Welcome to Season 8, Episode 24 of Healing Ties 2.0, 30 podcasts in 30 days celebrating National Family Caregivers month featured on the Whole Care Network.
In this episode it is my pleasure to welcome Lindsay Carretero from Point Blanc Voice.
Not only is Lindsay an excellent voice coach, Lindsay was an excellent caregiver for her Grandam, Grandam Angel. Grandma Angel, was always by her side. She helped Lindsay by giving her rides, making sure she was fed, helping her memorize lines for acting scenes, making beautiful costumes for her performances and above all else gave her the love and support that only a grandmother can. Then in 2017 Grandma Angel health began to change and she needed more help than every before. Lindsay was there to insured that Grandma's Angel final wish was granted.
This is a story about love, care and commitment.
Listen in and learn how Lindsay is creating Healing Ties all around us!
Healing Ties
Beyond Caregiving...How do care?
How do we care for our family, friends, and the strangers we meet? How do we care for the community we live in?
How do we heal the physical, social, financial, spiritual aspects of our life and the lives of those around us?
We do this by creating Healing Ties!
By sharing their stories with host Christopher MacLellan, our guests reveal how they are creating Healing Ties in their community by their words, actions, and deeds.
