Welcome to the willGather: Navigating the world with your aging loved one podcast! Thank you for joining us. 

Mar 8, 2023

Finding freedom, redemption, and revealing all of those things that we typically don’t share with others in our caregiving- that is the mission and the movement behind Brutally Beautiful.

 

Brutally Beautiful was co-founded by Heather Zoccali.  She is also the founder of No Barriers Caregiver Program. She is a survivor, storyteller, author, retreat innovator, and podcast co-host.

 

As my guest today, Heather gives us permission to have a holistic approach to our healing, understand forgiveness, and the ability to fuse humor into our caregiving. She empowers us to choose vulnerability, share deeply personal stories, and rediscover who we are outside of our caregiver role. Brutally Beautiful moves their mission forward by hosting innovative nature-based retreats, interactive workshops and supporting caregiver communities.

 

As we reset the narrative that can be imposed on us in our caregiving, we can re-discover our own voice. Heather's #somuchmore campaign does just that. I'm honored to share Heather's story and work. Thank you, Heather, for creating a space where we can be empowered to share our own story.

 

 

Heather shares about:

  • Her story as she found her voice in caregiving
  • The superpowers of vulnerability, voice, choice, forgiveness, and play
  • Resetting the narrative that we are #somuchmore and discovering ourselves outside of our caregiver role
  • How we can have self-compassion
  • Practicing boundaries in our caregiving
  • Her encouragement that we can heal, address trauma, find joy, and play
  • The many ways in which Brutally Beautiful supports caregivers so they can heal
  • Join their #somuchmore campaign to raise your voice in caregiving
