The joy of now: A caregiver's tale | Phyllis Peters | TEDxFlourCity

Caregiving can at times take over every part of your life. Phyllis shares her experience caregiving for the five members in her family's older generation.

Phyllis Peters is an author and educator who has variously embodied the spirit of musician, waitress, filmmaker, rape crisis advocate, wanderer, and ingrate. Her latest novel, "Untethered: A Caregiver’s Tale" is a fictionalized, comedic take on her family’s experience with caregiving in the 'sandwich generation'. 100% of the profit from its sale is being donated to Alzheimer’s research via the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health.
