  • Heaven Island Awaits: Caregiver Peace Starts Here - Rick Henkin

    Heaven Island Awaits: Caregiver Peace Starts Here - Rick Henkin
    Jun 18 2025
    Caregiver Mastery is your guide to peace of mind. Created by a spousal caregiver who’s been there, this show helps family caregivers eliminate the stress, anger, guilt, and resentment that come with caregiving—so you can care for your loved one without losing yourself. When RICK HENKIN’S wife, Sonia, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in January 2020 at the age of 65, everything changed. He quickly realized that the burden of caregiving could shorten his own life if he wasn’t careful. So, Rick committed to working deeply on himself—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. After a long inner journey, He finally reached what he calls my “Heaven Island”—a state of peace, acceptance, and clarity where he could care for Sonia without losing himself. That transformation inspired him to create Caregiver Mastery, a course designed to help other family caregivers find their own Heaven Island—free from stress, guilt, anger, and resentment.
