The conversation also explores the link between adaptive sports and education. Coach Jessica has seen athletes pursue college degrees they never imagined earning — sometimes later in life — because sports opened the door to new possibilities.

In this episode of Mind, Body, and Wallet®, host Gene Lanzoni sits down with Eileen Bonney, Senior Vice President of Client Success at Wellthy, to explore the emotional and practical realities of caregiving. From supporting a loved one through cognitive decline to managing daily responsibilities, caregivers often navigate a complex mix of grief, stress, and decision-making — often without recognition or support.

This conversion explores how “micro losses” show up over time, why anticipatory grief can feel like “living loss,” and how caregivers can preserve meaningful connection through changing relationships. The discussion also covers practical strategies for reducing decision fatigue, communicating with family members, and advocating for workplace flexibility and benefits.

Whether you’re caring for a parent, partner, or loved one — or supporting someone who is — this episode offers insight, empathy, and actionable guidance to help you navigate caregiving with greater clarity and resilience.
