Show Notes: Camille Block

Family Series: “Hope for Secondhand Suffering”

Intro:

We begin our Family Series with an episode dedicated to all of the amazing siblings out there. If you are a sibling of someone with special needs we want you to know that we see you and we celebrate you. Siblings often miss out on allot in life and yet siblings also often become some of the most empathetic and caring people we know.

On this episode our guest Camille Block: sibling, career coach, and author of “Hope for Secondhand Suffering™ – Tools for the Heart When You Can’t Fix Your Loved One’s Pain” speaks with us on what it is like to be a sibling. As conservator, advocate and “voice” for her beloved brother Kevin who lives with cerebral palsy quadriplegia, Camille felt called to write this new book to help give a voice to silent sufferers and connect people to their purpose.

Let’s listen in to our conversation

Bio:

Camille Block is an author and career coach and serves as conservator, advocate and “voice” for her beloved brother Kevin who lives with cerebral palsy quadriplegia. After earning a degree in Social Science from Pepperdine University, she set out on a lifelong pursuit of emotional and spiritual wholeness, driven by an empathetic heartache for her brother and a restlessness for answers that extend beyond shallow cliches. Her passion is to have her new book, Hope for Secondhand Suffering™ – Tools for the Heart When You Can’t Fix Your Loved One’s Pain - help give a voice to silent sufferers and connect people to their purpose. As empty nesters with three adult children, Camille and her husband live in Southern California, just across the hills from Malibu. She enjoys sipping frothy lattes in a real mug, engaging in deep talks with friends, walking on the beach in the sunshine, and playing a variety of games with her family when her kids visit. She and her husband are also exploring some new hobbies such as beekeeping and gardening. Her book is available wherever books are sold, worldwide.
