Diving into the world of caregiving with Yarona Boster, I unpack how mastering verbal and nonverbal communication transforms our interactions and impacts those we care for. Yarona highlights the often overlooked aspect of emotional contagion, where our moods and attitudes can subconsciously affect others, especially in sensitive caregiving settings. This understanding is crucial; it reminds us that our presence and how we express ourselves can either bridge or build walls between us and our loved ones. For any caregiver, recognizing the power of nonverbal cues and the emotional undercurrents they carry can profoundly change the caregiving experience, making it more genuine and supportive for everyone involved.About Our Guest:Yarona Boster is a Communications Master, Advanced Certified Life Coach, Certified Speaker Coach, International Speaker, TEDx Speaker, and 2x bestselling international author.  Using her 17+ years of experience in human development, early childhood, psychology, and coaching, Yarona guides people in harnessing the art of communication by learning the behavioral skills needed to modify their verbal and non-verbal language.   From CEOs to parents, from intimate relationships to world stages, when we learn these skills, we become our own best asset in our personal and professional lives. Connect with Yarona: yaronaboster@gmail.com (Speaker Coaching/Communications Mastery)yarona@footprintscoaching.org (Parent and Loss Coaching)  https://yaronaboster.com https://footprintscoaching.org About Me:I have cared for many family members across the life span, experiencing the joys and challenges of child-rearing, the poignance of caring for parents, friends, and elder partners. I realized that I could not handle the stress of family caregiving 24/7/365. It was time for a new approach to caring. My health and happiness were slipping away. This is how Think to Thrive for Caregivers evolved. Let your mind meet your heart so you don’t lose track of your life.Connect with Me:https://www.deborahgreenhut.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborahgreenhut01/Find my books hereThanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!
