Maybe I Can with Debbie Weiss

Send us a text

In this episode of the Maybe I Can podcast, I sit down with Savina “Savy” Makalena, a lifetime caregiver and powerhouse advocate for those on caregiving journeys. As CEO and founder of Gimme A Break, host of the Caring Caregiver Show, and publisher of Givers Guides Magazine, Savy combines her business acumen with a deep personal commitment to supporting caregivers. Having cared for her father, her mother with advanced dementia, and now standing by her spouse in their battle with cancer, Savy shares heartfelt advice and encouragement for caregivers facing difficult times. Our conversation dives into the resilience needed to balance caregiving with self-care, the importance of community, and finding strength in the hardest moments. Savy’s wisdom and empathy shine through, offering both comfort and inspiration for anyone on the caregiving path.
