<p>As the navigator for her daughter’s rare disease and a Yale-trained physician, Dr. Maggie Kang, uses her personal and professional training to guide other parents through the healthcare system, helping them turn health challenges into leadership. She is a passionate advocate, TEDx speaker, and contributor to HuffPost and Psychology Today. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>In this episode, we explore how caregivers can reclaim agency for themselves and their loved ones, move beyond cycles of suffering or self-comfort, and take meaningful action—especially within the rare disease community. We also discuss the grief that accompanies losing our pre-caregiving life and how to intentionally create a vibrant, empowered “new normal.” And, you’ll learn why fresh parsley is one of Maggie’s go-to self-care strategies.</p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p>Show notes with product and resource links:</p> <p><a href="https://bit.ly/HHCPod221" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/HHCPod221</a></p> <p>Receive the podcast in your email here:</p> <p><a href="http://bit.ly/2G4qvBv" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/2G4qvBv</a></p> <p>Order a copy of Elizabeth's book Just for You: a Daily Self Care Journal:</p> <p><a href="http://bit.ly/HHCjournal" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/HHCjournal</a></p> <p>For podcast sponsorship opportunities contact Elizabeth:</p> <p><a href="https://happyhealthycaregiver.com/contact-us/" target="_blank">https://happyhealthycaregiver.com/contact-us/</a></p> <p>The Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast is part of the Whole Care Network.
