Care is everywhere, in the quiet acts that hold families together, in the advocacy that challenges broken systems, and in the resilience of those who show up, again and again, for others.
In this week’s Perspectives Podcast, we explore the many layers of caregiving, personal, professional, and systemic. Our guests, Rachell Dumas, and Kristi Horner, bring deeply human stories of loss, advocacy, and renewal.
Rachell opens up about her journey through multiple pregnancy losses and the creation of a nonprofit supporting mothers. Her courage shows how storytelling can become a form of healing. She shares her dual experience as a nurse and patient, offering insight into healthcare trauma and the importance of self-advocacy and doula support.
Kristi, through Courage to Caregivers, reminds us that caregiving begins with self-care, that to sustain others, we must also sustain ourselves.
The conversation touches on maternal health, mental wellness, and the power of community in transforming care systems. Above all, it reminds us that care is not just what we do — it’s who we are.
