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!

Caregiving, Family Conflict & Finding Your POP Team with Jane Wolf Frances (Part 2)
Welcome back, beautiful souls. This is Part 2 of our heartfelt and inspiring conversation with Jane Wolf Frances, psychotherapist, author of “Parenting Our Parents: Transforming the Challenge Into a Journey of Love,” and creator of the global POP Coaching Program.
In this episode, we go deeper into family dynamics, and how to co-create your caregiving dream team, no matter how complicated things feel right now. We talk about spousal caregivers, long-distance support, and why finding your strengths (and your people!) can change the whole journey. Plus: how music and forgiveness can become soul-level medicine—for your loved one and for you.
This is a masterclass in intentional caregiving, family healing, and finding peace in the mess!
This one’s for every caregiver, and every soul supporting a caregiver.
In this episode we chat:
- How to build your POP Team & assign roles based on natural strengths
- When it’s time for each team member to ask: “How would I like this to go?”
- The power of forgiveness as freedom
- Music is medicine! Why music awakens memory—even in advanced dementia
- How to move from sacrifice to choice with the words: “I choose to…”
- And ways that might help to get your family on the same page, even when it feels impossible
