"I wanted to make the most of it." - Dona Kim Murphey
Caregiving is never just about one person, it’s about family, culture, and community. Natalie and J.J. sit down with Dr. Dona Kim Murphey, neurologist and caregiver, to explore the deeply personal and often unspoken challenges of caregiving.

Dr. Murphey shares her journey shaped by her family’s experiences with illness, offering practical strategies for caregivers, the power of micro moments of self-care, and the evolving role of technology in making caregiving more manageable.
