Dancing With Dementia™
Welcome to Dancing With Dementia™—the go-to podcast for young and atypical caregivers navigating the challenges of caring for a loved one with a chronic illness.
I’m Kama Newbry, a nurse, coach, educator, advocate, and daughter turned caregiver after my mom was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s in my early 30s. Like so many, I struggled to find support tailored to young caregivers—those of us balancing careers, identity, family dynamics, and deep soul shifts… all while caregiving.
This podcast is your compassionate resource for:
- Caregiver wellness tips
- Emotional and energetic tools
- Practical strategies for caregiving of all kinds, including dementia
- Mind-body healing and burnout prevention
- Community connection for young caregivers, AKA, "Caregivers on the Dancefloor of Life™"
Whether your loved one is at home, in assisted living, or in a care facility, this space is for you.
We explore everything from self-care and intuitive caregiving to grief, advocacy, spirituality, energy medicine, and the very real ups and downs of showing up for someone you love.
Our mission? To infuse love, light, levity, and joy into the caregiver journey—while offering grounded support, powerful conversations, and actionable tips, tricks, tools, and resources you can use right away!
Because you’re not just surviving—you’re rising.
Join us on the Caregiver Dancefloor of Life, where together, WE RISE!
Dancing With Dementia™
Dancing From Surviving To Thriving as a Young Caregiver, Part 1
Surviving & Young Life Interrupted, to Thriving on the Caregiver Dancefloor
Description:
Welcome to the first episode of Dancing with Dementia! It’s been a long time coming, and my heart is bursting to share the magic we’re creating, together.
In this episode, I am joined by Adrienne Marioles, the inspiring host of the Young Life Interrupted podcast. Adrienne became a caregiver for her mother at a young age, a journey that completely transformed her life. In this episode, we dive deep into what it truly means to care for a loved one, the unique challenges young caregivers face, how caregiving can impact relationships and career, and the emotional toll—and unexpected gifts—of stepping into this role “early” in life (AKA, on the Dance Floor of life)
We also explore:
💃🏻 Navigating burnout and mental health while caregiving.
💃🏻 How to ask for and accept help!
💃🏻 The power of storytelling in healing and advocacy.
💃🏻 Finding joy, purpose, and connection as a young caregiver.
💃🏻 Connection is key! As often as possible, prioritize people and things that infuse your LIGHT!
This conversation is raw, real, and packed with wisdom for anyone caregiving while on the Dance Floor of life!
You are not alone. Join us for part 2 next week, February 12th!
