113. Kate Washington, Caring For Yourself While Caregiving For Your Loved One


Listen Later

Almost all of us will assume a caregiving role for a close loved one at some point in our lives. When is the correct time to start mentally preparing? Do you think you'd feel comfortable administering treatments that deeply affect your loved one's quality of life? How do these people balance caregiving and their careers? Kate Washington, author of Already Toast: Caregiving and Burnout in America provides insight into the world of caregiving. Kate details her experience as a caregiver to her ill (former) husband, and explains the sheer number of caregivers in the United States; how to introduce systemic policies to benefit these overworked, often struggling people; and to offer advice to those who have already experienced burnout.
