The Caregiver Cup Podcast

Send Cathy a text:)

Discover how simple, local activities can create joy and lasting memories during the caregiving season, even when grand summer adventures feel out of reach. From intimate picnics and garden strolls to cozy movie nights at home, this episode shares heartfelt personal experiences that prove happiness and connection don't require elaborate plans. You'll also learn about a new text feature for listener engagement, and find out how you can share your own caregiving stories on the podcast. Plus, joining our newsletter will keep you in the loop for even more interactive communication.
The episode also dives into the mental and emotional benefits of spending time outdoors with loved ones. Picture sipping beverages on the patio, listening to music, and attending vibrant community events like food truck rallies and church picnics. For those caring for elderly or ill loved ones, we provide practical tips for accessible outings to botanical gardens, museums, and zoos, along with the joys of gardening, crafting, and thrifting. These activities not only entertain but also strengthen familial bonds, making every moment count.
