In this episode of Dance of Communication, we explore capacity as a form of boundary. Caring for aging parents often pushes us beyond what we can realistically carry, leading to burnout, resentment, and strained relationships. This conversation helps caregivers identify their emotional, physical, and time capacity, communicate limits with clarity and compassion, and release guilt around doing “everything.” Honoring capacity isn’t giving up—it’s creating sustainable care that protects both the caregiver and the relationship.
