04: Admitting I am a Caregiver

In this episode of Lewy Body and Mindful Caregiving, I embark on a journey of personal reflection, breaking down the stark reality of what it means to be a caregiver. Drawing from my personal experiences of caring for my mother, I delve into how I transitioned from seeing myself as 'just her daughter' to identifying as a caregiver. I'll explore the broad spectrum of tasks and responsibilities that fall under this role, prompting you to evaluate your own journey as a caregiver. In addition, I'll provide some crucial self-care advice, encouraging caregivers to nourish their own well-being in order to sustain their support for others. It's a heartfelt, thought-provoking exploration of caregiving that you won't want to miss. Tune in.   _______________________ FIRST TIME HERE? Hey, there!
