Creating Your Self-Care Team with Nikki Nurse - Caregiver Spotlight

Creating Your Self-Care Team with Nikki Nurse - Caregiver Spotlight

Author: Elizabeth Miller Featured on The Whole Care Network October 4, 2023 Duration: 1:03:13

Nikki Nurse inspires women to live their best lives. As a former family caregiver with 10+ years of practice, Nikki believes that real health and wellbeing come through tending to small moments - in the mundane of our everyday lives. In this episode, Nikki focuses on creating your care team to help you with your self-care and how technology plays a huge role.


We discuss how incorporating colors in design, fashion, and other small details can make colossal impacts. Nikki shares her story of how she got ‘lost in the caregiving sauce’ and how, with intention and ‘mindful moments, ’ she has created a happy and healthy flow for her life.
