00:00:14.950 --> 00:00:16.750
Katherine Autin: Well, Hello.

2
00:00:16.910 --> 00:00:34.109
Katherine Autin: I am so excited to be here. This is my second, podcast the 1st one went up actually, December 24, th 2024. And it's because I am empowering the world of caregivers globally. And I want to bring programs and

3
00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:52.679
Katherine Autin: products to you that can really make a difference in your life. So welcome to Visionary Caregivers Show with Katherine Autin. I've been a caregiver for my husband, who has Parkinson's over 20 years. We now know he's had symptoms more than 46 years, which is really frightening.

4
00:00:52.860 --> 00:01:14.880
Katherine Autin: and I have written a book about that which I will talk about in my next episode. But this episode. I want to introduce someone to you who I am so inspired by, and I love what she offers the world. And so I wanted to introduce to you Patty Mamalis, from Tempe, Arizona.

5
00:01:15.050 --> 00:01:23.510
Katherine Autin: She has a program called Power word postcard. That is the most inspiring idea.

6
00:01:23.770 --> 00:01:47.130
Katherine Autin: and it really comes to fruition when it it comes to caregivers and others who need that special word now and then that just says, you can do this. Yeah, you got this, and I love that. So I wanted to bring Patty on and and let her tell her story, because honestly, what she has to offer is very unique.

7
00:01:47.310 --> 00:02:02.200
Katherine Autin: but so needed in this world where many of us are struggling, and many of us are lonely and need that that little push, and that yeah, you can do it kind of thing. So, Patty Mamalis, take it away and thank you so much for joining me.

8
00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:19.550
Patti Mamalis: Well, thank you, Catherine, for inviting me. I truly feel honored and blessed to be here like Catherine, said, I live in Tempe, Arizona. I am the owner and creator of my business, called power word postcards, and I am

9
00:02:19.590 --> 00:02:47.720
Patti Mamalis: a caretaker. I have kind of been a caretaker all of my life. I raised my 4 sons as a single mom, and my oldest son has down syndrome, and he still lives with us. He's 33, and he still lives with us. So, as a parent of a special needs child, I had to do a lot of caretaking, especially being a single mom.

10
00:02:48.190 --> 00:03:15.609
Patti Mamalis: It's pretty incredible that it's continued through my life. I think I'm a lifelong caregiver. I currently have my 92 year old father living in our house, and fortunately I'm really, truly blessed that he's very, very independent. He still drives. He still takes care of his his needs. Personally, you know, like his grooming and things like that.

11
00:03:15.620 --> 00:03:21.120
Patti Mamalis: But he he lives with us. He's 92, and I help

12
00:03:21.190 --> 00:03:46.545
Patti Mamalis: caretake his meals and just just be supportive to him. So he's living with us, and then I'm married, and I've been married to my husband, Larry, for 9 years, and right out of the gate after we got married one month less than one month to the day. He had a very, very serious stroke. And

13
00:03:47.070 --> 00:03:50.367
Patti Mamalis: He had to go to rehab, and he

14
00:03:51.570 --> 00:04:05.159
Patti Mamalis: Really had to gather his strength back, but I was caretaking for him because he he lost a lot of functionality on his right side. But now he's doing so much better in that area and.

15
00:04:05.160 --> 00:04:25.799
Katherine Autin: Interrupt for just a second, and just say I had no idea. I you know we've talked many, many times, and I did not know any of that about your son. I did not know about your husband shortly after you'd gotten married, so oh, my gosh! My heart goes out to you. I'm sorry to interrupt, but I just had to say that.

16
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:26.440
Patti Mamalis: No.

17
00:04:27.020 --> 00:04:55.679
Patti Mamalis: you did so. Yeah, I was. I was caretaking Larry after his stroke 3 years ago. Larry had a quadruple heart bypass surgery, so that added to the mix. And then he recently was diagnosed with colon cancer. So all of those pieces have just been part of my life and part of my household, and I am kind of

18
00:04:55.750 --> 00:05:01.760
Patti Mamalis: proud about being a caretaker in all of those aspects of my life.

19
00:05:02.790 --> 00:05:03.840
Katherine Autin: Wow!

20
00:05:04.450 --> 00:05:09.470
Katherine Autin: I have to just tell you my heart is just full of love for you, because

21
00:05:09.980 --> 00:05:31.099
Katherine Autin: what you're dealing with is so incredibly difficult, and your attitude and and your ability to continue to run your business, to offer hope and empowerment to others, and inspire inspiring others to keep taking those journeys that they dream about. Thank you.

