When you’re the one everyone leans on, it’s easy to slowly disappear from your own priority list.

In Episode 162 of the Feel Light Mind & Body Podcast, I sit down with Registered Nurse, Caregiving Consultant, and Care Navigator Karen Lake for an honest conversation about caregiving, burnout, emotional overload, and the pressure so many women quietly carry.

We talk about:
• caregiver burnout and chronic stress
• decision fatigue and mental overload
• resentment, guilt, and family dynamics
• hypervigilance and nervous system exhaustion
• boundaries and asking for help
• practical ways to nurture yourself without adding more pressure

Karen also shares what she’s learned from years of supporting caregivers and families through dementia, illness, and major life transitions.

Everyone will benefit from this episode because we’ve either been through it, going through it, or know someone who is experiencing the overwhelm (and often isolated feeling). 

And if you’ve been stuck in overthinking, indecision, or procrastination, my Out of the Miserable Maybe Workshop is happening May 30th in Fredericton, NB and online through Zoom.
