The Cancer Caregiver
The Cancer Caregiver
The Cancer Caregiver Podcast is for the relentless cancer caregivers who tirelessly prioritize their loved ones but struggle to care for themselves amidst overwhelming responsibilities, societal expectations, and feelings of isolation. What if self-care didn’t feel like one more impossible task? What if you could find moments of joy, even in the chaos? Caregivers face constant challenges: battling burnout, feeling unseen, and navigating the overwhelming pressure to always put themselves last. These struggles exist because society glorifies the selfless caregiver, leaving little room for personal care. But denying yourself isn't sustainable. Instead, it’s time to break free from guilt, shatter misconceptions, and embrace practical self-care that empowers you to thrive. Enter The Cancer Caregiver Podcast, your go-to resource that simplifies self-preservation into actionable, 15-minute strategies. The Cancer Caregiver Podcast delivers short, impactful episodes that focus on one practical self-care technique at a time. From mindfulness and breathing exercises to navigating difficult emotions, we cover strategies that fit seamlessly into your busy life. Hosted by Charlotte, a fellow cancer caregiver, yoga and meditation teacher, this podcast is your supportive sanctuary for reclaiming your time and joy. Charlotte has walked the difficult path of cancer caregiving for over a decade. With firsthand experience of the relentless demands and emotional toll, she knows the battle caregivers face in trying to care for themselves. Charlotte’s background in yoga and meditation uniquely equips her to provide caregivers with tangible, no-nonsense self-care tools, making her the ideal guide for this journey. Life is short. Cancer sucks. But you deserve to live joyfully. Join us on The Cancer Caregiver Podcast and reclaim the space you need to care strong—for yourself and your loved one.

Excellent Podcast on Male Breast Cancer
I was one of the men interviewed by Charlotte and Paul Kidwell. This was my first interview on cancer and Charlotte’s questions helped to unravel what dark side of cancer and how challenging it is as a caregiver, or being a caregiver to yourself. What helped listeners, my emotional response to Charlotte’s questions and feeling a connection to my experience. Thank again Charlotte for helping to share emotions.

Charlotte says what I have been unable to express during my caregiving burn out and stress-filled days. The last several weeks I’ve listened to every 2025 episode. The first two episodes made me cry. I knew immediately she knows of what she speaks. For all these years of caregiving, I’ve stifled my emotions to be strong to all I know. Thank you Charlotte for who you are, your heart, and for your eloquence.

A must listen
I stumbled across this podcast series when looking for caregiver info. The last time I was in this situation there was very little around. I love Charlotte’s honesty and practical advice. It’s not preachy and there is something for everyone. Shared it with my mum (who rarely listens to podcasts) and she said she felt her feelings were validated. Keep up the great work!

Working Caregivers
If you are, or know, a working caregiver please take the time to listen to this episode. Charlotte so accurately describes the struggles of working caregivers and makes you feel that you are not alone. She gives her honest recommendations on how to ease the balance of responsibility in the two worlds you are trying your best to navigate. Everyone deserves some grace while navigating work and caregiving, Charlotte certainly reinforces this feeling.