22
00:05:31.100 --> 00:06:00.210
Patti Mamalis: Yes, and my 3 words sort of go along with your brand words, but my 3 words for my business are to inspire, to motivate and to support. So I create products to inspire, motivate, and to support in all wakes of life. But I'm really, really super proud about this brand new product. It's called the power word Burnout prevention program.

23
00:06:00.280 --> 00:06:16.139
Patti Mamalis: And it's a digital product. And it comes with private Facebook group and what it is. It's a weekly email that you can print out. I'm providing an acrylic frame for free, so you can

24
00:06:16.380 --> 00:06:24.230
Patti Mamalis: print it every week and pop it in this frame and have it in your workspace, or wherever that is around you, just.

25
00:06:24.230 --> 00:06:25.510
Katherine Autin: I have mine.

26
00:06:25.510 --> 00:06:47.010
Patti Mamalis: Yeah, just to inspire you and to motivate you into. And have you keep going. And my biggest thing for caretakers is that we have to take care of ourselves first, st before we can pour our cup into everybody else. So if I am taking care of myself, which I do

27
00:06:47.120 --> 00:07:00.869
Patti Mamalis: wholeheartedly, I wake up really, really early in the morning, when the house is very quiet, and I journal and I do angel cards, and I pull tokens out of a bag, and I have a list of gratitude

28
00:07:01.050 --> 00:07:07.500
Patti Mamalis: and actually 5 min of silence where I just try to ask the question, what do you need today.

29
00:07:08.110 --> 00:07:10.949
Patti Mamalis: What does Patty need today?

30
00:07:11.320 --> 00:07:12.590
Patti Mamalis: And I listen.

31
00:07:12.850 --> 00:07:23.419
Patti Mamalis: I listen to myself. I listen to my body, and once I have my daily I call it my spiritual gym. Once I do that, and I also go for a walk.

32
00:07:24.440 --> 00:07:31.670
Patti Mamalis: Then I I'm ready to face the day, and it doesn't matter if I have to go to doctor's appointments, or if I have to.

33
00:07:31.870 --> 00:07:44.859
Patti Mamalis: whatever I have to do to help my family function, then I'm ready to do that, and I'm just so grateful that my creative brain came up with this burnout prevention program because

34
00:07:45.010 --> 00:07:50.500
Patti Mamalis: all of us are in the same boat, especially long-term caregivers.

35
00:07:51.110 --> 00:08:00.400
Patti Mamalis: Burnout is so prevalent, and if we are not taking care of ourselves, then how? How can we take care of others so.

36
00:08:01.140 --> 00:08:17.119
Katherine Autin: And that's really the bottom line, for what both you and I are focusing in on is really to help caretakers, caregivers, and in the vernacular of the Parkinson's community care partners. They call each other care partners.

37
00:08:17.672 --> 00:08:32.129
Katherine Autin: It's really that. Yes, you're caring for someone else. But you also have to be partners, especially if your spouses. Now there are all kinds of levels of of caregiving, you know, for your children, for your spouse, for your parents.

38
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:39.779
Katherine Autin: or even for your neighbors and friends. I mean, many of us help out in whatever way we can right.

39
00:08:39.780 --> 00:08:41.530
Patti Mamalis: Right, exactly.

40
00:08:41.730 --> 00:09:07.199
Katherine Autin: But what I'm excited about and why I wanted you to appear on this podcast as a guest. I'm so excited that you're here and thank you for agreeing to do this is because my program visionary caregivers is to empower, educate, and bring creativity back to the caregiver. I want folks to find the idea that you can find yourself joyful

41
00:09:07.410 --> 00:09:21.950
Katherine Autin: outside of your life as a caregiver with some creativity. So very soon I have a new website that's going up where people will have access, not just to creative events, where we're going to have

42
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:41.390
Katherine Autin: singers and writers and journalists and all kinds of people like yourself, who are creative and bringing their ideas to you, because I'm hoping for people to find something that empowers them and makes them feel a little bit less lonely and isolated

43
00:09:41.400 --> 00:10:02.000
Katherine Autin: and frustrated and burned out as caregivers. So soon we will have a connection to your power word burnout prevention program on my website where they can access that information and purchase your program. I purchased it myself, and I love it so thank you.

44
00:10:02.090 --> 00:10:08.499
Katherine Autin: And I think that for all of us who are caregivers. It's an every day is a different journey.

45
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:09.520
Patti Mamalis: Right.

46
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:20.180
Katherine Autin: And I think that a lot of us end up being like, what's next? What, doctor? -Oh! Something came up. We have to go to the hospital

47
00:10:20.470 --> 00:10:26.559
Katherine Autin: and so part of what I've also done, and I'll talk about it just briefly is I've put together a

48
00:10:26.710 --> 00:10:30.939
Katherine Autin: because I'm a board certified patient advocate and A. Parkinson's expert.

