EP. 39 - I'm Part of the Story with Allison Breininger
Thu Jun 19 2025
Today I'm visited by Allison Breininger, founder of The Negative Space. Allison became a caregiver when her husband was diagnosed with Fanconi Anemia in 2011. She founded the nonprofit, The Negative Space, to change the way caregivers are seen and supported. She cohosts the podcast, In Sickness, provides individual coaching, and facilitates groups and education sessions.
On today's episode, she shares both the emotional and physical challenges that come along with being a caregiver. She talks about the tools she learned to regulate her nervous system. And how The Negative Space was created to open a space for other caregivers to feel seen in their own personal challenges, helping them remember that they are part of the story, too. Thanks for joining us. Come on in.
