What it is about

The Hart of It All is a caregiving podcast about the real, human experience of caring for aging parents, spouses, and loved ones.Hosted by broadcaster Teri Hart, the show explores the emotional, financial, and practical challenges caregivers face, from navigating dementia and Alzheimer’s to making long term care decisions, managing caregiver burnout, and handling complex family dynamics. It also makes space for the unexpected moments of connection, resilience, and even beauty that can emerge through caregiving.Through honest conversations with medical experts, policymakers, advocates, and well known Canadians including The Honourable Marci Ien and Cheryl Hickey, Teri brings both practical tools and emotional reassurance to those supporting someone they love.Whether you are a part of the sandwich generation balancing work and caregiving, adjusting to a new diagnosis, or walking alongside someone in their later years, The Hart of It All is for you.Caregiving asks a lot of us. It can stretch us, change us, and deepen us.And when we talk about it honestly, we remember that we're not alone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
