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!

Healing & Transformation After Caregiving, Part 2 with Ben Lazar
Are you or someone you love on the other side of the caregiving journey? Or, are you looking for ways to prepare yourself for your loved one’s transition? If so, stay tuned! Welcome back to the Dancing with Dementia Podcast! If you haven’t yet listened to Part 1 of my conversation with Ben Lazar, I highly recommend you do because this episode picks up right where we left off. In Part 1, Ben shared his powerful caregiving journey—the deep bond with his father, the complexities of stepping into the caregiver role, and how that experience shaped him. Today, we shift gears into something equally important: what happens after caregiving?
💫 How do we heal?
💫 How do we recover our energy and step forward into our new lives?
💫 How do we reconnect with joy, creativity, and ourselves?
This episode is a deep dive into the next phase of the caregiving journey—healing, renewal, and rediscovering our light after pouring so much of ourselves into others.
⚠️ Heads up, caregivers! This conversation is unfiltered, raw, and explicit! Expect F-bombs, S-bombs, and real, no-holds-barred discussions on caregiving, grief, healing, and all the beauty in between. If you're listening with little ones around, grab those headphones! 🎧
💫🎶Are You a ‘Caregiver on the Dancefloor of Life?’ 🎶💫
