    When You Can't Save Your Loved One

    01/06/2026 | 27 mins.
    If you could save your loved one from their serious illness, you would do that. Of course you would.
    You love them and you want the best for them, whether they're battling cancer, Alzheimer's disease, ALS, age-related decline, or another advanced illness. You want to be the best caregiver you can be, and I'll bet you're exhausted.
    Yet you may be spending your precious energy trying to fix the unfixable, rather than focusing on being wholeheartedly present with your loved one.
    This episode of The Integrative Palliative Podcast tackles how to show up as the best caregiver you can be and how to figure out what is yours to take on and what is not.
    I'm glad you're here.

    Nobody Prepares You for This

    30/03/2026 | 25 mins.
    When a loved one has a serious illness like cancer or dementia, or they have age-related decline, it can seem like your life has turned upside-down. Nobody prepares you for this.
    Sometimes the skills that are helpful in regular life actually make caregiving harder. But you can repurpose those skills to make caregiving easier.
    This episode of The Integrative Palliative Podcast will show you why hyper-competent people can struggle when a loved one is ill - and what to do about it.

    How to Talk to Your Doctor So They Don't Blow You Off

    12/02/2026 | 26 mins.
    It is hard to be a doctor and it is hard to be a patient (or a family member of a patient). Everyone in the healthcare system is frustrated.
    Both patients and doctors are doing their best, but sometimes it doesn't feel that way. Doctors are busy and burned out which can make patients and families feel blown off or disrespected.
    The week on The Integrative Palliative Podcast you'll get an insider's view of how to get the best from your doctor.
