Show Notes for Season 6, Episode 16: Emotional First Aid—Managing Caregiver Stress & Burnout
What happens when the caregiver hits a wall?
In this raw and emotional episode of Caregiver Secrets, we explore the silent struggle so many caregivers face: burnout. Through the story of Tara—a devoted daughter and caregiver who nearly lost herself in the process—we shine a light on the hidden toll caregiving can take when we push through without support.
You’ll discover how stress shows up quietly… and how unchecked exhaustion can spiral into danger. But most importantly, you’ll hear how small, consistent acts of emotional first aid can be the lifeline you didn’t know you needed.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, numb, or like you're running on empty, this episode is for you.
We’ll unpack:
-
The early warning signs of emotional burnout every caregiver should watch for
-
A powerful reminder that your emotions matter—and deserve space
-
What it really looks like to begin healing in the middle of the chaos
-
How one caregiver found her way back to herself—one breath, one boundary, one brave moment at a time
