S1 E6 | Running on Empty: The Science of Caregiver Capacity

We have been asking caregivers to stay regulated, to co-regulate, to repair, to notice, to show up. Today Sandy and Jess stop and ask: what makes that possible? When a caregiver is running on empty, co-regulation isn’t just hard — it is emotionally and physically impossible. This episode reframes self-care as science, not self-help, and gives caregivers something real to work with.
