Patty Webster is no stranger to caregiving—she helped care for her mom at the end of her life and now supports her sister, who’s the primary caregiver for their dad.

In this episode of the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast, Patty shares how her personal experience fuels her passion for The Conversation Project, a movement helping families talk openly about end-of-life wishes. We chat about why these conversations matter, how to start them, and how they can bring families closer. It's real, relatable, and something every caregiver should hear. We also talk about how to not be a ‘swooper’ as a remote support caregiver, why it’s important to infuse fun in caregiving visits, and why grace is essential for all members of the care team.

Meet Scott Lien, a working family caregiver and member of the sandwich generation, who navigated the loss of four parents and in-laws over twelve years. His caregiving journey, combined with his extensive tech background, inspired him to co-found GrandPad, a user-friendly platform designed to keep seniors connected and engaged.

In this episode of the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast, Scott and I dive into practical ways families and society can combat senior isolation and loneliness. We also explore the unexpected benefits—such as reducing elder fraud and financial scams—and how fostering meaningful connections can help us all live without regrets.

Plus, Scott shares wisdom from the “super seniors” he works with and reveals his secrets to ensuring joy in every day.

And…stay tuned for how you can take advantage of an exclusive GrandPad offer for the HHC Community!

Imagine stepping into a marriage knowing you're immediately going to become a full-time caregiver. That was Hope Cross's reality when her husband, Steve, was diagnosed with ALS while they were dating. For nine years, she cared for him up until his passing, and it was a journey filled with love, challenges, and deep emotions. Hope has openly shared the raw and unfiltered sides of caregiving, offering a rare glimpse into the realities many face, but sometimes don't discuss.

In this episode, Hope shares how she navigated life after loss, rediscovering herself and ultimately launching a therapy practice focusing on family caregiving, trauma, PTSD, grief and anxiety. We also explore the powerful role of art, nature, friendships, writing, and even our own noses in the healing process.
