About Donna

Donna, a clinical dietitian for more than thirty years, found herself on the other side of the health-care team when her daughter, husband, and young adult son were each diagnosed with cancer. Through her Caregiver Tea Time Podcast, she shares heartfelt reflections on the emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of being a family caregiver.

Now retired and beyond her own caregiving years, Donna continues to offer the messages she once needed herself — in the hope they bring comfort, reassurance, and connection to others walking a similar path.

  • Season 1

    Season 1 of Caregiver Tea Time is called "Let's Get It Together".

    In this season, I'm going to share several tools and skills I have learned and used in my time as a caregiver. Each of our journeys is unique, and what was helpful for me may not be helpful for everyone. I hope this introduction to research-backed techniques will offer new possibilities for those seeking help with stress reduction.
