Body of episode:

It may be a little ironic, or maybe not, but I have not created a fresh June episode because I am caring for my dad. Many of you have heard bits and pieces in previous episodes, that I am his primary caregiver. And it is an honor. The last few months, as in since about the end of February, he has battled on through multiple medical issues. And I have battled to advocate for him.\xa0 Unfortunately, advocating feels like an uphill battle.\xa0 It sometimes feels like the medical community wants to dictate how I should not care for my father because they know best, even if they just see him as another elderly person.\xa0

There were several times when I thought \u2018This is it, he\u2019s not going to make it.\u2019 But he continues to be with us. I cherish and thank God for every single day, every minute, I get with him.\xa0

Being a caregiver who works,\xa0 means that I am on the run from the moment my eyes open in the morning, until bedtime. I do my very best to get at least seven hours, otherwise, there would just be no way to maintain my schedule. No. Way.\xa0 Bottom line, sleep keeps me from falling apart.\xa0

I want to thank you for your patience as I navigate my life as it currently is, and my podcasting schedule. Not to pat myself on the back, but because I do take this podcast so seriously, the research, the guests, the everything; being able to go back and ask you to listen to a previous episode, which is what I am asking you to do this month; does not feel like a cop-out.\xa0

I have had the great privilege of having fabulous guests throughout the life of this podcast. The episode 143 guest, Dr. Robin Hadley, is no different. Episode 143 first aired in August of 2022. Please take a listen.\xa0

Thank you!\xa0\xa0
