Caring Without Losing Yourself: Incontinence, Caregiving and Dignity

Smiling woman with a stethoscope, wearing a pink sweater, stands beside text about caring for others without losing oneself, embodying the role of a health advocate and promoting the Life Without Leaks podcast.

Caring for someone with bladder or bowel incontinence can be a deeply personal responsibility — and one that brings challenges many caregivers never anticipated.

In this episode of Life Without Leaks, we’re joined by board-certified physician assistant and Aeroflow Urology medical advisor Aleece Fosnight to talk about the realities of caring for someone living with incontinence. She explores the emotional and financial toll caregiving can take, the difficulty of balancing care with work and family responsibilities, and the importance of preserving dignity and independence along the way.

Upcoming webinar titled Managing IBD While Becoming Independent, presented by Dr. Marla Dubinsky on October 27, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. ET, hosted by the National Association for Continence and supported by Johnson & Johnson.
