In this special bonus episode of the Focused Healthy Family Podcast, Don Grothoff steps into the guest chair as he's interviewed by Stewart Mada, host of Senior Care Connections and owner of Visiting Angels Lake Norman.

Don shares his personal caregiving journey and explains how that experience led him to dedicate his life to helping caregivers reduce stress and emotional overwhelm through Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also known as Tapping.

The conversation explores the emotional challenges caregivers face every day, why it's so important to start family conversations about aging before a crisis occurs, and how simple mind-body techniques can help calm the nervous system during difficult seasons of life.

Stewart and Don also discuss one of today's biggest threats to older adults—senior scams and fraud. From common telephone scams to the growing dangers of AI voice cloning, they share practical advice families can use to help protect aging loved ones.

You'll also hear Don talk about:

• His family's personal experiences with caregiving and health challenges.
• How EFT helped his family through difficult times.
• The importance of supporting caregivers—not just the person receiving care.
• Why planning early makes aging decisions easier for everyone.
• How technology and AI are changing healthcare for both good and bad.

Whether you're caring for a parent, supporting a spouse, or preparing for your family's future, this conversation offers encouragement, practical wisdom, and reminders that caregivers deserve care too.
