Most of us will be caring for someone at some point in our lives, whether part time or full time. It may be caring for an ill spouse, an elderly parent, or a child with a disability. As we're caring for others, we must prioritize our own health and well-being to avoid chronic stress and burnout. We're so excited to have Carolyn Dowdy from Caregiver Mental Wellness join us in studio for this episode about taking care of yourself as a caregiver!

Carolyn is a speaker and workshop leader who launched the non-profit organization Caregiver Mental Wellness out of her personal experience as a caregiver. She found herself facing signs of chronic stress and felt called to create resources for others to avoid burnout.

Most of the time we focus on "what" and "how" without thinking about the underlying "why". Listen to this episode with a spirit of curiosity: think about WHY you might fall into the same bad habits over and over? WHY do you pursue the goals you've committed to?
