S2EP54-Drew Deraney-How to Not Just Survive, But Thrive as a Caregiver
Bringing Education Home
Ever felt like you’re caving under the pressure of caregiving? Drew Duraney is here to help turn that notion upside down! With his wealth of experience as a caregiver himself, Drew shares candidly about the trials and triumphs of raising a child with autism. We get into the real talk about the emotional rollercoaster that comes with the territory, and how Drew navigated his own personal upheavals to emerge stronger and more focused than ever. He discusses practical strategies like the “five-minute reset” to help caregivers reclaim their sanity, even in the midst of chaos. The conversation flows with humor and heart, as we all realize that while the journey can be tough, it’s also filled with moments of joy and connection. Get ready for some laughs, some tears, and a whole lot of relatable content that might just help you find your own path from surviving to thriving as a caregiver.
