Episode #12 Love in Focus: Nancy's Story of Family, Caregiving and Hope

What does it mean to truly witness life with the people you love? In this heartfelt episode of Compassion in Motion, photographer, author, teacher, and speaker Nancy Borowick shares the deeply personal story behind The Family Imprint—a moving portrait of her parents' journey as they both faced Stage IV cancer, underwent chemotherapy together, and passed away just 364 days apart. Through intimate photographs, handwritten Post-it notes, greeting cards, treasured memories, and honest reflections, Nancy preserves not only the reality of illness and caregiving, but also the extraordinary love, humor, resilience, and compassion that carried her family through unimaginable loss. As both daughter and photographer, she offers a rare perspective on what it means to care for those we love while documenting their lives with dignity and grace. Since its publication, The Family Imprint has touched countless people around the world. Patients, caregivers, and families have found comfort in Nancy's story, discovering they are not alone in their own journeys through cancer, grief, and healing. This conversation is a powerful reminder that compassion isn't always found in grand gestures...it lives in showing up, bearing witness, and preserving the moments that remind us love endures long after goodbye.

Inspired by what his wife Pam shared about the care he brings to his work, I knew I had to sit down with him. In this conversation, Ted shares how he sees the people behind the charges, how every stakeholder can play a role in supporting those in trouble, and how curiosity and empathy can transform the way we understand others. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of justice, humanity, and what it means to treat people—not cases—with care.

Keep Thriving: Pursuing What Lights You Up to Bring Light to Others

In this inspiring episode of Compassion in Motion, I sit down with author and midlife mentor Dana Waters to explore her empowering philosophy from Life on the Fifth Floor and her Thrive movement. Dana reminds us that thriving isn’t about slowing down—it’s about caring for ourselves, pursuing our passions, and living with purpose. We discuss how nurturing our own well-being creates the energy and compassion we need to support others. When we follow what lights us up, our wisdom, experiences, and service naturally overflow into our families, communities, and the people we’re meant to help. Dana shows how sharing our stories, mentoring, and giving back become powerful expressions of a thriving life. If you’re ready to rediscover purpose and let your own thriving inspire others, this conversation is a must-listen.
