Episode 2: The Atmosphere You CarryIn this episode of The Caregiver’s Inner Wealth series, Dr. Lori invites caregivers to pause and consider the emotional, mental, and spiritual weight they carry into each day. Caregiving often fills the room before we do — with worry, responsibility, love, guilt, exhaustion, and unanswered questions.This episode reminds caregivers that while a positive attitude does not fix everything, the atmosphere they carry matters.Dr. Lori offers a gentle reflection on the power of words, thoughts, expectations, and support, encouraging caregivers to recognize what was never meant to rest only on their shoulders.Listeners are invited to take one simple caregiver action: before entering the next caregiving moment, pause and say, “I can be present without losing myself.”The Purple Chair is available as a podcast on multiple platforms and is coming soon to YouTube. Thank you for joining me on The Purple Chair with Dr. Lori.
