does the thought of the upcoming holidays fill you with dread instead of joy? Does seeing all the sparkly commercials with bright eyed children playing pianos and cute dogs snuggled by the fireplace wearing hats make you question your own life? Well - you're not alone!!
The holidays can be wonderful, joyous times, but for caregivers also come with unique stresses and feelings of loss.
On today's show, I have a great conversation with Rick Lauber who is the author of 2 caregiving books - "Caregivers Guide for Canadians" and "The Successful Caregivers Guide." We discuss some down to earth tips to help you navigate this time and hopefully reduce your stress.
Rick also is offering 3 free copies of "The Successful Caregivers Guide as a gift to you. Head on over to "On the Frontlines of Caregiving" Facebook page for details!
