À propos de ce contenu audio

 Shifting the Spectrum w/ Frances is a calm, honest space for special needs caregivers who are tired — and need support that feels safe, practical, and doable. I’m Frances — caregiver to my adult son who is on the autism spectrum, non-verbal, and needs full-time care. I’m also a minister and creative arts leader. This podcast was created during seasons when life felt heavy, money felt tight, and the thought of “doing more” felt impossible. Here, we focus on: • Caring for yourself while caring for someone else • Reducing stress and overwhelm in everyday life • Gentle conversations about stability and options • Simple, ADHD-friendly rhythms that support your energy • Faith-based encouragement that meets you where you are • Small steps toward peace, margin, and sustainability This is not a podcast about hustling or pushing yourself beyond capacity. It’s about creating room to breathe, room to think, and room to hope again. Some episodes will gently explore ways caregivers can build stability and support their families without rigid schedules or pressure — always at a pace that respects your season. If you’re a caregiver who wants encouragement, clarity, and practical help — without being overwhelmed — you’re welcome here. Let’s shift the spectrum — together.Copyright 2026 Frances Carroll Christianisme Direction Economie Management et direction Ministère et évangélisme Parentalité Relations Spiritualité

      Beloved Caregivers Don’t Break — They Bend
      Jan 2 2026

      Beloved Caregivers Don’t Break, We Bend: Finding Strength in Flexibility

      In this episode of 'Shifting the Spectrum with Frances', we explore the resilience of caregivers, comparing their flexibility to that of palm trees which bend, but do not break, in storms. Through prayer and reflection, Frances discusses the importance of faith, adaptability, and rest in caregiving. She emphasizes that needing renewal does not equate to weakness and encourages caregivers to find strength by leaning on God.

      The episode concludes with a ‘SHIFT’ approach to caregiving, highlighting surrender, honoring limits, inviting God into adjustments, finding guilt-free rest, and trusting in renewal.
