In this episode, we’re removing the curtain on what caregiving looks like, the real, unfiltered version that most people don’t discuss.

Whether you’ve just stepped into caregiving or been doing it for a while, this one’s for you.

I share stories from my earliest caregiving days when my routines changed completely, sleep disappeared, and I learned what it meant to carry the invisible weight of care.

If you’ve ever wondered why caregiving feels like a full-time job that no one trained you for, this episode will help you feel seen, grounded, and less alone.

✨ Key Takeaways:

* What the day-to-day reality of caregiving actually looks like

* How my routines, relationships, and sense of self changed

* The invisible mental load every caregiver carries

* How I learned to define “success” in caregiving

* Small wins and rhythms that helped me find steadiness again

💡 This episode is for you if…

* You’re stepping into caregiving and want to know what to expect

* You feel stretched thin and unseen in your daily routine

* You’re trying to balance care for others with care for yourself
