Love Through The Last Breath (Caregivers) Lauren Miller

As our parents age, we might worry about when it's our turn to care for them. And sometimes that time comes much earlier than we are ready for. Victoria Reese talks to Lauren Miller about her journey as the primary caregiver for her father, Dave J. Miller, during his final years living with COPD. About the guest: Lauren Miller is a boss. She serves as the Chief Growth Officer at M³ Consulting. A management consulting firm started by her father, Dave J. Miller Jr. over 35 years ago. Lauren’s ambition, intelligence, strength and drive is part of her family legacy. So when her father’s battle with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) pushed her from being his daughter, mentee, and colleague, to being his caregiver, life line and source of strength, the effect was jarring. Of all of the things a father can teach his daughter, being his caregiver is a lesson that none of us are ever prepared for. If this episode resonated with you, please leave us a 5-star review.

episode Skin Deep with Justin Hall cover

Skin Deep with Justin Hall

Remember back in the day when Michael Jackson said he had vitiligo and nobody believed him? That collective dismissal set back vitiligo research, advocacy and information back for millions of people living with the disease. In this episode, Victoria Reese talks to "vitiligan" Justin Hall about his journey and advocacy with vitiligo. About the guest: Justin Hall is a speaker, author and vitiligo advocate. Justin’s mission to bring awareness to the vitiligo community has sparked meaningful conversation around a disease that doesn’t typically get as much attention as it deserves, empowering those living with the disease, who need to feel powerful in their skin the most. His children’s book, Aiden’s Spots, follows a kindergartener living with vitiligo, on his first day of school. The book empowers children to embrace their differences, and educate those who may not understand them. If this episode resonated with you, please leave us a 5-star review.
