EP 104 :: Loving Them Forward :: Christina Keys
This week, Bobbi & Mike talk with Christina Keys, founder of Loving Them Forward. Christina had a successful career, traveled, was financially stable, healthy, and happy then on March 16, 2013 her mother had a stroke and was given a 1% chance to live. Christina instantly went from career woman to caregiver and within 4 years of caregiving for her mother, she was financially, emotionally, mentally, and physically bankrupt. The doctors told Christina she would be lucky to live 6 months – her body was literally shutting down from the stress of caregiving and trying to do it alone. Hear how Christina reimagined self-care and how she is saving herself and her mom simultaneously.
After 4 years of strenuous caregiving, Christina Keys had a choice to make--figure out how to change her life and live while caring for her mother or give up and start making arrangements on how her mother would be cared for after her death. She chooses to live and not only change her life but now helps to change the lives of caregivers through Loving Them Forward. Turning a mess into a message, her mission is to make sure caregivers everywhere are seen, heard valued, appreciated and are Never Alone.
You can learn more about Christina on her website and follow Loving Them Forward on Facebook.
