Hosted by broadcaster Teri Hart, the show explores the emotional, financial, and practical challenges caregivers face, from navigating dementia and Alzheimer’s to making long term care decisions, managing caregiver burnout, and handling complex family dynamics. It also makes space for the unexpected moments of connection, resilience, and even beauty that can emerge through caregiving. Through honest conversations with medical experts, policymakers, advocates, and well known Canadians including The Honourable Marci Ien and Cheryl Hickey, Teri brings both practical tools and emotional reassurance to those supporting someone they love. Whether you are a part of the sandwich generation balancing work and caregiving, adjusting to a new diagnosis, or walking alongside someone in their later years, The Hart of It All is for you. Caregiving asks a lot of us. It can stretch us, change us, and deepen us. And when we talk about it honestly, we remember that we're not alone. Hosted on Acast.

In this candid conversation with Teri Hart, Jeanne reflects on what it meant to suddenly become the person needing care after a lifetime of independence. She shares how the support of her husband Iain, her daughters, friends, and an outpouring of community helped carry her through chemotherapy, surgery, and recovery. With remarkable honesty and positivity, Jeanne also offers thoughtful insight into how we can better show up for someone facing illness. From simple check-ins to choosing encouragement over fear, her perspective reminds us that caregiving is as much about compassion and presence as it is about practical help. If you are navigating your own cancer journey, supporting someone you love through illness, or trying to understand how to show up when someone needs care, Jeanne’s story is filled with wisdom, warmth, and hope. __ This episode of The Hart of it All is brought to you by Capital Direct.
