In this episode, and in honor of Caregiver Awareness Month, Bonnie Schneider, co-founder of the IgA Nephropathy Foundation talks openly about her journey as a caregiver to her son, Eddie, and growing the Foundation. She offers practical advice and tips for how to navigate this journey as a caregiver or care partner to someone with IgAN, including letting go of guild and taking time to recharge, reflect and for self-care.
One out of 5 American adults is a caregiver to someone with a chronic illness. It can take a major toll if you don’t pay attention, which is why it’s so important to connect with others and know that you are not alone. Remember, you need to take care of yourself to be able to take care of others, and it’s not selfish to do so.
Take a listen to our conversation.
