Description

Sometimes we don’t realize we need to take a step back from caregiving to reconnect with our loved ones and the larger communities we’re a part of. Laketa Caston has been a dedicated caregiver to multiple family members in need over the years. She knows all too well how isolating caregiving can be without the support of others and acknowledges how self-care is equally important as caring for others. Laketa shares how she has found ways to combat isolation through movement, creativity, and a close connection to her community.  She is also launching “Caring for Caregivers,” an organization that will offer respite and resources for self-care to those dedicating time to their loved ones.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you’re one of the millions of Americans who dedicate much of their daily lives to caring for a family member, it may seem overwhelming to balance the demands of caregiving, family, work, and caring for yourself. With the emotional and physical toll caregiving can take on the body, it’s important to find ways to maintain your own health. But where do you find the time? And how do you even start? Sometimes all you need to do is go for a walk.  CareWalks is a podcast from Voltaren Arthritis Pain Gel and iHeart Radio designed to accompany you on a walk. We know any amount of movement (even just a 10-minute walk) can help your body and mind. So while YOU walk, join our host Holly Robinson Peete as she walks and talks with other caregivers, health experts, as well as others living with osteoarthritis and joint pain. Learn how our own health and well-being is just as important as the health and well-being of those in our care.
