Tackling the Challenges of Caregiving
Hosted by Sharon Henifin, CN-BA and Becky Olson, CN-BA
Tambre Leighn, MA, PCC, ELI-MP
An estimated 44 million Americans age 18 and older act as caregivers for patients living with chronic disease—creating significant personal challenges that can feel impossible to navigate without appropriate support. Tambre Leighn, a certified professional coach and caregiver advocate, provides you with the tools, insights, and strategies to address the stress and overwhelm of cancer and discusses the benefits of creating a care plan for the caregiver. Her 7 Levels of Conscious Caregiving provide a unique way to redefine the experience of caregiving and transform those times when it feels like a burden into empowering moments of conscious choice.
