In today’s episode, we’re kicking off the season by building something every caregiver needs but rarely talks about: a rhythm that actually supports you.

Caregiving is unpredictable — your days can shift in an instant. But having a gentle rhythm can give you grounding, stability, and pockets of peace in the middle of the chaos. A rhythm won’t make caregiving perfect… but it will make caregiving easier.

Inside this episode, I walk you through my simple, flexible ANCHOR Method for creating a rhythm that fits your real life:

A — Ask about your energy
Start with your natural flow, not your to-do list.

N — Name your non-negotiables
Identify what must happen each day so you can build around it.

C — Choose your anchor habits
Small grounding rituals — morning, midday, evening — that steady you.

H — Hold it loosely
Your rhythm should support flexibility, not perfection.

O — Organize it visually
Make your rhythm easy to remember with simple visual cues.

R — Review & reset weekly
Your rhythm evolves as your caregiving evolves.

You’ll also hear a personal story of how rhythm helped me survive one of my hardest caregiving seasons — and how tiny habits became my lifeline.

Whether you’re craving more ease in your mornings, more calm in your evenings, or just a little breathing room in your day… this episode will help you start creating a rhythm that works for you, not against you.
