#148 When You Realize You’ve Resigned to Caregiving — And How to Change It
Have you started saying no to life without even realizing it?
You might be living in quiet resignation — a natural, but heartbreaking, place many stroke carepartners find themselves after months or years of survival.
In this episode, Genevieve shares how resignation quietly creeps into the lives of carepartners after stroke and aphasia — often unnoticed, disguised as “being realistic” or “doing what has to be done.”
Through real-world examples and emotional insights, Genevieve helps listeners recognize the signs of silent resignation, understand why it happens, and most importantly, offers a compassionate path forward.
You'll discover why saying "no" to your own dreams doesn’t have to be your final story — and how even the tiniest "yes" back to yourself can start rebuilding a life filled with purpose, connection, and hope.
What you'll hear inside:
Ready to take a closer look in the mirror?
Most caregivers struggle to see how far they've drifted — until it's too late.
Discover the real-life story of two caregivers, two different outcomes, and what it might mean for your path forward.
