Ep. 65 Caring for Elderly Parents: The Toll It Takes on Your Health & Tips to Help Navigate the Responsibility

A struggle more and more of us are dealing with as we get older is caring for our elderly parents.  Whether it's with part-time or full-time care, many women our age face the added responsibility of physically (and sometimes financially) aiding our parents as their physical and/or mental health declines.  As an online coach and mentor to (more) women put in this situation, I realize the toll it takes on you.  So I've become more informed about that impact, and as a result, I've customized our MRS coaching (even) to help clients navigate this emotional space.  In today's episode, I share some of the challenges of caring for aging (and ill) parents, and I explain the negative impact it can have on your physical and mental health, as well as its affect on your weight loss journey.  I also share some of the strategies I use in coaching women facing these struggles, and I give you practical tips that you can use if you are dealing with this challenge.  My hope is that I can help you better navigate this time in life, so you feel more equipped to handle the varied emotions that come with caregiving and so you also continue to care for yourself during this difficult stage.  Thanks for listening!
