Advocate with Confidence: Finding Your Voice in Caregiving
What does advocacy look like from the other side of caregiving?
In this episode of The Caregiver Circle, Karen and Meredith welcome Patti Cox, a nurse, care manager, and patient advocate with 30 years of nursing experience and her own personal caregiving journey.
Together, they explore what it means to advocate for someone you love while navigating complicated family dynamics, medical decisions, and the emotional weight of caregiving.
From finding your voice with healthcare professionals to recognizing when it's time to let your person speak for themselves, Patti shares practical advice, professional insight, and reassurance that many of the feelings caregivers experience are completely normal.
The conversation also touches on the importance of backup plans, knowing your limits, preparing for difficult decisions, and remembering that the caregiver needs support, too.
Because advocacy isn't always about speaking louder. Sometimes it's about knowing when to speak up, when to step back, and when to ask for help.
The Caregiver Circle — Support. Empower. Restore.
Take care of yourself while caring for others. And remember, you're never alone in The Caregiver Circle.
