Caregiving brings love, patience, and purpose; however it brings quite a bit of burnout.  In this episode of the Empowered Caregiver podcast, ValerieB talks openly about the hidden emotion of burnout that caregivers experience on a regular basis.  

In this episode ValerieB will: 
* Explain the sources of burnout. 
* Share seven (7) signs of burnout. 
* Help you name it honestly and not minimize it. 
*Re-introduce yourself to yourself. 

The Empowered Caregiver podcast is a safe space for caregivers to find peace, calm, wisdom, encouragement, practical tools, and honest conversations about the realities of caring for an aging loved one. 

This episode is a continuation of my caregiver story, however the focus today is caring for my dad who lived with Alzheimer’s and Vascular Dementia.  

I will share my journey of caring for my mother and tell you how it all began. 

Today’s episode is to launch the podcast and welcome all caregivers.  In this episode I share how this podcast will help and support caregivers who are caring for aging loved ones.  I will give you a taste of future episodes that will provide resets, discuss how to address burnout, teach you how to ask for help, detox guilt, and provide some practical tools that caregivers can use on a daily basis to assist with caregiving.
