When a loved one is sick and caregiving gets exhausting, it can be powerful to have someone give you permission to take a break.

Should you need their permission? Of course not. But the voices in your mind can be critical and bossy and insist that you continue to work or take care of other people until you're completely exhausted, stressed and depleted.

This week we discuss the power of permission when we offer it to other people and also when we offer it to ourselves.

What permission can you offer this week?
