To feel empowered on the caregiving journey, we first need to understand what stands in our way.
In this episode, I dive into five common ways caregiving can leave us feeling disempowered, drained, and disconnected from ourselves. I start by defining disempowerment as that cycle of doubt, where nothing we do seems to make a difference. This is a familiar experience for caregivers, who often lose sight of their own needs while managing endless demands.
I then break down the factors that contribute to this cycle. First is a lack of clarity—without self-awareness, caregiving becomes like driving in thick fog, reacting to everything without direction. I explore the emotional toll of clinging to things we can’t control, like trying to influence a partner’s mood or health outcomes. I discuss the harm in judging our natural emotions, which only adds to guilt and exhaustion. And I cover two other common traps—neglecting our needs and failing to set boundaries—that can quickly lead to burnout.
If you're in the thick of caregiving, this episode is packed with insights to help you reconnect with your purpose. Don't miss it!
