Ever feel like you have to cancel joy just to survive caregiving? In this raw and heart-centered solo episode, Kama shares a deeply personal story about almost canceling her birthday trip—and why she’s so glad she didn’t. From care home chaos to soul family reunions, this episode is a love letter to every caregiver who’s ever wondered if it’s okay to receive, to fill up their own cup, to say yes to joy.
Kama opens up about the emotional tug-of-war caregivers face when choosing between duty and desire—and how we can learn to trust ourselves and make soul-aligned decisions, even when life is messy. If you’ve ever second-guessed a moment of self-care, this is your permission slip to receive, reset, and recharge.
🌈 Key Takeaways:🌈
✨ Receiving is Healing: Learning to receive is just as important as giving. Kama shares how saying “yes” to soul fuel helped her return recharged and ready to show up with more love and light.
✨ Honor Your Needs: The voices of guilt and “shoulds” are loud for caregivers. Kama shows us how to tune in to a deeper truth—and listen to your higher self.
✨ Flexibility is Power: Shortening the trip, changing flights, asking for help—caregiving and joy can coexist when we get scrappy and resourceful.
✨ Build Your Receiving Muscle: Every moment of receiving—big or small—is a gift and a practice. You are worthy of all the love and support you give so freely.
✨ Messy is Real and Beautiful: From lost voice to lost recordings, Kama reminds us that even when things fall apart, there’s still magic in the mess.
✨🌈✨ A Loving Reminder:✨🌈✨
Dear caregivers, your journey is sacred, as is your joy. You can shine your light and care for someone else’s—find ways to nourish both. When you receive, you amplify your ability to give.✨🌈✨