49
00:10:31.100 --> 00:10:37.549
Katherine Autin: I've put together a program that I've been trying to do since 2021, and it's 2025.

50
00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:52.149
Katherine Autin: I wanted to teach people how to be patient advocates for themselves and their loved ones like you said, if you don't do well, your loved ones don't do well, it's really got to be that team effort.

51
00:10:52.390 --> 00:11:00.379
Katherine Autin: And so I have my patient advocate training for caregivers. That will be online at starting February 10.th

52
00:11:00.550 --> 00:11:04.539
Katherine Autin: But it's something that's near and dear to my heart, and especially

53
00:11:04.740 --> 00:11:13.806
Katherine Autin: Patty. I don't know if you've read a lot of the recent Aarp magazines. But there! There is a real

54
00:11:14.510 --> 00:11:17.100
Katherine Autin: There are fewer and fewer doctors available.

55
00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:28.559
Katherine Autin: and it's going to be up to us as caregivers to really read between the lines and the few times we meet with the doctors we're going to have to be prepared.

56
00:11:28.680 --> 00:11:31.250
Katherine Autin: We're going to have to know what questions to ask

57
00:11:32.060 --> 00:11:39.200
Katherine Autin: and make use of every minute of time that we have with a doctor or professional medical advisor, if you will.

58
00:11:39.370 --> 00:12:03.609
Katherine Autin: So I think part of what your program does is give people this empowerment, but also these words that you have. I'm going to read a couple of them that I just that I just got amplify beyond opportunities, boundaries, extraordinary, awesome, wild side. Go bold, believe it. Anything's possible.

59
00:12:03.820 --> 00:12:12.700
Katherine Autin: Build a new system. I am yourself. It's possible. All of these words are words that caregivers need.

60
00:12:13.170 --> 00:12:16.890
Katherine Autin: They need to incorporate them into their lives.

61
00:12:17.020 --> 00:12:22.530
Katherine Autin: And it's almost like a habit that develops like you were saying, you get up

62
00:12:22.890 --> 00:12:30.909
Katherine Autin: and you do these specific things every day to get your mindset. I've got to do this, and this is what I'm going to do today.

63
00:12:31.090 --> 00:12:34.880
Katherine Autin: and whatever comes next, we don't know.

64
00:12:37.260 --> 00:12:39.400
Patti Mamalis: That's true. That's true.

65
00:12:40.400 --> 00:12:48.040
Katherine Autin: And and I love what you put together because with your power postcards which I've been getting, and I love them.

66
00:12:48.160 --> 00:12:54.780
Katherine Autin: It seems like they arrive at the right time. So I also want to encourage people to look at your power word postcard program.

67
00:12:54.780 --> 00:12:55.710
Patti Mamalis: It looks like this.

68
00:12:55.890 --> 00:13:06.579
Katherine Autin: They're awesome. They're so awesome. And when you get them it's almost like somebody's reading your mind. And you're like, yes, I needed that today. Thank you.

69
00:13:06.940 --> 00:13:13.270
Katherine Autin: The other day I got one because I'm so close to finishing getting my book published.

70
00:13:13.370 --> 00:13:25.459
Katherine Autin: and I read the card. And I was like, this is what I needed. And then the next day I got my power word, bone, burnout, prevention sheet, and I put it in front of me, and I was like

71
00:13:25.610 --> 00:13:36.349
Katherine Autin: somebody's reading my mind. They know what I need. So I just love what you're doing. And I'm so happy that we're able to coordinate and

72
00:13:36.520 --> 00:13:52.279
Katherine Autin: and really collaborate to make a difference in the caregiver world. I can't wait to see where things go from here, and I know maybe you could tell us a little bit more about how your husband's doing, and because I know that's a struggle.

73
00:13:52.670 --> 00:13:58.519
Patti Mamalis: Yes, so he actually had surgery in November,

74
00:13:59.710 --> 00:14:28.140
Patti Mamalis: November 18.th He was supposed to be out of the hospital like between 2 and 3 days, but he had a little bit of complications. He was actually in the hospital for 7 days, and then he was out for 2 and then back in for 4 more. But the good news is that they got all of the colon cancer. So that is very, very exciting.

75
00:14:28.570 --> 00:14:34.480
Patti Mamalis: and we'll take it from here. He's still having some issues with some other problems. But

76
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:42.620
Patti Mamalis: he's actually got to ring the bell at the cancer center. And he is cancer free. So that is a big.

