Your Point My View Podcast
Your Point My View Podcast is a conversational platform where every viewpoint matters. It’s not a judgement of whose right or wrong. We may ask why someone feels a certain way on a particular subject or, their viewpoint may raise an eyebrow or two, but most times, it’s out of fun because much of our conversation stems from points of views that can’t be debated so we have no choice but to make it an enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere. You're going to look forward to Monday afternoons at 3 PM to see whose views mesh with your view week after week, or who is just far off in left field. The beauty of our platform is that each person's view is their own truth. It’s allowed to come from an authentic place and, if it changes during the course of the conversation, that’s ok as well because maybe the conversation sparked a different way of thinking about things. The rule is not to cast shade on someone else's view or make them feel less of a person for having one different than your own. We are all encouraged to bring our authentic selves to the virtual table. We are all important and we want to keep it that way.

The Caregiver's Journey: Family, Culture, and Support in Today's World
Did you know that one in four adults in America is a caregiver? Most of them don't think of themselves as one, though. They are juggling careers, families, finances, etc., all while showing up for someone else. Join the Your Point My View podcast panel as we take you through our journey of providing care for a specific group of people - the elderly. Whether it's a parent, grandparent, or loved one who cared for us, stepping into the role of a caregiver is both an act of love and a tremendous responsibility. We will shine a light on that journey, exploring what it really means to care for an aging loved one, and how to care for ourselves in the process.
