Caregiving can train your nervous system to live on high alert, even on a “routine” Tuesday. In this episode of Live Well, Love Strong, Sarah sits down with Keri Aschoff, LPC, a trauma-informed therapist and fellow mom, to talk about what caregiver anxiety and burnout really look like in the body and what actually helps.Keri shares her family’s story of her daughter collapsing at a homecoming dance and later being diagnosed with dysautonomia, including POTS, and how that lived experience reshaped both her motherhood and her professional practice. Together, Sarah and Keri name the patterns so many caregivers carry: chronic anxiety, burnout, the low hum of irritability, and that heavy dread feeling that leaves you both wired and exhausted at the same time.They unpack why anxiety is not a personal failure, how the nervous system can over-calibrate after years in the trenches, and why trying to “do it right” can sometimes make things harder. You’ll hear practical tools you can start today, including the PACE framework (Pause, Assess, Choose, Engage and Empower), the “jellyfish” muscle release technique, slow exhales to calm the stress response, hydration as nervous system support, and simple ways to burn off adrenaline in real life.This episode is honest, practical, and deeply validating for parents and caregivers who feel like their bodies never fully come down. You are not broken. Your nervous system has been protecting you. And it can learn to recalibrate.To connect with Keri or learn more about her counseling services in Texas, visit kindworkscounselor.com.

I had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Lisa Graham-Garza, a remarkable mother and advocate, for my podcast recently. Lisa's journey as a mother to Tyler, an adult son with autism, is nothing short of inspiring. We delved into the complexities of special needs parenting, particularly the constant demands of therapies and the relentless race to “heal.” But, perhaps what struck me most during our conversation was Lisa's perspective on the importance of community.She shared her belief that every parent, especially those raising children with extra needs, needs a village—a network of support, education, and understanding. Reflecting on her own experience, she spoke about how fortunate she was to have had a strong community around her when Tyler was younger. This support was instrumental in her ability to keep going, and it made all the difference in their lives. Lisa stressed that everyone deserves that same level of community and access to resources. It was clear to me that her advocacy work comes from a place of deep empathy, as she genuinely wants every family to have the same opportunities for connection and support.DR. Graham-Garza also shared the story of how she founded Autism Rescue Angels, an organization dedicated to helping families navigate the often overwhelming world of autism. Her tireless effort to support others while maintaining a healthy mindset was awe-inspiring. What stood out even more was her belief that if we want community, we have to build it ourselves. Lisa emphasized that we can't wait for someone else to provide the solutions we need; we have to take action and create the change we seek.Her words resonated deeply with me, and I left the conversation feeling more motivated than ever to contribute to creating stronger, more inclusive communities for families like hers. Her resilience and unwavering commitment to both her family and the broader autism community were truly humbling.Autismrescueangels.org
