Leading with love, laughter & NY attitude!
In this episode, we dive into what a sole caregiving life looks like, share our dislike for internet trolls, explore what Kris would say to “new to caregiving Kris”, discover where lifewithgrams is headed, and extract the various steps Kris has intentionally taken to elevate her overall mental wellness.
