That's a Hard NO Podcast with Heather Drago - Setting Boundaries as a Caregiver

That’s a Hard No is a podcast about saying no and setting boundaries – without feeling fear, guilt, or FOMO. Hosted by Heather Drago, a busy wife, mom, business owner, and cancer survivor, we talk about everything related to boundaries, and why it can feel so damn scary to set them. We meet all kinds of interesting people from different walks of life with various takes on the subject, and we look at what’s happening in our culture and how it all comes back, sometimes, to simply saying no. New episodes every Tuesday!

Kristi Horner is the Founder and Executive Director for Courage to Caregivers. She is a certified Family Peer Support Specialist and NAMI Ohio Trainer for this program. In 2014, she lost her brother to suicide. She had been one of her brother’s mental illness long-distance caregivers for four years. He lived with depression, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. As someone who supported someone she loved very much, living with mental illness, she knew there had to be a better way to support mental illness caregivers and the idea for Courage to Caregivers was born! Listen in as she discusses the struggles of caregiving, learning to prioritize yourself, and ways to avoid fatigue and burnout.
