The podcast features Alycia Martel, a caregiver coach, end of life specialist, death doula, and podcast contributor, who is actively caring for her father with dementia. In a car accident over three years ago, she was diagnosed with a TBI, traumatic brain injury, and post-concussive syndrome, affecting her motor skills, speech, cognitive function, memory, and vision. Despite this, she continues to provide care for her father with the help of her boyfriend. She talks about the importance of taking a step back and practicing self-care for caregivers.
