I have a new challenge for you.

I want you to get out of your comfort zone; do something different.

It will energize you. It will make you a better caregiver. It may even inspire others who you have never met.

My guest on this podcast of Toula’s Tips for Caregivers is a great role model for you. Lynette Hipsher is Ms. Senior DIVA 2019. Although she had never even thought about being in a pageant before, she challenged herself. Now she has found that she is encouraging and influencing others, and gaining more confidence in herself.

Lynette is also a caregiver, specializing in Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. That has been her platform as Ms. Senior DIVA for the past year. As Ms. Senior DIVA, Lynette has been an advocate for the State of Florida for Alzheimer’s and dementia causes.

Lynette is a Certified Nursing Assistant. She started by caring for her grandparents. For 15 years, Lynette owned and operated her own private in-home daycare business. Now she is a private professional caregiver, specializing with Alzheimer's and dementia patients.

As her one-year term ends, Lynette asks YOU to compete to be the next Ms. Senior DIVA in Jacksonville. She believes in you. And, she wants you to experience the joys of growing bolder, learning more and continuing to flourish.

The Ms. Senior DIVA Pageant is open to all women ages 50 to 59. For women 60 or better, you can compete for the Ms. Senior Jacksonville title.

One way to be a better caregiver, to take better care of yourself, and to inspire more people, is to have more experiences.

I hope you will accept my challenge. I promise that, if you do, I will have you on my podcast next year.

Blessings

Toula
