Island Treasures
Island Treasures began as a platform for caregivers with its guests sharing their stories to encourage, provide insights, and resources to support those in the midst of caregiving. With over 100 heartfelt episodes, it reminded caregivers they were not alone, as it uplifted voices of wisdom, empowerment, and compassion. In October 2025 Island Treasures enters a new chapter.
This relaunched season explores life after caregiving—the transitions, transformations, and moments that follow with former caregivers sharing how they have transitioned into their next chapter.
In addition to these heartfelt episodes addressing life after caregiving, from time to time we will celebrate the treasures of Vancouver Island with an episode highlighting a place or experience unique to Vancouver Island—after all that’s where the podcast calls home.
Whether you’re just beginning to rediscover life beyond caregiving or caregiving is part of your distant past, Island Treasures offers stories that we trust will resonate with you and inspire you as you move forward after caregiving. Or if you’re curious about Vancouver Island and want to hear more about the people and places that make it special, we’re delighted to have you join us for those episodes as well.
Please note: the original episodes remain available and provide a rich archive of support for caregivers. This new season simply expands the journey.

Island Treasures Mini Podcast: In the Company of Angels
Have you heard a caregiver referred to as an angel?
This mini episode features a clip from the Caregiver Warrior, Susanne White describing how when she's in the company of caregivers she feels the space is sacred. Susanne paints great word pictures and this one certainly conveys the respect, and appreciation she has for caregivers.
We also hear a clip about caregiver warriors! We talk about how the attributes of a warrior also apply to caregivers. Their tenacious spirit and commitment to serve and protect those in their care... just like warriors.
Both caregiver angels and caregiver warriors have strengths and characteristics to be admired. If you are a caregiver this episode may be just what you need to hear to remind you how the work you do is vital. As it is brief, you may wish to check out the full episode called "The Messy Middle of Caregiving" as well as Susanne White's website for more tactical gear for battles you may face in caregiving.
