“Take five minutes for yourself” can feel insulting when your life doesn’t pause.

In this episode, we give five minutes a new job, not to fix you or restore you completely, but to help you remember that you exist.

You’ll learn the simple but powerful framework of Notice, Name, Nourish, and how to use it anywhere: bathrooms, hallways, cars, waiting rooms, hospital corridors.

We talk honestly about why caregivers struggle to stop, what happens when needs go unacknowledged, and how tiny moments of care can prevent emotional collapse.

This episode is for caregivers who feel like they’re running on empty, who believe that small pauses don’t matter and who are ready to discover that five minutes can be enough to change how the rest of the day feels.
