Last episode we took a deep dive with Megan and her caregiving origin story. Now, we are privileged to hear more about Erna's journey with family caregiving. Erna is a marketing executive for a non-profit company focused on health equity. She is also founder of her own company U*Realized that focuses on accessible solutions for family caregivers. If that was not enough, she has had over twenty years of experience in the business sector. She brings important insights about the intersection of work and family caregiving.

Welcome to our podcast! We are Erna Alfred Liousas and Megan Hebdon (The Caregiver Revolution), and we are excited to launch this podcast where we will explore all things family caregiving. We believe in addressing the holistic needs of family caregivers, and that is why we have named our podcast, "The Whole Caregiver." Much of what we will talk about will focus on family caregiving issues in early and middle adulthood, but this podcast has relevance for everyone. We believe this quote from Rosalynn Carter:
"There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers."
We have a Medium site that you can check out as well: https://medium.com/@TheCaregiverRevolution

The Whole Caregiver
This is the podcast that focuses on all of you. Erna and Megan will take you through the ups and downs of family caregiving during early and middle adulthood. While we focus on family caregiving, we think there is something for everyone here. As Rosalynn Carter said, "There are only four kinds of people in the world- those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers." We are excited to build our community of current, future, and past family caregivers and those who benefit from the work family caregivers do.
