Some exhaustion comes from being needed all the time. Don't you feel that too?

In this deeply personal episode, I talk honestly about what the past two years of caring for my grandpa have taught me about stress, emotional overload, anticipatory grief, burnout, guilt, softness, and love.

Not as an expert. Just as a human being trying to build a life while also watching someone she loves become more fragile.

We talk about:

• the emotional multitasking of caregiving
• feeling “on” all the time
• what happens when your body starts carrying stress physically
• learning to ask for help
• why success started meaning something different to me
• and how the smallest moments can suddenly become everything

If you’ve ever cared for someone…
or if you’re the kind of person who keeps showing up for everyone else while quietly falling apart yourself…

this episode is for you.

And if someone comes to mind while listening:
send this episode to them.
Especially the quiet caretakers.
