The Non-Family Cargiver with Martha McPhee

Dr. Evelyn Johnson-Taylor joins host Ron Aaron and co-host Carol Zernail to talk about life after caregiving on this edition of Caregiver SOS.

About Dr. Evelyn Johnson-Taylor

Dr. Evelyn Johnson-Taylor, Ph.D., RN, is a lifelong caregiver and advocate for those who

support loved ones through illness and aging. She began her caregiving journey in the early

1990s when she left her ICU nursing career in Washington, D.C., to care for her father. Years

later, she walked the path again, serving as her late husband’s caregiver for ten years (2008–

2018). These experiences, combined with her background as a registered nurse, shaped her deep

compassion for caregivers and fueled her mission to provide them with hope, resources, and

encouragement.

Evelyn holds an Associate Degree in Nursing, a B.A. in Women’s Studies, and both a Master’s

and Ph.D. in Ministry. She is the award-winning author of See Me, Hear Me, Know Me: From

the Heart of a Caregiver and In & Out of Season: Thriving in Life’s Transitions. Through her

books, speaking, and coaching, she equips caregivers to embrace self-care while navigating the

physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges of caregiving.

In addition to her writing and teaching, Evelyn serves as Chair of the Advisory Council for a

local nonprofit supporting seniors and caregivers, ensuring their voices are heard and their

needs met. She has been featured on media outlets such as HomeKeepers with Arthelene

Rippy and Atlanta Live, and numerous podcasts, bringing greater visibility to the caregiver

journey.

Above all, Evelyn continues to champion the message that caregivers are not alone—and that

their work, though often unseen, is sacred and life-changing.
