Happy Healthy Caregiver Podcast, Episode 162: Living Bold While Caregiving with Belva Denmark Tibbs

Belva Denmark Tibbs is a primary caregiver for her husband, Mark, and a support caregiver for her parents. While she may have departed her career as a senior healthcare executive, she is far from what others think of as retired. Belva serves on several community organizations and boards, including the Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging. She is passionate about mindset, aging well, and educating others.

In this episode, Belva and I discuss a gamut of topics, including invisible caregiving labor, conquering fear, the pros and cons of Chat GBT (artificial intelligence), and establishing boundaries. You’ll also gain some great tips, like why you’ll want to add a dry-erase marker to your caregiver tote bag.
