Welcome back, beautiful souls. This is Part 2 of our heartfelt and inspiring conversation with Jane Wolf Frances, psychotherapist, author of “Parenting Our Parents: Transforming the Challenge Into a Journey of Love,” and creator of the global POP Coaching Program.

In this episode, we go deeper into family dynamics, and how to co-create your caregiving dream team, no matter how complicated things feel right now. We talk about spousal caregivers, long-distance support, and why finding your strengths (and your people!) can change the whole journey. Plus: how music and forgiveness can become soul-level medicine—for your loved one and for you.

This is a masterclass in intentional caregiving, family healing, and finding peace in the mess!

This one’s for every caregiver, and every soul supporting a caregiver.

In this episode we chat:

• How to build your POP Team & assign roles based on natural strengths
  
  
• When it’s time for each team member to ask: “How would I like this to go?”
  
  
• The power of forgiveness as freedom
  
  
• Music is medicine! Why music awakens memory—even in advanced dementia
  
  
• How to move from sacrifice to choice with the words: “I choose to…”
  
  
• And ways that might help to get your family on the same page, even when it feels impossible

Hey hey, beautiful caregiver souls!

Did you know your muscles are glucose sponges and movement is one of the most joyful ways to support your brain? In this high-energy finale to our 3-part series with Rachel Daugherty, we dive into the power of movement, protein, sugar awareness, and self-love as tools for long-term brain health.

If you're a caregiver, a cycle-breaker, or a vibrant being craving sustainable, soul-aligned wellness that supports your whole self—this episode is your reminder that tiny changes can spark massive transformation.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE DANCE THROUGH:
💪 Why your muscles are your brain’s BFF—and how even 10 squats can help regulate blood sugar.
🌈 The joyful magic of “fitness all the time” (yep, vacuuming in your underwear counts!).
☕ Why you might want to delay coffee until after breakfast—and how that supports cortisol balance.
🥚 Why Rachel eats 30–40g of protein every morning—and how that fuels her body and brain.
🍒 How to gently reduce sugar without shame (ever tied frozen cherries?).
💖 Per Rachel D, "The wake-up can come from fear, but the action comes from love!"

PLUS:

🧠 Easy movement tips, kitchen hacks, songs that shift the vibe (hello, Glenn Miller & Glass Animals!), and how to celebrate your wins without perfectionism.
