Best-Selling Author, Dave Nassaney, is a Caregiving Expert
who Speaks About How to Deal with Burnout, Survive the Grief Process,
and Remain Positive — Even When You Just Want to ‘Quit!’
Dave’s Story:
My name is Dave Nassaney, and I help caregivers to not just survive, but to THRIVE. As a caregiver for more than 23-years, I understand the pain and frustration of caregiving. I teach caregivers who are taking care of their loved ones (due to an illness or disability) how to take care of themselves FIRST.
Why am I so qualified to be “The Caregiver’s Caregiver” you might ask? Well, as I have mentioned, I am (and have been) a caregiver to my beautiful wife, Charlene, since 1996, when she suffered a massive stroke that left her severely speech impaired and paralyzed on the right side.
After a 3-year grieving period, we almost broke up, but we hung in there. She was angry and bitter most of the time, and after I attended a caregiver support group, I learned that I had to put my needs first — like the airlines tell us to put our oxygen mask on first. After doing this, she started becoming her old self again, and our love was rekindled.
I then realized that there were so many other caregivers out there suffering and feeling all alone, I didn’t want them to suffer or give up like I almost did. So, I became Dave, The Caregiver’s Caregiver.
I now host a popular syndicated radio show heard in all 50 states and 135 countries. I am a best-selling author, currently writing my 4th book. I have spoken on the same stage with Suzanne Somers at Harvard, and Martha Stewart at Carnegie Hall. During my current national book & media tour, I have appeared on 34 network TV shows from Hawaii to Washington, DC, as well as speaking at the, Nasdaq Market Site, The New York City Bar, Coca Cola, Mercedes Benz,, the Harvard Clubs of Boston and New York, a Ted Talk, and West Point, sharing my message to caregivers, “How To Prevent Your Loved One’s Illness or Disease (or even the Corona Virus) From Killing You.”

How we help caregivers:
- We help them to see, logically and emotionally, that if they don’t put their needs above their loved ones, they will both suffer.
- We also help them to see that when they are in a negative, complaining mode, the solutions to their problems are hidden from their creative self
- We show them why they need to surround themselves with positive, healthy people who will challenge and help them to be positive, and brainstorm solutions to their needs and problems.
- Many caregivers KNOW they are burned out, but they don’t know what to do about it or where to find help.
- Because I was where they are. I know what they are thinking and how they are feeling. I too was burned out. I too felt like giving up. I too, isolated myself. Yet I learned the hard way how to not only survive caregiving, but to THRIVE, and I want to show them how they can also.
- Popular Misconceptions: That caregivers have no time to take care of themselves, and nothing they try will work for them. That their lives are hopeless, and that “this” will NEVER end!
- Caregivers often seem to have enough time and energy to complain (and that does take a lot of time and energy). They don’t think that they are worth spending money on themselves because they feel they don’t deserve it. They will do everything for others, but NOTHING for themselves. Many are plagued with low self-worth and have a low self-image. They often have a cheapskate mentality, pinching pennies, throwing away dollars vegging in front of the TV while their loved one sleeps, instead of planning that new business, or calling a friend for dinner and a movie, etc. Now, not every caregiver does this, but most of them waste time as a result of having a negative mindset. My book, “It’s My Life, Too!” addresses ALL these issues.
