Caregiving is an opportunity to give back to those people in our inner circle who have given so much love, attention and effort into making us the people we are today. But caregiving can also suck the oxygen out of our bodies, mental well-being and souls.
Ever been a caregiver? Or know you will be someday soon? Or watched a friend or family member struggle through?
How do we find balance? Manage other’s expectations while keeping in mind our own needs? Prevent guilt and regret from washing over us? And keep positive, energized and engaged?
These are tough questions and a tough topic. And I’ll be tackling them Wednesday morning, August 7, as a guest on the radio show The Conscious Caregiver with host Carol-Ann Hamilton. We’ll be chatting about attitudes and mindsets, practical strategies and approaches and what I’ve learned about myself as a result of my care taking experiences.

It’s not just about PRESERVING YOUR BLOOM. In this case it’s also about PRESERVING YOUR SANITY!
