#7 Who Cares For The Carer? - with Author Sara Challice

On A Good Day

Author and speaker Sara Challice cared for her husband, Neal, for 13 years after he was diagnosed with a brain tumour. She knows first hand how many carers can fall ill looking after a loved one as she reached crisis point herself.

In this episode, she talks honestly about her experience and how putting herself last led to her becoming mentally and physically ill.

She shares how she came back from her lowest point to continue caring for Neal and has put all that she learned along into her award-winning book, Who Cares?

Sara shares with Julia and Elizabeth invaluable information, insights and tips on what carers can do to look after themselves, become more resilient and how you can still enjoy life while looking after someone else.

Elizabeth and Julia also discuss with Sara about identifying as a carer, why some of her and Neal’s friendships didn’t last and why having the right support network is so important in helping you to have more of the good days.
