The Cancer Caregiver

The Physical Signs of Caregiver Stress You Might Be Ignoring


Listen Later

When you’re caregiving, your mind is focused on tasks, timelines, and to-dos. But your body is paying attention to what you’re not saying out loud.

In this episode, Charlotte explores how the physical body holds stress, tension, and emotional weight long before we consciously recognize it.

If your shoulders are constantly tight, your breath is shallow, or your patience is wearing thin, this isn’t weakness; it’s your nervous system asking for help.

You’ll learn how chronic caregiving stress impacts your biology, why burnout doesn’t always announce itself, and how to start noticing the small signals your body is sending before they become a scream.

With a calming guided practice and real-world insight, this episode offers more than information—it gives you permission to reconnect with yourself through quiet, consistent attention.
