Dancing With Dementia™: A Caregivers Rising Podcast
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!

Dancing With Dementia™: A Caregivers Rising Podcast
The Caregiver’s Guide to Building Your Dream Team!
Have you ever wondered if the caregiving system could truly change—or if you’ll always be fighting the same battles alone?
In this solo episode of the Dancing With Dementia™ Podcast, host Kama, a Board-Certified Nurse Coach, Fierce Caregiver Advocate, and Young Caregiver Daughter for her Mother, shares powerful updates, real-world solutions, and advocacy strategies that prove change is possible.
As a promised follow-up from episodes in early June, this episode is about the solutions curated from the common systemic eldercare challenges experienced earlier this year.
Kama reveals how leadership shifts transformed the atmosphere at her mom’s care home, why building a multidisciplinary team (PT, OT, Speech, Palliative, and Community) changed everything, and how family collaboration among residents’ loved ones created momentum for positive change. She also spotlights Synapticure, an innovative resource for families facing neurodegenerative conditions, providing access to specialized neurologists, case managers, therapy referrals, and support—even in rural or homebound situations.
Whether your loved one is at home or in a facility, this episode equips you with practical tools, inspiring stories, and reminders that you are never truly alone.
Together, caregivers can turn wounds into solutions, build synergy, and rise stronger!
