At some stage in life, most people will be charged with caring for someone else. During a health crisis, caregivers, especially those with children, face intense demands on time and personal resources. If you are tasked with a caregiving role, prioritizing self-care is vital for your well-being and ability to provide care. If someone you love is a caregiver there are simple ways to support their journey including offering practical help and emotional understanding.

To better understand self-support amidst selflessness, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen interviews caregiver and author Sarah Cart.

Sarah Cart shares the intimate details of her caregiving journey. Her book, On My Way Back to You: One Couple’s Journey Through Catastrophic Illness to Healing and Hope, is a chronicle of the profound impact of illness on a relationship, resilience, and how she kept herself healthy during her family’s health crisis.
