This week, I am thrilled to welcome Laura Conley to the podcast. As a certified life and weight loss coach, Laura specializes in guiding moms to lasting weight loss and self-acceptance.

Through this work, Laura's clients are able to create positive legacies for their kids that are rooted in self-love, confidence, and freedom from food, weight, and body image drama. Laura and I discuss how to talk with kids about food and body image, the importance of healing our own relationships with food and self-image, and how our self-talk directly influences our kids' perceptions of themselves.

Caring for Aging Parents: An Interview with Jennifer Richey – 286 Jan 30, 2024

Show notes

Are you part of the "sandwich generation" -- caring for your kids and aging parents at the same time? My guest today knows the challenges and stressors of being a caregiver. Jennifer Richey had the primary responsibility of managing the care of her grandfather and both of her parents at the ends of their lives. In 2018, she became a Certified Caregiving Consultant and a Certified Life Coach, specializing in helping those taking care of aging parents, adult children with disabilities, and other loved ones. Two months ago, I found myself thrust into the unexpected role of caregiver for my father after he fell and broke his shoulder. Almost immediately, I reached out to Jennifer and asked her to be a guest on the podcast because I knew I wasn’t the only mom struggling with the demands of parenting, caregiving, work, and other responsibilities. Even if caring for your parents isn't currently your role, it may likely be a consideration in your future, so tune in and listen to Jennifer's expert advice.
