EP 94 | Suzanne Horton: Healing the Caregiver
What happens when personal loss becomes a lifelong mission to serve others?In this episode of the PASSIONEER Podcast, Dr. Angela welcomes Suzanne Horton, licensed mental health therapist and founder of the CareGivers Grief Commission, for a heartfelt conversation about leadership, purpose, and the often unseen journey of family caregivers. Inspired by caring for her father during the final years of his life, Suzanne transformed her own experience of grief into a mission to support caregivers who frequently put their own emotional and mental well-being last. Together, she and Dr. Angela explore the realities of caregiving, the gaps in support systems, and the importance of creating spaces where caregivers are seen, heard, and equipped to thrive. They also discuss how faith, resilience, and servant leadership can emerge through life's most challenging seasons, and why caring for yourself is not a luxury, but a necessity when caring for others. Whether you are a caregiver, a leader, or someone walking alongside a loved one through illness or loss, this conversation offers encouragement, wisdom, and hope.
