Island Treasures
Island Treasures began as a platform for caregivers with its guests sharing their stories to encourage, provide insights, and resources to support those in the midst of caregiving. With over 100 heartfelt episodes, it reminded caregivers they were not alone, as it uplifted voices of wisdom, empowerment, and compassion. In October 2025 Island Treasures enters a new chapter.
This relaunched season explores life after caregiving—the transitions, transformations, and moments that follow with former caregivers sharing how they have transitioned into their next chapter.
In addition to these heartfelt episodes addressing life after caregiving, from time to time we will celebrate the treasures of Vancouver Island with an episode highlighting a place or experience unique to Vancouver Island—after all that’s where the podcast calls home.
Whether you’re just beginning to rediscover life beyond caregiving or caregiving is part of your distant past, Island Treasures offers stories that we trust will resonate with you and inspire you as you move forward after caregiving. Or if you’re curious about Vancouver Island and want to hear more about the people and places that make it special, we’re delighted to have you join us for those episodes as well.
Please note: the original episodes remain available and provide a rich archive of support for caregivers. This new season simply expands the journey.

Island Treasures Visits a Caregiving Treasure in Ireland
In this episode you will hear how all about Breeda Miller's play, "Mrs. Kelly's Journey Home" and how Breeda was able to take the play to Ireland.
Breeda had been a guest on the Island Treasures podcast in Season 3, on Episode 20; where she talked about her play and the tour that was planned for the Fall of 2023 in Ireland. This episode talks about the fruition of the tour and what it was like to perform the play in Ireland!
This episode consists of two parts, just like Breeda's play. The first 'act' was recorded in Ireland shortly after the Irish debut of her play. The second 'act' was recorded back home in North America. This entire episode is also available in video format.
You'll hear about how Breeda's play is sweeping the nation and now is international! You will also hear about the tour of Ireland; and if you'd like to join Breeda on her next tour of Ireland - she shares more about that opportunity in the episode.
Breeda's experience as a caregiver has led to the development of some outstanding resources for caregivers and for more information about these resources, or about her play, or to engage her as a keynote speaker - you can visit her website Breedamiller.com
