Have you ever considered that there might be two ways to approach caregiving—either by default or by design?
In this thought-provoking episode, we discuss the importance of intentionality in dementia caregiving. Are you reacting to daily challenges as they come, or are you actively shaping your caregiving journey with purpose and planning?
Understanding this distinction can transform your experience, providing a clearer path and a brighter outlook.
Are you caregiving by default, simply responding to each challenge as it appears?
Or are you caregiving by design, creating a plan that supports you and your loved one?
Shifting to a “design” mindset can reduce anxiety, offer a sense of control, and help you feel prepared for what’s to come.
Isn’t it time to start caregiving with a plan in mind?
Begin by considering what kind of caregiver you want to be, and take steps to transform your approach with intention and purpose.

Have you ever considered that the way you think could transform your caregiving journey?
In this episode, we explore the power of your mind—specifically the reticular activating system (RAS)—and how it can help you find peace, purpose, and even self-love in the midst of dementia caregiving.
Our RAS is part of God’s intricate design for our minds, helping us focus on what we value.
When you start caring about your future, your RAS will help you find ways to prioritize self-care, spiritual growth, and a positive outlook. God created our minds to help us find paths through difficulty, and caregiving can be one of those journeys where we learn to lean on His wisdom.
How will you start caring for yourself on this journey?
By reframing your thoughts, setting meaningful goals, and building a positive environment, you can create a caregiving experience rooted in love and resilience.

How can the core principles of the Reformation help you find strength and purpose in dementia caregiving?
In this episode, we reflect on how the Five Solas—the foundational beliefs emphasized during the Reformation—can guide caregivers through every challenge, creating a caregiving journey that honors God and brings peace.
These Reformation principles offer caregivers a meaningful foundation for their daily journey. By applying Sola Scriptura, caregivers can draw comfort and guidance from God’s Word.
Sola Fide reminds them that their worth is in faith, not caregiving perfection, and Sola Gratia assures them that God’s grace covers their challenges.
With Christ’s example of humility and Soli Deo Gloria, caregivers can see every act of caregiving as a way to reflect God’s love.
This episode provides the tools to approach caregiving with faith, purpose, and the peace that comes from knowing their work honors God.

Are you a dementia caregiver struggling to balance finances while providing care for your loved one?
We welcome Justin Chastain, a financial planner from Parallel Financial (https://www.parallelfinancial.com), to discuss the essential steps caregivers can take to manage their finances and secure their future.
Many caregivers are thrown into their roles unexpectedly, often without having planned for the financial toll caregiving can take.
Justin shares his personal story of losing his mother, which inspired him to help others avoid the stress and anxiety that come from financial uncertainty.
In this episode, Justin emphasizes that it's never too late to start planning, whether you’re already a caregiver or preparing for the possibility.
With proper financial planning, caregivers can ensure they’re prepared for the costs of long-term care, medical bills, and unexpected expenses that come with dementia caregiving.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the repetitive tasks involved in dementia caregiving? From answering the same questions to managing daily routines, it can feel like you’re stuck in an endless loop of caregiving duties.
One of the most challenging aspects of dementia caregiving is the emotional toll of dealing with repetitive behaviors.
Whether it’s answering the same question over and over or assisting with daily tasks like bathing and dressing, these routines can become exhausting. This constant repetition often leads caregivers to feel frustrated and even burnt out.
Lizette provides practical solutions for managing the repetitive tasks and emotional challenges of dementia caregiving. By simplifying routines, using technology, and responding with grace, you can reduce the mental load and improve your caregiving experience.
Remember, you don’t have to do it all perfectly—you just need to take small steps to make caregiving a little easier each day.

Are you struggling with challenging behaviors in your loved one with dementia? You’re not alone. Many caregivers face the frustration of trying to understand and manage unpredictable behaviors.
In this episode, we tackle these common caregiving challenges with practical advice and biblical encouragement. Let’s break down some key questions about managing these difficult moments.
A common concern for caregivers is understanding what to expect as dementia progresses. The truth is, a person’s behavior during dementia is often a magnification of their pre-existing traits.
If your loved one was anxious before, their anxiety may increase. If they were calm, they may remain relatively peaceful until the later stages.
What many don’t realize is that dementia follows a backward progression, known as retrogenesis, where individuals slowly lose the abilities they gained in early life.
By seeing dementia as a reverse developmental process, caregivers can begin to anticipate changes and prepare for the future.
