She also talks about how being playful makes us healthier and for May’s National Mental Health Awareness Month she shares insights on trends in the workplace and how employers are supporting employee mental health – especially for caregivers reporting more burnout and emotional health issues since the pandemic. For our Well Home Design News, Sherri shares the latest information from AARP’s caregiving out-of-pocket costs study specifically on caregiving shopping. She also provides several e-commerce online shopping sites for caregivers for older adult and caregiver home care needs. We finish the episode as always with our Me Time Monday Wellness Hack on Daydreaming – how we can improve brain health through “free moving” and elastic thinking that gives us more flexibility and empathy, lowers our stress and improves our relationships.
