I think a lot of us tend to take on a little bit too much, and then we realize we've gone too far, we've taken on too much, and then we have this backlash that can show up, like you said, like anger, or like I know for me, when I start getting cranky or irritable, my emotions aren't as stable.
Feeling overwhelmed by the demands of caregiving? In this heartwarming episode of 'Kaleidoscope of Possibilities', Dr. Adriana Popescu and Lauren Polly tackle the heavy topic of compassion fatigue and caregiver burnout. These two experienced caregivers and coaches dive into what it means to be stretched too thin, both in personal and professional settings. They share relatable anecdotes and practical advice to help you recharge your batteries and reignite your passion for caregiving. Dr.
Popescu and Polly discuss the common pitfalls caregivers face, like exhaustion, toxic masking, and the dreaded autopilot mode. But it's not all doom and gloom. They offer simple, effective self-care strategies and life hacks to ease stress and bring back the joy in caregiving.

Whether you're a professional caregiver or looking after a loved one at home, this episode offers a treasure trove of wisdom.
It's a gentle reminder that caring for yourself is just as crucial as caring for others. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that could change the way you approach caregiving.
