In this episode of the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast, we are shining the caregiver spotlight on Rachel Davis. Rachel is a volunteer retreat leader with No Barriers USA and a full-time caregiver for her husband Jay. Jay suffered a spinal cord injury during a plane crash. This event completely uprooted their lives. Learn how Rachel is coping and moving forward. Rachel shares what a typical day looks like, where she found her supportive tribes of people, how she receives some pay for her caregiving responsibilities, and how chickens play a role in her self-care.
