Hey hey, beautiful caregiver souls!
Did you know research shows that the effects of dementia can begin in the brain 20+ years before symptoms appear? Today’s guest is about to light up your mind, your heart, and your soul!
Meet Rachel Daugherty from Booty & Brains—a vibrant, radiant voice in the wellness world who turned her mother’s Alzheimer's diagnosis into a mission for brain-first, soul-aligned living. In this powerful kickoff to our 3-part series, Rachel shares how caregiving cracked her open, changed her life, and taught her the deep connection between metabolic health and the mind.
🧠✨WE TALK:✨🧠
- Preventative self-care is a love letter to your future self. What you do now matters!
- Alzheimer’s isn’t all genetics—it’s metabolic too. Lifestyle, stress, and daily choices play a huge role. The cascade can start decades before symptoms.
- Reparenting while caregiving is real—and it's powerful. Kama shares how caring for her mom gave her the chance to reparent the self.
- Laughter, levity, and weirdness are medicine. Rachel brings science with sparkle and proves self-love can be fun, weird, and wildly effective.
- Young caregivers and feeling “too young” for the weight of it all.
- Why squats, self-love lemonade, and Michelle Obama arms matter.
- How our future self is always watching, cheering, and waiting!
This is a story of resilience, realness, and radiant transformation. Thank you for dancing with us today!
