Erin and Robin explore the challenges of midlife caregiving, particularly for emptiness moms. They share personal experiences with caregiving, emphasizing the importance of self-care, somatic work, and community support. Erin introduces Next Gen Caregiver and The Abundant Caregiver community, highlighting resources and community engagement for caregivers.
We chat about the emotional and practical challenges of caregiving, alongside the importance of self-care for those on this journey. We share our personal experiences and offer valuable insights for navigating care giving (dementia), navigating a caregiving team, and prioritizing your own well-being.
4 Takeaways:
· Prioritize self-care alongside caregiving responsibilities to maintain physical and emotional well-being.
· Consider hospice care for dementia patients to ensure compassionate end-of-life support.
· Advocate for comprehensive health assessments for aging parents to proactively manage their health.
· Explore simple self-care practices like breathwork and movement to discover what supports individual well-being.
*Embrace the "1% shift methodology" to make small, sustainable changes that improve your well-being and ability to care for others.
Don't be afraid to seek help
Prioritize your own well-being and seek help early to avoid burnout. Utilize resources and don't hesitate to ask for support when needed.
