The Inspired Caregiver: Finding Joy While Caring for Those You Love (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781482329599)

Peggi Speers has a passionate desire to convey the truths and techniques she learned during her journey as a caregiver. While caregiving for loved ones with cancer, kidney failure, stroke, and dementia, she experienced both the benefits of self-care and the trials of self-neglect.

As cofounder of Patient's Pride, Inc., a company that specializes in custom catheter support systems, which protect the health and comfort of clients with peritoneal dialysis catheters, insulin pumps, and feeding tubes, Peggi has always reached beyond phone lines and emails to encourage clients contending with medical needs, as well as those devoted to caring for them. After speaking with thousands of caregivers throughout the United States and Canada, she decided to co-create a comforting, empowering book that she wished had been available during her own journey.

Music is another outlet of creative expression. Peggi Speers has co-written numerous songs featured on television programs such as MTV-Making the Band, Women of Desperate Housewives, Sex and the City, Chicken Soup for the Soul, Fox Sports, The Maury Povich Show, The Young and the Restless, Access Hollywood, Guiding Light, Comcast Sports, Another World, and many others.
