KELLY CONWAY ON CARING FOR HER FUNNY DAD TIM CONWAY, HUMOR & HEALTH; FOREST BATHING FOR EARTH DAY

Caregiving Club On Air

April is National Humor Month so the perfect guest for this episode is Kelly Conway, author of a new book about growing up with and caregiving for her famous comedian father, “My Dad is Funnier Than Your Dad – Growing Up with Tim Conway in the Funniest House in America.” Kelly shares emotional moments of her childhood and caring for her dad at the end of his life. You’ll laugh and cry and learn some great advice about blended families who don’t always agree on a loved one’s care. For Caregiver Wellness News, Sherri shares Volkswagen’s Fun Theory video on how to make health fun for National Stress Awareness Month. She also provides some insights on elder abuse and resources that can help if you fear a loved one is being harmed, exploited or neglected. Sherri also talks about how humor can help our health, and ways for caregivers to get a humor break during the day with her funniest YouTube videos with Johnny Carson, Eddie Murphy, Gilda Radner and of course, Tim Conway. In Pop Culture Sherri shares some movies that relate to the themes of elder abuse (dark humor) and sibling conflict when caregiving (lighter humor). For our Well Home Design News, Sherri shares some tips on inserting fun into your home design. We finish the episode as always with our Me Time Monday Wellness Hack on the wellness trend in Forest Bathing for National Stress Awareness Month and Earth Day on April 22 including a 1-minute virtual forest bathing experience.
