Her professional role put her right on the frontline, and unexpectedly, she also had to face personal challenges related to the pandemic. Her story gives a clear picture of how she navigated through these difficult times, learning to trust her instincts.

Carla, from Florida, not only worked in one of the areas hardest hit by COVID-19 but also contracted the virus herself. She supported her husband through his fight with the disease as well. Her professional background naturally led her to caregiving roles, but she soon realized that these responsibilities could take a toll on her mental health. Carla's unique experiences offer valuable insights for those struggling with mental health while caring for others during this pandemic.

In this episode, you’ll have an opportunity to:

  • Understand the complexities of caregiving during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Learn about the unseen mental health impacts of caregiving responsibilities, backed by real-life experiences.
  • Understand the importance of self-care and how caregivers can set boundaries.
  • Appreciate the personal growth that can come from the caregiving journey, often seen as a thankless task.

Carla's story is both insightful and relatable, shedding light on the often-overlooked aspects of caregiving during a health crisis.
