    Are you a family caregiver who is dealing with Alzheimer’s or dementia in your life and you feel overwhelmed with the never-ending challenges you face, and don’t know where to turn for help? Are you searching for answers to your questions about dementia, joining countless Facebook groups but find them toxic and a waste of your precious time? Do you want to face your dementia caregiving journey in a proactive way, but feel confused about where to even start? Are you juggling your marriage, your kids, your work, your faith and your loved one’s life and still feel like you are letting everyone down? Learning the skills you need to simplify your dementia caregiving may seem hard. But not learning the skills you need to simplify your dementia caregiving journey will be even harder. It is time to choose your “hard”. The choice is 100% yours. I know what I chose: I chose to increase my ease in my dementia caregiving journey. Hey, Dementia Success Seeker! I’m Lizette Cloete. 30 + year veteran occupational therapist turned into a dementia educator, coach and consultant and I am a daughter of dementia. In this podcast you will learn the truth that the only way to increase the ease of your dementia caregiving journey rests squarely in YOUR hands. The way you actively prepare and what you believe about dementia caregiving makes all the difference. ＞＞＞You will gain the practical skills you need to simplify caregiving. ＞＞＞You will be challenged by what it means to be a successful caregiver, teaching you to harness the power of the most powerful caregiving tool that you have: your mindset. ＞＞＞And you will learn exactly what Alzheimer’s and dementia is (and is not), how this changes the brain and what you can expect next in your dementia caregiving journey. You will find a community of like minded family caregivers, helping someone with dementia and you will not be alone anymore. My mission is to help the unsung heroes who are in the midst of dementia caregiving, with the skills to simplify your dementia care journey so that you don’t feel overwhelmed and burn out. I help you find clarity and certainty using the latest evidence based research, so you have perseverance for this marathon. I approach dementia caregiving using faith informed principles that allow you to navigate this journey with peace of mind. So, buckle up your coffee, grab a notebook and pen and be ready to be a Courageous Caregiver. It’s time to choose your easy.
