"I used to think that self-care was an indulgence."⁠
⁠
A care partner said that to Sheila Moore, MSG, LCSW, clinical social worker at Pacific Neuroscience Institute, before she learned that caring for herself made her a better partner. In the new Think Neuro episode, Sheila and host Dan Fost walk through her Top 10 Tips for the Empowered Care Partner, from putting yourself on the to-do list to trusting your instincts about when it is time to ask for help.⁠

Yesterday the “Parkinson’s Parent Trap” team joined the walk together. I had actually signed up for this walk while my dad was alive and we were going to go together. But then in typical fashion, something came up or we weren’t having a good day or something. 🫠 our group was made up of adult children caregivers for their parents.

Walking for my dad, walking with my sister and my son. 🌻 We brought our best energy to the APDA Optimism Walk. Patrick kept the pace, and I know my dad was with us every step of the way. Here’s to holding onto hope, finding a cure, and celebrating the good life we have. Thanks @sixbug for creating the team✨ #APDAOptimismWalk #ParkinsonsAwareness #ForDad
