WEBVTT - Introducing: CareWalks

0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:03.440
<v Speaker 1>We all know someone who serves as a caregiver for

0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>a loved one, a cousin who looks after your aunt,

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:10.320
<v Speaker 1>or a friend who cares for their ailing spouse. In fact,

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>more than fifty million Americans are primary caregivers for a

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>family member, according to a study conducted by AARP and

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the National Alliance for Caregiving and the truth about caregiving

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>is It's not an easy job. These millions of Americans

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:29.320
<v Speaker 1>are all too familiar with the emotional, mental, and physical

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>impact that caregiving can have on a person.

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Hi.

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:36.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm Holly Robinson P and I understand firsthand how the

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>caregiving journey can transform a family. That's why I'm hosting

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the brand new podcast care Walks, a collaboration from iHeartRadio

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>and voltairean arthritis pain Gel. In each episode, we will

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.240
<v Speaker 1>walk you through stories and insights around what it means

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>to be a caregiver and how we can manage the

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>physical impact it has on the body. We want this

0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>to be the show that gets you on your feet

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 1>and keeps you company on a walk. So when you

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.479
<v Speaker 1>hit play on a new episode, I'll guide you through

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 1>mindful walking meditations to start off your walk on the

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>right foot and then we'll keep walking through as we

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>dig into the great conversations with our guests. Just think

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.959
<v Speaker 1>at this show as you're walking, buddy. It's a perfect

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.119
<v Speaker 1>way to not only manage some of the physical pain

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>you're experiencing, but it also gives you space to reset

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>mentally from the more challenging parts of your life.

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:30.960
<v Speaker 2>There's this guilt associated for so many people, and this

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 2>warped idea that taking care of yourself is a selfish act,

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.400
<v Speaker 2>when in fact it is mandatory.

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I actually have a walking prescription where I can write

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 1>this out for people and say, look, this is the

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>medicine for your arthritis. The medicine for your arthritis is

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>to get up and walk. We also know that in

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>a day filled with caregiver duty, sometimes all you have

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>is ten minutes or less to yourself. We got you covered.

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Each week we'll publish a full length episode along with

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>an abridged ten minute version. This way, if you only

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>have time for a short walk, we're still there making

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>sure you don't miss a thing. We are here to

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>help you care for yourself while you care for the

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>ones you love. As they say, you cannot fill from

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>an empty cup, So let's work to refill yours on
