Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee

Caregiving Advice with Drew Deraney

Carrie Verrocchio

In this heartfelt and transformational episode, CarrieVee is joined by Caregiver Family Health Coach Drew Deraney, who opens up about the real, raw experience of caring for his adult son with autism. Drew shares how that journey led him to create a framework he now uses to guide other caregivers through the challenges of maintaining personal health, identity, and purpose.

Drew introduces his Six Pillars of Family Health—Physical, Intellectual, Love (Emotional), Legacy (Financial), Awareness (Mental), and Spiritual/Energetic—and explains how each of these areas plays a vital role in whole-person wellness. Through honest conversation and actionable insights, he encourages caregivers to take back the pen and start writing their own stories again.

Whether you're currently caregiving or supporting someone who is, this episode will leave you with renewed clarity, compassion, and a few practical tools to begin healing and growing.


As a dedicated Caregiver Family Health Coach, I am passionate about empowering individuals to reclaim their narratives. With an MBA and certifications in Mindset Mastery Coaching and Empathy Training, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to those navigating the complexities of caregiving and personal identity.

For Caregivers: I understand the challenges faced by those caring for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. The support services landscape can be overwhelming, and I am here to provide clarity and guidance. My mission is to care for the caregiver, ensuring that you have the tools and support needed to thrive on this journey.

Join me in transforming challenges into opportunities for growth. Let’s embark on this journey together.
