Caregiver Recovery: Redefining Normal and Moving Forward invites listeners into another honest conversation with Christina Keys about life after caregiving. Too often, caregivers are left 'soul tired' and unprepared for life after caregiving.

Christina is a caregiving advocate, national speaker, and founder of Keys for Caregiving. After a decade-long journey caring for her mother post-stroke, Christina now empowers family caregivers to prioritize self-care, navigate life after caregiving, and build stronger caregiver communities. She created the Caregiver Recovery program and is passionate about making sure caregivers are seen, supported, and celebrated.

In this episode, Christina shares what it means to rediscover freedom, redefine “normal,” and carry forward the love and blessings that remain with her post-caregiving. Through her story, we’re reminded that recovery is not only about healing ourselves, but also about walking alongside those who will come after us.

In our first full episode since the relaunch, we sit down with former caregiver, Licia Thompson-Young, who shares what it means to grow forward with intention after caregiving. From stepping beyond her comfort zone to embracing the unknown in unfamiliar environments, she reveals how healing began when she allowed herself to feel — and how grief, once buried, found release in her HIIT (High-intensity interval training) workouts at the gym. This is a story of courage, change, and the quiet power of choice.

You’ll hear about her RISE™ framework (Renew, Ignite, Soar with Excellence) and her helpful resource “When Your Soul Whispers”. Licia is a Renewal Expert as a Leadership & Personal Growth Coach. Tune in for a conversation about her newfound strength, renewal, and the surprising places where healing begins.

When caregiving ends, it can feel like standing at the edge of a cliff—grief, uncertainty, and a quiet question echoing: “What now?” In this heartfelt episode of Island Treasures, we explore the transition from active caregiving to life beyond the role. Whether your caregiving journey spanned years - or months, the ending often brings a profound shift in identity, routine, and emotional landscape.

In this episode we talk about the “treasuring” phase of caregiving, where former caregivers are invited to reflect, regroup, and rediscover purpose. This phase is a time to honor memories, process grief, and ask meaningful questions like “Who am I now?” and “What brings me joy?”

We also speak about the course, Finding Your Purpose After Caregiving, designed to help caregivers recalibrate and move forward with intention. Plus, we preview upcoming episodes featuring guests who’ve navigated this transition—some with clarity, others still finding their way—all offering hope, inspiration, and shared wisdom.

This episode marks a new season for the podcast, one that embraces renewal and celebrates the courage it takes to step into life after caregiving. Subscribe to the podcast and join us on the 23rd of each month when new episodes drop.
