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!

Move Your Muscles, Nourish Your Brain: The Joyful Science of Brain Health with Rachel Daugherty (Part 3 of 3)
Hey hey, beautiful caregiver souls!
Did you know your muscles are glucose sponges and movement is one of the most joyful ways to support your brain? In this high-energy finale to our 3-part series with Rachel Daugherty, we dive into the power of movement, protein, sugar awareness, and self-love as tools for long-term brain health.
If you're a caregiver, a cycle-breaker, or a vibrant being craving sustainable, soul-aligned wellness that supports your whole self—this episode is your reminder that tiny changes can spark massive transformation.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE DANCE THROUGH:
💪 Why your muscles are your brain’s BFF—and how even 10 squats can help regulate blood sugar.
🌈 The joyful magic of “fitness all the time” (yep, vacuuming in your underwear counts!).
☕ Why you might want to delay coffee until after breakfast—and how that supports cortisol balance.
🥚 Why Rachel eats 30–40g of protein every morning—and how that fuels her body and brain.
🍒 How to gently reduce sugar without shame (ever tied frozen cherries?).
💖 Per Rachel D, "The wake-up can come from fear, but the action comes from love!"
PLUS:
🧠 Easy movement tips, kitchen hacks, songs that shift the vibe (hello, Glenn Miller & Glass Animals!), and how to celebrate your wins without perfectionism.
🎧 Whether you're squatting after dinner, stirring eggs before coffee, or dancing it out in your bathroom—this episode will light up your day and empower your brain for the long run.
