Hey hey, beautiful caregiver souls!

Did you know research shows that the effects of dementia can begin in the brain 20+ years before symptoms appear? Today’s guest is about to light up your mind, your heart, and your soul!

Meet Rachel Daugherty from Booty & Brains—a vibrant, radiant voice in the wellness world who turned her mother’s Alzheimer's diagnosis into a mission for brain-first, soul-aligned living. In this powerful kickoff to our 3-part series, Rachel shares how caregiving cracked her open, changed her life, and taught her the deep connection between metabolic health and the mind.

🧠✨WE TALK:✨🧠

• Preventative self-care is a love letter to your future self. What you do now matters!
• Alzheimer’s isn’t all genetics—it’s metabolic too. Lifestyle, stress, and daily choices play a huge role. The cascade can start decades before symptoms.
• Reparenting while caregiving is real—and it's powerful. Kama shares how caring for her mom gave her the chance to reparent the self.
• Laughter, levity, and weirdness are medicine. Rachel brings science with sparkle and proves self-love can be fun, weird, and wildly effective.
• Young caregivers and feeling “too young” for the weight of it all.
• Why squats, self-love lemonade, and Michelle Obama arms matter.
• How our future self is always watching, cheering, and waiting!

This is a story of resilience, realness, and radiant transformation. Thank you for dancing with us today!
