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!

Advocacy is Love in Action
Have you ever found yourself as a caregiver—especially a young caregiver—feeling unheard, dismissed, or unsure whether to speak up? You are not alone. In this heartfelt solo-sode, host Kama shares a recent, personal story that sparked a powerful reminder: your voice matters.
Through real-life caregiving experiences and wisdom gained from over 20 years in healthcare, Kama invites listeners to step into their power, borrow courage when needed, and advocate fiercely and lovingly for those they care for. Whether it's navigating care homes, assisted living, or medical teams, this episode reminds us that advocacy is not aggression—it's love in action.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to speak your truth, this is it.
In this episode, Kama shares:
- Why young caregivers often feel dismissed—and why that needs to change
- The power of advocacy, even when your voice shakes
- A behind-the-scenes story of speaking up at her mother’s care home
- Why escalating concerns to leadership is not just okay—it’s necessary
- A heartfelt message from another resident’s family that sparked today’s message
- Encouragement to be "that person" who speaks up for what's right
- A soul pep talk to carry you through the tough moments
