How do we create time to care for ourselves while we are juggling all of our caregiving responsibilities?

 

Today, my guest is Elizabeth Miller, founder of Happy Healthy Caregiver. Elizabeth created a place to feel supported as a caregiver when you feel isolated or overwhelmed by all of your responsibilities. Elizabeth's caregiver responsibilities were elevated when she cared for her mom and dad with chronic comorbidities. Feeling stressed and overwhelmed she decided to learn more about caregiving and how to implement self-care strategies to care for herself. Finding success by adopting and prioritizing self-care, she is sharing her tools with us.

 

This community of support offers resources for family caregivers, sharing helpful information and partners with businesses to make change in supporting caregivers. Elizabeth is also the host of the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast which celebrates and shares caregivers' stories.

 

 

Elizabeth shares about:

• Her experience caring for aging parents with chronic and terminal illnesses and for a sibling with developmental disabilities
• The signs of caregiver burnout and what to look for
• How we grow in the practice of caring for ourselves while managing all of our caregiver responsibilities
• The ways we can prioritize self-care
• How we can implement practical self-care modalities into our day
• What we can say when we are setting boundaries for ourselves
• How we can get over the guilt by putting ourselves first
• The important work that Elizabeth is doing through her podcast, consulting, speaking, and support for the caregiver community
