The question is: how do you show up for them without losing yourself?Real stories: Arlene and Karen share the breaking points that made them realize self-care isn’t selfish—it’s survival.Faith at the center: How prayer, rest, and trusting God helped them trade burnout for renewal.Breaking isolation: Why caregivers need community, and how to move past “superwoman syndrome.”Everyday renewal: From short walks to honest conversations, small acts of soul-care make a big difference.Practical wisdom: The “Be, Know, Do” principles—be present, know your limits, do give and receive grace—paired with the “Three F’s”—find yourself, fill your cup, find community.💡 This episode offers hope and practical faith-filled wisdom for caregivers, but also encouragement for anyone stretched thin in life’s difficult seasons.Send us Fan MailFor more info on IMAGINE YOURSELF,  visit imagineyourselfpodcast.com.
