    • #213 Facing Feeling: Part 4: Adults and Children Who Are Not the Caregivers

      #213 Facing Feeling: Part 4: Adults and Children Who Are Not the Caregivers
      Feb 19 2026
      Not everyone in an aging family is the caregiver — but everyone is still affected. In Part 4 of our Facing Feelings series, Gina and Don explore the emotional world of the spouses, adult children, grandchildren, and siblings who aren't providing the hands-on care… yet still feel the weight of the journey every single day. Because the truth is — you don't have to be managing medications, appointments, or housing decisions to be overwhelmed. You can be across town… across the country… or just emotionally unsure of your place — and still carry a deep emotional load. In this episode we unpack the hidden struggles many families never talk about: • Role Reversal Grief – Watching a parent slowly become the one who needs guidance • Conflicting Emotions – Love, frustration, guilt, relief… all at the same time • Decision-Making Stress – Having opinions but not the authority (or responsibility) • Sibling Conflict – Different perspectives, different involvement, same family • Fear of Repeating the Pattern – "Will this happen to me too?" • Balancing Life Pressures – Raising kids, working careers, living life while the emotional background noise never turns off This conversation helps normalize the experience of being emotionally involved but not in charge — a position many people quietly struggle with and rarely feel allowed to talk about. If you've ever thought "I'm not the caregiver… so why does this feel so heavy?" this episode is for you. #FocusedHealthyFamily #FacingFeelings #AgingParents #FamilyCaregiving #SiblingDynamics #SandwichGeneration #CaregiverSupport #CaregiverStress #FamilyEmotions #DementiaSupport #ElderCare #AgingJourney #GriefInStages #FamilyCommunication #HealthyFamilies

    • #212 Weird But It Works — EFT in Business - Melissa Taylor NBG

      #212 Weird But It Works — EFT in Business - Melissa Taylor NBG
      Feb 12 2026

      Gina and Don are doing something a little different in this episode — they pull back the curtain and share a conversation from another podcast where Don becomes the guest.

      Inside this episode, they introduce and react to Don's appearance on the Network Build Grow podcast with Melissa Taylor, founder of the Network Build Grow networking organization. Together they explore how Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT tapping) unexpectedly connects to business growth, relationships, confidence, and communication.

      You'll hear the full conversation embedded in the show — including how Don stumbled into EFT, why a "strange tapping thing" actually works, and how emotional regulation directly affects networking success, leadership, and entrepreneurship.

      This episode blends personal story, business insight, and practical mindset tools — showing that business problems are often emotional problems wearing professional clothes.

      Whether you run a company, attend networking groups, or just feel nervous introducing yourself in a room full of strangers… this conversation might explain why.

      Because sometimes the best business strategy… is calming your nervous system first.

    • #211 Overwhelmed and Unsupported… or Is It Grief?

      #211 Overwhelmed and Unsupported… or Is It Grief?
      Feb 5 2026

      In this deeply meaningful episode of the Focused Healthy Family podcast, Gina and Don sit down with their mentor, Jan Luther of JanLuther.com, to explore a truth many families never hear out loud:

      What we often label as overwhelm, burnout, or lack of support when caring for a loved one with dementia is, at its core, grief.

      As an aging loved one slowly declines due to dementia, families begin grieving long before death occurs—grieving the loss of personality, connection, shared memories, and future dreams. This episode unpacks anticipatory grief, why it's so often misunderstood, and how failing to name it can leave caregivers feeling isolated, exhausted, and emotionally stuck.

      Jan, a trusted guide in grief and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), helps reframe the caregiving experience with compassion and clarity. Together, the three discuss how acknowledging grief—rather than just "managing stress"—can be a turning point in healing.

      You'll also be guided through a gentle EFT tapping segment, offering listeners a practical way to release emotional weight, calm the nervous system, and feel supported in the midst of loss.

      This conversation is for anyone caring for a loved one with dementia, navigating end-of-life changes, or wondering why "more support" doesn't seem to touch the deeper pain. If you've ever felt overwhelmed and unseen, this episode may help you finally name what your heart already knows.
