In Part 2 of The Caregiver You Never Planned to Be, I share what caregiving really looked like behind the scenes.

The long nights.
The moments I didn’t know what I was doing.
The fear I didn’t always say out loud.

This episode is honest, unfiltered, and deeply personal. It’s about learning as you go, loving through the hardest moments, and showing up even when you’re unsure and afraid.

If you’ve ever cared for someone or you’re walking through a difficult season right now…

I want you to know, you are not alone.

This episode is for everyone who has ever found themselves in a role they never asked for, the role of caregiver.

Angie opens up about the season that followed Ray’s diagnosis and takes listeners behind the closed doors of a caregiving journey that most people never see. From trying to hold her 36-year career together while caring for Ray at home, to eventually making the hardest choice of her professional life, this episode is an honest, girlfriend-to-girlfriend conversation about what love really looks like when life gets hard.

Angie also takes time to educate listeners on Glioblastoma — one of the most aggressive and least understood forms of brain cancer — because she wishes someone had told her what she was really facing before she walked into it alone. And she shares one of the most heartbreaking moments of her entire caregiving journey: the day Ray no longer recognized her as his wife.

This is Part 1 of a two-part episode. Part 2 continues the story.
