Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the value of unpaid caregiving was estimated at $450 billion per year. Now, it’s even more costly, especially as loved ones continue to work regular jobs and provide care for their adult loved ones. But unpaid caregiving can have severe impacts on health — particularly women’s health — including emotional, physical, financial, and mental. In this episode, corporate benefits design specialist and co-founder of Motivity Care, Mim Senft, explores the complex issues that come with adult caregiving. We discuss the impacts of caregiving on women in a society that expects us to nurture and help for free. Mim also shares different types of caregiver role strain, the latest U.S. caregiver statistics, and the importance of caregiver self care.Discussed in this episode:Caregiving and its impact on productivity in the corporate worldHow caregiving impacts womenHow companies can successfully address the need for caregivingAdvocating for yourself while trying to survive Why it’s so important to prioritize your healthThe value in knowing your limits when caring for others How women can prepare themselves for aging and care dependency Caregiver support and practices that help you take care of yourselfWhat is Motivity Care and who needs it?“As women, we cannot show up and be the leaders that the world needs us to be without protecting ourselves first.

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 187 A Rare Collection - Keep Digging There's power in storytelling- for the listener and the storyteller. A Rare Collection is a monthly series featuring people from the rare disease community, sharing a story with a common theme.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Angela, Mom to Yiannis with IRF2BPL, a neurodegenerative disorder When Yiannis was born on a Saturday evening in July 2020, we knew immediately that something wasn't right. He was whisked away to the NICU and nobody could tell us what was happening. Yiannis was in the NICU for more than two weeks without answers. After 18 months, a neurologist started to piece the puzzle together. Through whole exome sequencing, we found Yiannis had two ultra rare fatal progressive neurodegenerative disorders, IRF2BPL and LSM1. We started a foundation, Yellow for Yiannis, to be a leading resource forIRF2BPL funding and for the support of other families that are enduring this disease. Katie, Mom to Beau with KIF1A, a neurodegenerative disorder  On December 17th, 2021, just shy of a month after his second birthday, our son was diagnosed with KIF1A, a super rare genetic condition that affects about 400 people in the world. We had a healthy, happy pregnancy leading to a pretty uncomplicated birth. Beau  met all of his milestones and he was a healthy baby. When discrepancies in his communication, social skills, gross motor and fine motor skills developed, Beau was diagnosed with KIF1A through genetic testing. I encourage any parents who don't feel okay with a diagnosis to keep digging and keep pushing for the safety of your child.  Dana, Sister to Jason and Sean with BCAP31  After years of genetic testing, it was revealed that my brothers Jason, age 21, and Sean, age 18, were both missing six pairs of their x chromosome. There's no cure for what my brothers have. They're the oldest documented case and most families I've met since have received a diagnosis for their kids around 3 years old. It was at that age when my mom noticed that Jason wasn't hitting his milestones. Kelly, Mom to Emma with dopamine transporter deficiency syndrome (DTDS) When my daughter was 2 months old, I started noticing she was missing milestones. I sought out a complex care pediatrician who started running tests and lab work. Emma received a cerebral palsy diagnosis, but I couldn't accept this diagnosis and sought out other opinions. After a genetic panel on neurotransmitters a genetic counselor revealed the real diagnosis- dopamine transporter deficiency syndrome. Had we settled for the CP diagnosis, we wouldn't have known that our daughter's life expectancy was only late adolescence or that a gene therapy clinical trial will be available.  CONNECT WITH EFFIE PARKS Website https://effieparks.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/OnceUponAGene Instagram https://www.instagram.com/onceuponagene.podcast/?hl=en Built Ford Tough Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1877643259173346/
