Kim Marxhausen shares invaluable insights on caring for caregivers, drawing from her personal experience with in-laws who had dementia and her professional background in educational psychology. She explores how brain science, emotional intelligence, and faith-based practices create sustainable patterns for those supporting others through illness or aging.

• Understanding primary vs secondary emotions helps caregivers respond appropriately in stressful situations
• The "superhero syndrome" can trap caregivers in feeling solely responsible for outcomes
• Jesus modeled self-care through retreating for prayer, accepting care from others, and even napping
• Morning routines that include spiritual practices create a foundation for resilience
• Research confirms Bible reading four or more times weekly significantly improves mental health
• The framework "feed your faith, find your fellowship" provides practical wisdom for caregiver wellness
• Reorienting your thinking from being the superhero to doing the small tasks before you relieves pressure
• Looking for people who want to help relieves the burden of trying to do everything alone
