Welcome to the Live BOLD Movement Podcast with host Tierney Shirrell! In this episode titled "Caring for the Caregiver: Bless, Edify, & Encourage Others through the Journey," Tierney sits down with special guest Amber Johnson, a blogger, podcaster, and caregiver.
Amber opens up about her personal journey as a caregiver for her father, who suffered from strokes and became bedridden. She courageously discusses the emotional, mental, and physical challenges that come with caregiving, shedding light on the often unseen struggles faced by those in this role. Amber emphasizes the importance of maintaining faith, self-care, and seeking support throughout the caregiving journey.
As the conversation unfolds, Amber shares the evolution of her platform, 'The BEE Channel,' which stands for 'Bless, Edify, and Encourage.' She reveals how her platform started as a weight loss journey and transformed into a space for sharing encouragement, faith-based content, and her own caregiving experiences. Amber's mission is to spread hope, love, and light through her content, providing a beacon of support for others who may be going through similar challenges.
Throughout the episode, Tierney and Amber touch on various topics, including grief, mental health, therapy, and the significance of community support for caregivers. They discuss the concept of 'ambiguous grief,' which refers to the loss of expectations and hopes for a loved one's future, even when they are still alive. Amber emphasizes the importance of staying rooted in faith, immersing oneself in the Bible, prayer, and seeking spiritual nourishment.
Amber also shares her personal decision to seek therapy and highlights the importance of mental health in the context of caregiving. She encourages listeners to remove any stigma associated with seeking professional help and to prioritize their mental well-being, just as they would prioritize their physical health.
In the spirit of support and connection, Amber invites listeners to connect with her on her various platforms, including her blog, podcast, and social media channels. By accessing her content, listeners can join her mission of blessing, edifying, and encouraging others. Amber's experiences and insights are invaluable resources for caregivers or anyone who knows someone in a caregiving role.
