This week, I’ll joined by caregiver advocate, author, entrepreneur, and Christian R&B artist Jocelyn Marie Small, founder of A Caregiver’s Cry LLC. Jocelyn’s caregiving journey began at just 23 years old when she became a mother and quickly found herself facing medical challenges no parent is ever truly prepared for. Both of her daughters underwent major surgeries before the age of one. These experiences reshaped her life, deepened her faith, and inspired her mission to remind caregivers that they deserve support too. Join us for this powerful LIVE conversation, as we discuss emotional exhaustion, silent suffering, caregiver visibility, grace over grind, faith, healing, and the realities of raising children with special needs. #MyFavoriteGirlCaregiversCorner #CaregiverSupport #SpecialNeedsParenting #GraceOverGrind #CaregiverAwareness

Some weights are carried so quietly that the world never truly sees them. Join us for this powerful LIVE conversation, as we discuss the invisible balancing act of being a wife, mother, daughter, and caregiver all at once. It will be honest. It will be emotional. It will be healing. And for many caregivers, it will feel like finally being seen. If you’ve ever felt invisible in your caregiving journey, this conversation is for you. Tune in and join in on the discussion. #CaregiverSupport #TheWeightSheCarries #CaregiverBurnout #CaregiverLife #DementiaCaregiver #MyFavoriteGirl #TheInvisibleJourney #WomenWhoCare #FamilyCaregiver #CaregiverAwareness #PodcastLive #CaregiverCommunity

What happens when an actor, comedian, wife, and caregiver opens her home and her heart, to care for not one, but TWO mothers under one roof? In this heartfelt and powerful episode of the My Favorite Girl Caregiver’s Corner Podcast, we’re talking about marriage, multigenerational caregiving, sacrifice, partnership, and the healing power of laughter. My special guest will share her journey of caring for both her mother and mother-in-love alongside her husband, while using her comedic gift to bring joy, strength, and light into some of caregiving’s hardest moments. This conversation will be honest, encouraging, emotional, and yes, filled with laughter too. Because sometimes laughter truly is medicine for the caregiver’s soul. 💜 If you’re a caregiver, spouse, or someone navigating the beautiful complexities of family and responsibility, this episode is for you. Tune in. Be encouraged. Laugh a little. Cry a little. And leave reminded that you are not alone. #CaregiverSupport #CaregiverLife #CaregivingJourney #Podcast #FamilyCaregiving #MarriageAndCaregiving #AlzheimersCaregiver #DementiaCaregiver #FaithAndCaregiving #CaregiverEncouragement #MyFavoriteGirlCaregiversCornerPodcast #HealingThroughLaughter

When caregiving ends, the world doesn’t just get quieter, it changes completely. In this powerful Season 6 premiere of the My Favorite Girl Caregiver’s Corner Podcast, we explore a side of grief that is rarely acknowledged: not just losing a loved one but losing the role of being their caregiver. After years of structure, responsibility, and deep connection, what happens when the routine stops and the silence begins? Through an honest and heartfelt conversation with a former caregiver who walked this journey with his mother until her passing, we unpack the emotional weight of “untethered” living, the loss of identity, and the quiet spaces that follow. When the caregiving ends, the silence begins but so does healing. There is memory. There is meaning. And most of all, there is love that remains. This episode is for every caregiver navigating what comes after.

Joining me is Dr. Dave Handy, from the Alzheimer's Project, right here in Tallahassee—a powerful resource providing "no-cost" support for individuals with memory disorders and their caregivers and families. From support groups and counseling to Day Respite Social Clubs that give caregivers time to breath, in-home respite to educational programs that equips you for the journey. This is real help. Real community. Real relief. 🗓️ Wednesday, April 22, 2026 | ⏰ 7:30 pm EST You don’t have to do this alone. 💜 #CaregiverSupport #AlzheimersProject #Tallahassee #RespiteCare #YouAreNotAlone #Community #CommunityResources

Hey Caregiver: The Album, Vol. 1 is more than music, it’s a lifeline for the caregiver’s heart. Written from real-life experience, this collection captures the silent sacrifices, the hidden tears, and the unwavering love that define the caregiving journey. Each song speaks to the moments no one applauds—the exhaustion, the stretching, the surrender—while pointing back to a faithful God who sees it all. This album is a reminder that your labor is not in vain, your strength is being renewed, and your presence matters more than you know. For every caregiver who stays when it was hard… For every heart that keeps loving through the weight… This is for you. Keep Going. Keep Pushing. Keep Loving. Keep CARING!

Season 5 officially kicked off November 1st, and in the first episode, my guests and I tackled a deeply personal topic: "When Caregiving and Grief Collide." Experiencing the devastating loss of my best friend/sister unexpectedly a year and 5 months ago, shook me to my core. While I appeared to be functioning on the outside, internally, I was grappling with an intense pain that I had never known before. Despite my faith in God, I found myself feeling shattered and unable to stop—particularly because I still had to care for my mom. Juggling the role of caregiver while dealing with my own grief—mourning my sister’s physical absence and simultaneously witnessing my mom’s inability to recognize me—is an incredibly complex and emotional journey. Some days are lighter, others feel heavier. There are moments when I laugh through the tears, and others when the sadness takes over. But day by day, it’s getting better. This experience has taught me that it’s okay to be human. We are allowed to feel happy, hurting and healing all at once. In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend, Vicky Noland Fitch. Vicky’s husband, Phil, passed away just six months ago. Not long after his death, Vicky shared a quote on Facebook that inspired this conversation. It read, “You’re allowed to be happy, hurting and healing all at once. You’re a human, not a rock.” And that’s the truth—whether you are grieving the loss of someone through death, ambiguous loss, or a long goodbye with a loved one you’re caring for, you don’t need anyone’s permission to grieve in your own way. You are allowed to be “Happy, Hurting, and Healing.” As you listen, my hope is that you find inspiration, strength, and grace to carry on the path God has set for you in this journey.

What happens 'When Caregiving and Grief Collide? In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my raw experience with grief following the devastating loss of my best friend and sister on August 1, 2023. Each day, I navigate the pain of her absence while also caring for my mom, who is living with dementia—a daily reminder of loss, even as she is physically present but no longer recognizes me. Someone once said, "One of the hardest things you will ever do is grieve the loss of a person who is still alive," and I wholeheartedly agree. It’s a complex journey of love and heartache. I’m joined by CherylAnn Haley, a dear friend and fellow care partner. Like me, she lost her best friend in September 2023 and is also caring for her mother, who, too, lives with dementia. Together, we explore the intersection of caregiving and grief, discussing what happens when these two worlds collide. To enrich our conversation, we welcomed Felicia Allen, a Certified Grief Counselor, who helps guide us through the emotional landscape we’re navigating. Our shared experiences created a powerful dialogue that I hope will resonate with many of you facing similar challenges. As you listen, my prayer is that you find inspiration, strength, and grace to hold and keep walking the path God has set for you on this journey. While you're here...Subscribe To the Channel!