77
00:14:42.620 --> 00:14:50.789
Katherine Autin: Congratulations. Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! That's wonderful news! And you know the thing is that you've been through a lot

78
00:14:51.140 --> 00:14:58.069
Katherine Autin: together, you and he, and and with your son, and of course raising boys is not always easy.

79
00:14:58.070 --> 00:14:59.441
Patti Mamalis: Yeah, I have 4 of them.

80
00:14:59.670 --> 00:15:02.940
Katherine Autin: I have one who just turned 43, and

81
00:15:03.070 --> 00:15:17.059
Katherine Autin: he's my godsend. I love him so much. Michael is is amazing, and I think we're all very lucky, and we have to remember that every single day. So what you were talking about gratitude?

82
00:15:17.539 --> 00:15:34.030
Katherine Autin: I think that's hard for us when you're going through these things where you're frustrated, and and all of that, and I don't know if you feel comfortable with me saying this. But for me it's taken me now. I've told you I've been a caregiver now over 20 years.

83
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:42.330
Katherine Autin: and it wasn't too bad the 1st couple of years. But after the 5th year was when things really started to change.

84
00:15:42.830 --> 00:15:49.769
Katherine Autin: And for years I've been thinking, you know, I need to talk to someone I need to talk to a professional.

85
00:15:50.810 --> 00:16:01.569
Katherine Autin: and I want to encourage people. And I you probably feel the same way is, if you feel you need to talk to somebody to get through a situation, or even just to help you

86
00:16:01.860 --> 00:16:05.590
Katherine Autin: in your daily or monthly situation that you're in.

87
00:16:06.162 --> 00:16:15.210
Katherine Autin: I finally, after 3 months, got an appointment and spoke to a therapist the other day a counselor, and

88
00:16:15.700 --> 00:16:17.359
Katherine Autin: it really helped.

89
00:16:18.260 --> 00:16:24.300
Katherine Autin: And I'd like to encourage people along with your your burnout prevention program

90
00:16:24.500 --> 00:16:32.639
Katherine Autin: to to think about. That's another self-care thing is to know you need. It's okay to reach out.

91
00:16:33.160 --> 00:16:35.260
Katherine Autin: It's okay. If you need help.

92
00:16:35.710 --> 00:16:36.310
Patti Mamalis: Right.

93
00:16:36.870 --> 00:16:40.160
Katherine Autin: It's okay to ask friends and family for help.

94
00:16:40.660 --> 00:16:42.999
Katherine Autin: You shouldn't have to do it alone.

95
00:16:43.160 --> 00:16:49.819
Patti Mamalis: So I have a really good story about that just recently, throughout, I mean, within the last 6 months

96
00:16:49.880 --> 00:17:17.260
Patti Mamalis: it has been really stressful around our house and just dealing with all of these things. I went to a really teeny, tiny school in for college. It's called Davis and Elkins college in Elkins, West Virginia, and I actually was a theater major in a music minor, and the costume the staff at Davis and Elkins College. We got to know very, very well, and

97
00:17:17.380 --> 00:17:22.790
Patti Mamalis: I'm 65 years old. So I went to college in 1987,

98
00:17:22.890 --> 00:17:29.139
Patti Mamalis: and we're still connected. And my my old professor

99
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:35.199
Patti Mamalis: she called me, and she said, Patty, she goes. You can call me anytime that you want.

100
00:17:35.760 --> 00:17:46.460
Patti Mamalis: and I'm like for real, and she's like yes, and there's a 3 h difference on sometimes between Arizona and West Virginia, and

101
00:17:46.620 --> 00:17:49.449
Patti Mamalis: so sometimes I would have a panic attack.

102
00:17:50.240 --> 00:18:06.530
Patti Mamalis: and I'd get so upset and so nervous, and it was 5 o'clock in the morning at my time, and I'm like, who am I going to call? And then I called my friend Ruth, and she would talk me off the ledge, and she would just like, it's okay. It's going to be all right. So to have

103
00:18:06.780 --> 00:18:25.900
Patti Mamalis: some phone numbers handy in your phone of people that you have prearranged to already talk with. And it doesn't. It can be somebody early on the East Coast that's early morning, or somebody that's on the West Coast that's late at night, or something like that. So you can have.

104
00:18:26.100 --> 00:18:30.820
Patti Mamalis: I would suggest 3 or 4 people in your phone that when

105
00:18:31.320 --> 00:18:41.680
Patti Mamalis: the shit hits the fan, excuse my French, but when when it gets crazy out there that you can take a breath, take a step back, pick up the phone and have

106
00:18:41.840 --> 00:18:56.500
Patti Mamalis: very specific people that you can call as a resource and seeing also professional counseling, I think, is excellent, too. So, taking care of yourself so you can take care of others, is so very, very important.

