As caregivers, it's not unusual to have days we want to run away. However, these feelings give us feelings of shame and guilt. Society has an unstated opinion that caregivers should be happy with their current situation and cope better!
As a meditation and yoga teacher, this week's guest, Charlotte Bayla, assumed continuing her self-care practices after her husband's cancer diagnosis would be easy. When she struggled, she realized that other caregivers likely had a more challenging time, so she started the Loving Your Caregiving Life podcast.
Charlotte is joining me to discuss why caregivers don't get the recognition they need as a vital part of the caregiving team. We also discuss ways to give ourselves the acknowledgment and respect we deserve.
