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™"

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!

Caregiving, Burnout & Dancing your way to THRIVING with Your True Vibration – Part 2 with Adrienne Marioles
🎙️ Description:
Welcome back to Dancing With Dementia! I’m your host, Kama, and today, we continue our powerful conversation with Adrienne Marioles, host of Young Life Interrupted and an incredible advocate for young caregivers, who brings SO much heart, honesty, and insight to this space.
If you thought Part 1 was impactful, just wait—this episode is packed with even more wisdom, raw truths, and practical strategies for navigating caregiving with more ease, grace, and, yes, even joy!
Caregiving can feel overwhelming, lonely, and exhausting—but I want you to remember this isn’t just about caregiving. It’s about YOU, your light, your energy, and the way you show up for yourself and the world! You deserve to feel supported, to have community, and to know that you are NEVER alone.
Today, Adrienne and I dive even deeper into the emotional side of caregiving, the importance of self-care, and how mindset shifts can reframe this journey with more joy, alignment, and self-compassion. I truly believe that when one of us rises, we all rise, and conversations like these are how we lift each other up. So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s dance!
In Part 2, we dive deeper into:
💃🏻 How caregiving fits into the bigger picture of life—what it teaches us about resilience, purpose, and personal growth.
💃🏻 The importance of burnout prevention—because if you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t have the energy to care for others.
💃🏻 "SOULfishness" vs. selfishness—why putting yourself first isn’t just okay, it’s necessary.
💃🏻 The game-changing shift of starting your day by filling your own cup first—no more running on empty.
💃🏻 How to reframe the caregiving experience so it’s not just about loss, but about love, presence, and even playfulness.
💃🏻 Tools & mindset shifts to help caregivers feel more empowered, connected, and in alignment with their true selves.
✨ This episode is about stepping into your own light, energy, and vibration—because caregiving is a chapter of your life, but it doesn’t define your entire story! ✨
✨ Listen now and let’s dance through this journey together! ✨
