Three Men In the Mountains

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2043860/open_sms">Send us a text</a>Have you ever been a caregiver for a loved one?  When someone we love is sick and in need of care, it can be easy to forget our own needs and step into the role of caregiving. This, however, can lead to depression, PTSD, or other serious mental health issues for the caregiver.  In this episode of From Survivor to Thriver, we sat down with Erin Copelan who was a caregiver to her husband while he battled cancer and to her grandmother. Erin experienced the trauma of both of these experiences and had to learn how to care for herself too while managing this great responsibility.  Join us as Erin discusses perceived grief, the symptoms of PTSD and depression, the transition from spouse to caregiver then back to spouse, guilt, and so much more. Erin Copelan is a speaker, best-selling author, licensed massage therapist, and real estate investor. In 2009, she was appointed sole Caregiver to her husband as he was diagnosed with cancer, underwent multiple surgeries, and a successful liver transplant.  In her book Welcome to Caregiving: The Things Caregivers Never Talk About, she writes a LOT about her mental health and the effects caregiving had on her, including believing she could outsmart depression and episodes of PTSD.  With caregiving experience that spans over a decade in multiple states with multiple medical centers, Erin was called to share her stories with the underserved caregiving community. She was called to share hope, community, and love. She loves writing, the ocean, snuggling her kitties, and learning pottery.  In today’s episode, we cover: <ul><li>The mental health continuum</li><li>The challenges that come with being a caregiver</li><li>How PTSD can manifest after being a caregiver</li><li>The transition from spouse to caregiver back to spouse</li><li>Signs and symptoms of PTSD and depression while caregiving</li><li>What caregiver burnout is and how it manifests</li><li>The power of perceived grief </li><li>How to practice self-care while caregiving </li></ul>We hope you enjoyed this conversation with Erin!

Send us a textHave you ever been a caregiver for a loved one? When someone we love is sick and in need of care, it can be easy to forget our own needs and step into the role of caregiving. This, however, can lead to depression, PTSD, or other serious mental health issues for the caregiver. In this episode of From Survivor to Thriver, we sat down with Erin Copelan who was a caregiver to her husband while he battled cancer and to her grandmother.

Caregiving Challenges and Mental Health

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2043860/open_sms">Send us a text</a>Has your mental health ever been impacted by the things you see on the news? You’re not alone. In this episode of From Survivor to Thriver, we sat down with Julie Rose, who struggled with this to the point that she started avoiding it completely. Today, she shares the story of how she learned to manage her anxiety and start sharing the news in her own way that leaves people feeling informed and empowered rather than anxious and scared. Hearing the news doesn’t have to fill you with dread and anxiety. Join us as Julie shares how there really is a better way to be informed about the world without sacrificing your mental health. Julie Rose has been a radio journalist for 20 years, reporting for NPR local stations and network shows like Morning Edition and All Things Considered. In 2015, she began hosting a nationally syndicated live interview show on Sirius XM 143 called Top of Mind. But, after several years on the air every day, she began fighting the urge to avoid the news completely, because of how anxious and angry it made her feel. She knew she couldn’t be alone in that. So, in 2022, a new format for Top of Mind became the answer. Now a weekly podcast, the show tackles tough topics in a way that’s honest and probing, but also leaves people feeling empathetic and empowered. Julie has since become an advocate for bridging divides in public discourse, something needed more now than ever before because news avoidance and polarized information sources are a serious problem. She feels strongly that we can’t just avoid the news and expect to build the communities we want to live in. Julie has received a Gracie Award and multiple Edward R. Murrow Awards for her work in her field. In today’s episode, we cover: <ul><li>The impact the news can have on your mental health</li><li>The power of simply acknowledging what you’re feeling </li><li>How Julie came to create her podcast </li><li>Balancing solution-oriented, unbiased views on the news</li><li>The importance of curiosity and creative thinking in conversations </li><li>What to do instead of skimming the news headlines</li></ul>We hope you enjoyed this conversation with Julie!
