All Home Care Matters was honored to welcome the founder of The Caregiver Chronicles, Sarah Stelmach-Brown.
Sarah Stelmach-Brown is a caregiving advocate with a major focus on autism, neurodivergence and Alzheimer’s disease and the host of the podcast, “Caregiver Chronicles” and “Autism Out and About.” She is the mother of two boys on the autism spectrum. Sarah worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant and Certified Medication Technician at assisted living facilities, nursing homes and in-home care before leaving in July of 2021 after experiencing caregiver burnout.
She is raw and passionate as she speaks about her experiences as a caregiver in both personal and professional settings. Sarah is unafraid to tackle serious topics but also uses her wit to bring levity to almost any situation. She uses her podcast to help caregivers from all walks of life connect to others and get their messages out about making the world a better place for those we care for and those who care for us.
About Caregiver Chronicles Podcast:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sarah experienced caregiver burnout. She wanted to share her story to help anyone else who may have been experiencing the same thing. With the help of her husband, Jeremy, the pair of them started “Caregiver Chronicles” in their truck, recording episodes on a cell phone.
“Caregiver Chronicles” has grown, allowing Sarah to connect with other caregivers from all walks of life. What started as a podcast by a single caregiver experiencing burnout has become a way for family caregivers to connect, learn and grow.
The podcast has covered a wide variety of topics, from autism awareness and acceptance to dementia caregiving to education and assistance in applying for services. Sarah is not afraid to discuss any issue that affects caregivers and the people they care for.
