S2 Episode 1 | Kristi Horner of Courage to Caregivers
In this powerful Season 2 premiere of Mastering the Numbers, host Joe Mallo sits down with Kristi Horner, founder and executive director of Courage to Caregivers, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting unpaid family caregivers.
Kristi shares her deeply personal journey from caring for her younger brother through mental illness to launching a movement that now serves caregivers across the U.S. Through innovative peer support, group coaching, suicide prevention, and mindfulness programs, Courage to Caregivers is transforming how we approach caregiver well-being.
Together, Kristi and Joe explore why so many people don’t recognize themselves as caregivers, and why that mindset needs to change. They talk about the importance of self-care as an act of strength, not selfishness, and the challenges of launching and growing a nonprofit during a global pandemic. Kristi also reflects on how caregivers can build resilience, set boundaries, and find balance between personal and professional responsibilities. Finally, she shares the organization’s vision for preventing caregiver burnout and creating stronger, healthier communities.
