In this deeply human and practical episode, hosts Erin and Daren sit down with Jenny Lytle, a hospice nurse with over 30 years of experience. Jenny opens up about her personal journey through profound burnout and grief after the sudden loss of her mother, which led her to create "The Becoming Method."

What We Covered:

- Identity & Burnout

- The Body Keeps the Score

- Grief and Trauma

- Practical, No-Cost Strategies

Actionable Strategies:

✅ For Caregivers: Create a personalized "self-care menu" of small, accessible activities that genuinely fill your cup. Don't wait for burnout to strike.

✅ For Those in Grief: Grant yourself grace. Grief comes in waves and can be triggered by sensory cues like smells; this is a normal function of the brain processing trauma.

✅ For Everyone: Ask yourself daily: "What do I need most right now?" Start with just 30 seconds of slow, deep breathing to reset your nervous system.
