Erin and Robin explore the challenges of midlife caregiving, particularly for emptiness moms. They share personal experiences with caregiving, emphasizing the importance of self-care, somatic work, and community support. Erin introduces Next Gen Caregiver and The Abundant Caregiver community, highlighting resources and community engagement for caregivers.
We chat about the emotional and practical challenges of caregiving, alongside the importance of self-care for those on this journey. We share our personal experiences and offer valuable insights for navigating care giving (dementia), navigating a caregiving team, and prioritizing your own well-being.
4 Takeaways:
· Prioritize self-care alongside caregiving responsibilities to maintain physical and emotional well-being.
· Consider hospice care for dementia patients to ensure compassionate end-of-life support.
· Advocate for comprehensive health assessments for aging parents to proactively manage their health.
· Explore simple self-care practices like breathwork and movement to discover what supports individual well-being.
*Embrace the "1% shift methodology" to make small, sustainable changes that improve your well-being and ability to care for others.
Don't be afraid to seek help
Prioritize your own well-being and seek help early to avoid burnout. Utilize resources and don't hesitate to ask for support when needed.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
