Caregivers Must Be Selfish To Survive | Dave Nassaney | TEDxWilmingtonWomen

Did you know that 30% of caregivers will die before their loved ones do? Many more will become sicker than the ones they care for, eventually needing a caregiver of their own? Everyone will eventually either become a caregiver or need a caregiver, so NOW is the time to learn how to become one, before tragedy strikes! - Dave Nassaney is a radio host, life-coach, entrepreneur and best-selling author of, “It’s My Life Too.” However, his most important role is caregiver to his wife, Charlene, who suffered a massive stroke in 1996 that left her severely speech-impaired and paralyzed on the right side. Dave has recently appeared on 24 network morning shows from Washington DC to Hawaii, and has spoken and shared the stage with Suzanne Somers at the Harvard Faculty Club on campus, Caitlyn Jenner at The Harvard Club of Boston, and the Nasdaq Market site in NYC. His membership website, CaregiverDave.com, teaches caregivers (80% of whom are women), how to not only survive, but to thrive this thing called caregiving by staying alive and healthy. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
