When Roles Shift: Creating Sustainable Caregiving for Aging Family
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It can be a disorienting moment when you realize the roles have shifted—when you’re no longer just the child, but also the caregiver to your aging family. Sometimes it happens gradually, other times suddenly, but it always brings with it new challenges and questions.
In this informative episode, we’re joined by Dr. Karen Schuder—speaker, best-selling author, and expert in resilience and sustainable caring. With advanced degrees in education, divinity, and management, Karen brings decades of experience supporting caregivers through empowering resources that are practical, life-changing strategies for finding balance, sustaining purpose, and thriving in personal or professional helping roles.
Whether you’re a caregiver, educator, health professional, leader, or someone who simply gives a lot to others—this episode will show you how to care for yourself while making a meaningful impact in the world.
We talk about:
- Why burnout is so common in helping professions—and how to prevent it
- How to build a culture of resilience and positivity
- Practical ways to balance giving with receiving
- The importance of inner peace in sustainable service
- Highlights from her book Resilient and Sustainable Caring
