The other day, I posted a 15-second clip on TikTok that went viral. Some people were so thankful for my quick thoughts, and others said I was a really big jerk!
What was all the fuss about? Sometimes, what we think of as caregiving is really enabling behavior.
In this week's episode, we explore the fine line between supporting and caring for our loved ones without detriment to ourselves or shirking our caregiving responsibilities.
And I’ll be giving more context to explain the difference between healthy acts of care and those that can potentially be enabling and harmful to our loved ones and us.Let’s dive into how we can support our loved ones in ways that empower them rather than undermine their independence and well-being.

In this interview with Erin Antroinen, we break down the root cause of our burnout and how to tap into our inner ability to regulate our nervous system. While we cannot always change our circumstances, we can change our body's response to our circumstances.
Hear Erin's unique caregiving journey.
How she experienced burnout and recovered from it.
Learn how your nervous system communicates with you so that you can understand the signs of burnout before you are completely depleted.

This interview changed my life. I am still in awe of my encounter with Kathleen Donnelly Israel, a caregiver, spiritual seeker, healer, and pilgrim on the Camino Santiago.
Her caregiving journey led her to her deep study, knowledge of spiritual healing practices, and her quest to walk the Camino, sharing her story and holding space for others to share theirs.
My time speaking with her was enlightening, encouraging, and healing and I know it will be for you too!
If you are uncertain of who you are outside of caregiving or wondering what life beyond caregiving could be (and perhaps feel guilty about thinking of that), I invite you to listen to this interview with Kathleen.
And then buy her book Wisdom on the Camino; I am reading it now, and it is like walking with her!

My guest, Rebecca Sugar, became the family caregiver for her ailing father, as well as her elderly family friend and childhood nanny as she neared the end of her life.
Rebecca learned how to be a family caregiver on the job, taking responsibility for her elderly father through multiple spinal cord surgeries at the age of 79. It was an emotional rollercoaster, and she hopes that her personal experience and insight with a spiritual undertone will resonate with those who can relate.

Self-awareness and connectedness with self is key for creating sustainable self-care practices, but what if you've been turning down your intuitive voice for so long that you cannot hear it?
What if when you do connect with your inner feelings, you feel re-traumatized or depressed, or even scared?
Today's guest, Angela Turke, LMHC, CRC joins us again on the podcast to talk about why therapy might be an appropriate self-care choice for some overwhelmed caregivers.
*please note: I am not a therapist, just a person sharing my personal and life-long journey as a caregiver, self-care coach and advocate for caregivers, especially those in recovery. I share my experience and insights in hopes they will inspire other caregivers to give themselves the same compassionate care they give their loved ones.

The first step to taking better care of yourself is learning to listen to yourself.
It sounds simple, but it can be difficult for people, like us, who are used to listening to what everyone else needs. It's easier to turn down what our bodies and minds are telling us because we don't have the time or energy to "deal" with all of our needs too.
So how can we learn to listen to ourselves again? In this week's episode, we talk about self-awareness, intuition, and why it matters for sustainable self-care.
