Elizabeth Miller has extensive experience as a family caregiver. She cared for her aging parents with chronic illnesses as they desired to age in place, which required much travel and coordination between siblings. She also cares for her older brother Tom, who has developmental and intellectual disabilities. Elizabeth shares moving her family members to different living situations as her parents' health declined. She continues caring for her brother, Tom, along with her siblings.
Elizabeth started the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast and resources to share her knowledge and lessons learned from her caregiving journey. Through being open about her experiences, she has helped many other caregivers. Her podcast and newsletter provide practical self-care tips that empower caregivers. She emphasizes the importance of addressing all aspects of well-being, including physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social, and professional fulfillment.
Elizabeth's caregiving experiences have transformed her career path. Where she previously worked in corporate settings, she now focuses full-time on supporting family caregivers through her business. She encourages letting go of expectations and having faith that things will work out, as she has survived difficult life challenges and transitions through caregiving.