107
00:18:57.520 --> 00:19:09.770
Katherine Autin: It's critical. And but it brings me back to your power word burnout prevention program, because, having that come every week reminds it reminds you that you are supported.

108
00:19:09.770 --> 00:19:10.220
Patti Mamalis: Right.

109
00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:12.780
Katherine Autin: And that somebody is out there.

110
00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:27.339
Katherine Autin: you know, egging you on to keep going, no matter what, because there are days when I don't know about you, but there are days when I just want to run away, and I have run away. There's a beautiful park near us.

111
00:19:27.530 --> 00:19:29.960
Katherine Autin: and I've written about this in our book.

112
00:19:30.070 --> 00:19:37.319
Katherine Autin: When I got really, really upset years ago, I would get in the car, and I drive to the park, and there's a lake.

113
00:19:37.560 --> 00:19:59.370
Katherine Autin: and there's a swing that would overlook the lake, and the ducks and the swans and water calms me. Some people it does, and I found that was my happy place. I would go there, and I would swing and watch the ducks and the water, and I would cry till I couldn't cry anymore, and then I would go home.

114
00:19:59.690 --> 00:20:00.180
Patti Mamalis: Yeah.

115
00:20:00.290 --> 00:20:13.240
Katherine Autin: Keeping it in is not good for you, and it's certainly not good for anybody else, because you never know when you're gonna explode. And I have exploded. I don't know if that's been an issue with you, but

116
00:20:13.710 --> 00:20:17.590
Katherine Autin: there are days when at the end of the day, and he asked me to do something I'm like.

117
00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:19.580
Katherine Autin: can't you do it?

118
00:20:20.130 --> 00:20:26.589
Katherine Autin: And then I feel bad. And then I'm like, Oh, okay, okay, I'm 1 more time. I'm getting up.

119
00:20:27.220 --> 00:20:29.689
Katherine Autin: It's hard to be a caregiver.

120
00:20:29.910 --> 00:20:33.899
Patti Mamalis: Yes, that's why it's so important to take care of yourself.

121
00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:43.660
Katherine Autin: It is, and many of us get to the point where we just do perfunctory things like, you know. You'll see your doctor once a year because you have to.

122
00:20:43.870 --> 00:20:52.650
Katherine Autin: But there are things that happen in between, and we have to be alerted to that and pay attention to our minds and our bodies.

123
00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:55.929
Katherine Autin: because things can snap.

124
00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:57.610
Patti Mamalis: Yes.

125
00:20:58.120 --> 00:21:00.269
Katherine Autin: And it's hard to come back from that.

126
00:21:00.860 --> 00:21:11.049
Katherine Autin: And in the meantime you may have hurt somebody's feelings like, I know there are times I've hurt my husband's feelings, or I've yelled at him when it wasn't him I'm really yelling at. It's the situation.

127
00:21:11.230 --> 00:21:11.910
Patti Mamalis: Right.

128
00:21:12.090 --> 00:21:21.020
Katherine Autin: And I feel so guilty. So I want to thank you. For you know, coming on this, podcast. This is only my second time doing a pod.

129
00:21:21.540 --> 00:21:25.160
Katherine Autin: and thank you for allowing me to interview you.

130
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:26.480
Patti Mamalis: Yes, of course.

131
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:39.510
Patti Mamalis: No. I just think that the potential of our partnership is just amazing, because caregivers are on like, really high on my list like educators, medical professional people, caregivers.

132
00:21:40.210 --> 00:21:43.410
Patti Mamalis: actually like customer service people. They get.

133
00:21:43.410 --> 00:21:43.980
Katherine Autin: Oh, yeah.

134
00:21:43.980 --> 00:21:45.339
Patti Mamalis: You know, for sure.

135
00:21:46.180 --> 00:21:58.929
Patti Mamalis: But if I can target and and really streamline this Burnout prevention program to those people that are truly, truly need some inspiration, motivation and support. Then that's

136
00:21:59.090 --> 00:22:00.890
Patti Mamalis: I'm doing my passion.

137
00:22:01.140 --> 00:22:01.960
Patti Mamalis: Yeah.

138
00:22:02.210 --> 00:22:14.019
Katherine Autin: Well, I think we both are in our own, you know ways, and I also want people to look at your power word postcard because that's another thing that is great that you offer.

139
00:22:14.180 --> 00:22:18.129

But sometimes I really don't feel positive. And your cards and your whole system, this burnout prevention program is wonderful. So thank you for creating it
