Sara Chalice
Sara Challice is the award-winning author of the book ‘Who Cares? – How to Care for Yourself Whilst Caring for a Loved One’. She is also a motivational speaker and coach improving the lives of those caring for loved ones. Having appeared on TV and radio, she regularly gives talks to local and national charities, and businesses supporting unpaid carers in the workplace.
After her husband fell ill will a brain tumour, Sara gave up her career as a graphic designer for a large investment company to care for him full-time. Following a stroke, he became bed-bound and needed full-time nursing care; due to the pressure, Sara became both mentally and physically unwell. She then found new strategies to regain her health and enjoy life again, even whilst caring for a terminally ill husband.
Sara gives talks for professionals supporting carers, and insight and strategies to carers on how they can improve their resilience and boost their health and wellbeing – which is not only good for themselves but also those around them.
Having been a trustee for five years for a neurological charity based in Twickenham, she regularly gives her ’Wisdom to Empower’ sessions, which remain one of the largest online crowd-pullers for Carers UK.
‘Life is not about abstaining and enduring, it is still about enjoying your life, especially if you are a carer.’
