I had a chance to talk with Shane Clements, she shared her story about her mother and how everything started with her being diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. She was only 23 when that happened and the doctors told her that her mother could live with the lung cancer if they were able to keep it small. She went through a lot of chemotherapy but around January the tumor started growing after 8 months her cancer has spread from her lungs to her brain.  These are one of the tough ordeals that we all have to face, to be prepared for something we wish we all could escape. No child or parent would ever want to go through something this painful but a conversation should be initiated about what if you live, what and where, and what should someone do if you can't take care of yourself. The tough call of laying everything out may be hard but it is better for us to plan these things ahead so that we will not pass this painful burden to all our loved ones because it will also be a heavy load for them to carry.

This episode of Caregivers Stories, Dr. Elizabeth Shulman, the author of “Sanctuary in the Midst of Alzheimer's: A Ministry for Husbands and Wives Caring for a Spouse with Dementia”. They talked about their loved ones who were diagnosed with dementia and how it changed their perspective about caregiving.  Self-love and self-care are one of the main things that caregivers give the least priority. The wives, husbands, and children who become the primary caregiver become trapped into guilt, thinking that they do not deserve to get their “me time." When Elizabeth’s husband was diagnosed with late on-set paranoid schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, the increasing responsibility of caring for an ill husband changed the roles in their marriage. And just like most of the caregivers, she temporarily lost her own sense of self to caregiving. It was not until she began her chaplain residency in a Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) program that she placed value to her own identity as a spousal caregiver.

On this episode of Caregivers Stories, Kimberly interviews Denise Zinser. She shares many lessons of her time as a caregiver for her grandmother which we should all take by heart. Each day is a gift, she said, that is why It’s essential for us to have this tough conversation with our family. A plan has to be made no matter how uncomfortable it might be.

This episode of Caregivers Stories, Kimberly interviews Sue Paul, an occupational therapist certified health coach and an advocate for the Alzheimer's Association who has a burning passion for the aging community. She is the Executive Director of SeniorScapes Inc., a nonprofit, dedicated to the creation of indoor/outdoor spaces designed for older adults. Their vision is to create landscapes where seniors can thrive, and their goal is to provide a stimulating, engaging environment where aging adults have the opportunity to play, socialize, and exercise in their own communities.  Sue shares that even in the therapy world, physical occupational and speech therapists could not see somebody with the diagnosis of dementia because it meant that they couldn't get better. Medicare wouldn't approve any claim if someone had a diagnosis of dementia because they thought that this is an irreversible problem. Sue felt terrible for not being able to help the people that needed it most.  She knew that she can teach

From working in a huge company to a small start-up, Mike gave us an insight into how he came into the apartment industry. It all started when was looking for technology companies in Bend, Oregon. There, he realized that there wasn’t a lot. This was the start of their self-storage business, one of the first verticals of G5. His favorite part of his current role is being at the forefront of the companies transformation and being able to help pioneer education and bring innovation, making it more accessible to the industry. He also highlighted the biggest differences that he felt at Nike; the company’s main focus is on the consumer, whereas coming to G5 he and the rest of the team are all about the customers and making as much time as possible with their customers no matter what size they are. G5’s culture, technology, products, marketing, and message are wrapped around what makes the customer tick.  Aside from having a successful career, Mike also shared his passion for triathlon. He admitted that the pe

Six years ago Dottie’s husband, Tom Gandy, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and, by default, Dottie became his full-time caregiver.  At first, she thought…” well, how hard can this be?”  She was not prepared for the answer which came quickly:  very challenging.  Dottie shared several sweet stories, like when she knew something was wrong with Tom, how she answered Tom when Tom would repeatedly ask, “What’s for dinner?”  and how she learned to embrace playing 2-3 hours of gin rummy daily instead of dreading. I learned, and continue to learn, a ton from Mrs. Dottie Gandy, and I hope our interview brought you value.

 On this week’s episode of Industry Celebrities, Kimberly D. Scott interviews Marla Posey, Founder/CEO of Spark Multifamily Learning Consulting, which is in the multifamily industry. Just like many people, she “fell” into the industry. Also like many, she left the initial industry she was in (which was in the retail space) in search of something more fulfilling. Low and behold, she found an ad for a leasing agent in the newspaper. Having absolutely no experience, she took a leap of faith and landed in the multifamily industry, where she fell in love and remains in love! After all, she started her own company.  Learn more about Mara and Spark Multifamily at SPARKmultifamily.com Connect & Follow Marka:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marlaposey/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/SparkMultiFam Listen to other episodes or signup to be a guest on a Podcast: https://thatkimberly.com/convos-with-kimberly/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thatkimberly/support

On this episode of Industry Celebrities, Kimberly D. Scott interviews Clark Finnical, author of Job Hunting Secrets, (from someone who's been there.) Clark is passionately in the “job seekers” industry. Having experienced four job eliminations, he knows exactly what it’s like to be in the job seeker’s shoes. While recruiters have great information, they don’t really delve into the secrets of hiring managers, allowing job seekers to better understand what’s going on in the hiring manager’s “mind” to better prepare...and Clark provides first-hand knowledge on what he learned and how it can help you (if you’re looking for a job, of course).   Connect with Clark on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/clarkfinnical/   Listen to other episodes or sign up to be a guest on a Podcast: https://thatkimberly.com/convos-with-kimberly/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thatkimberly/support
