Month: March 2018

When Sandy McKee approached me to speak for her online event Healthy, Wealthy, and Slim, I was, of course, honoured and interested in the topics of health, energy, and success, but it was only after speaking to her over the phone that I really GOT what Sandy is all about. Her energy, her exuberant enthusiasm, her passion, her sense of humour, her kind spirit told me that she’s the real deal. I discovered that Sandy is a woman who works from the heart and that anything she does will benefit the many people she touches.

When I had my health scare about a month and a half back (occluded carotid artery caused by a dissection – seriously!), I didn’t bat an eye (well, actually I did a bit – look up Horner’s Syndrome) at the prospect of keeping my commitment to speak for Sandy’s event. Her reply to my continued commitment made me laugh out loud! I mean, anyone who says, and I quote: “OMG you’re AMAZING Carla!!! 99.9% of people on this planet would back out gracefully-and understandably!! I can’t WAIT to tap into that genius that is currently struggling for blood flow!” is my kind of woman! And the title she gave our interview?! “Fearless Mom Kicks Chronic Disease’s Butt!”

OK, so what is Sandy up to?!  Listen to the interviews she conducted for her Healthy, Wealthy, and Slim online event, and you will be informed AND entertained. It is not a weightloss summit but all about health, energy, and success in all areas of life. Our interview is not one to be missed! So, get your seatbelt on and join us!

I have done my fair stare of caregiving. I am sure most of you reading this have, as well. For my gran, for my children, for my nieces and nephews, for my friends’ children, for my children’s friends, even for my parents at times. You get the picture. Some of us have a talent for caring for others, a gift for caregiving. For some of us, it’s just part of who we are. Sometimes caregiving comes out of necessity, and sometimes it is out of love. But most times it’s both.

But caregiving is a tough job. It can be a monumental task that takes an abundance of energy every single day, and sometimes we don’t want to do it, or at least we don’t want the stress and feelings of obligation that can come with it. How do we do this without burning out, without the stress and the toll it can take on YOU, the caregiver?

I was interviewed by Dr. Diane Darby Beach about these very topics, and I would like to invite you to listen in to hear what I think about this, as well as the many other speakers in this series.

What are the real feelings caregivers can have?
How to become more accepting and less resentful of the people you care for.
How to empower others so that they rely on you less.
How to care for yourself so that your cup is more full than empty.
