ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Caring for someone with bladder or bowel incontinence can be a deeply personal responsibility — and one that brings challenges many caregivers never anticipated.
In this episode of Life Without Leaks, we're joined by board-certified physician assistant and Aeroflow Urology medical advisor Aleece Fosnight to talk about the realities of caring for someone living with incontinence. She explores the emotional and financial toll caregiving can take, the difficulty of balancing care with work and family responsibilities, and the importance of preserving dignity and independence along the way.
Aleece also shares practical guidance for managing incontinence at home, from finding the right products and protecting skin health to timed voiding, hydration and seeking support before burnout sets in. Most importantly, she reminds caregivers that asking for help is not a failure and that caring for someone else shouldn't mean losing yourself in the process.
Whether you're caring for an aging parent, a spouse, someone with a disability or another loved one, this conversation offers practical advice, reassurance and resources to help make the caregiving journey a little easier.
