The Heart of the Caregiver - Mary Tutterow | Faithly Stories

Join us on today’s episode of Faithly Stories as host Alicia Lee sits down with Mary Tutterow, author of The Heart of the Caregiver and The Peaceful Caregiver, whose personal journey through caregiving has touched thousands of lives. From leaving a high-powered media career to care for her daughter with special needs and later her mother-in-law with dementia, Mary’s story is a deeply moving portrait of surrender and strength through spiritual transformation.

Mary opens up about the emotional toll of caregiving, the healing of strained relationships, and the path to discovering identity and purpose through Christ. Her experience led to the founding of Healing Farms, a community for young adults with disabilities transitioning out of high school, furthering her mission to bring dignity and connection to those often left in isolation.

We’ll also explore how The Heart of the Caregiver has become a lifeline for churches and ministries looking to support caregivers in their congregation as Mary shares how the church can offer practical discipleship tools and safe spaces for people navigating caregiving, grief, addiction, and a myriad of other hidden struggles.
