In this moving episode of Caregiver Conversations, hosts Kristie King and Antonia Harbin-Lamb sit down with two inspiring veteran caregivers — Stephanie Hall, co-founder and program manager of Warriors and Caregivers United (WACU), and Angelina Taylor, a 2021 Elizabeth Dole Foundation Hidden Heroes Fellow. Stephanie and Angelina open up about their deeply personal caregiving journeys — from supporting wounded veterans to advocating for stronger community networks and mental health awareness. Together, they share how their experiences have evolved into advocacy and peer support for other military families navigating the challenges of caregiving, isolation, and resilience. This episode highlights the importance of visibility, self-care, and community among those who care for the people who once served our country.
