Let's face it; life gets tough for all of us, and sometimes in midlife, when our warrior-hormone estrogen has tanked, life can feel especially tough.
Minimum Self-Care Routines:Establish basic self-care habits to prevent burnout, especially when caregiving for aging parents. It's essential to set boundaries and allow yourself the space to recharge, even if it feels unfamiliar after years of prioritizing others.Flexibility & Well-being:Embrace flexibility in your dietary and lifestyle choices. While eating whole, real foods is beneficial, it's equally important to indulge occasionally and enjoy social activities without guilt. Balance is key.Authenticity in Relationships:Authenticity fosters trust and deeper connections. Be honest with yourself and others, and allow your true self to show up in relationships. This practice saves energy and encourages genuine bonds.
Cam and Amelia have both experienced struggles: aging parents, business travel, loss of pets, parents moving, cancer.....it's all, well, heavy.
Joint us for an enlightening and (believe it or not) encouraging episode on how to cope with hard times by establishing minimums: good habits and practices that you can rely on to keep you centered and sane.

04:50 Older parents often forget caregivers' busy lives.
07:16 Laughing through the challenges of caregiver burnout.
11:26 I’ve grown more honest with age.
14:54 Cam taught me to recognize and process emotions.

We've heard for years from Brene Brown, "We desperately don't want to talk about shame, and we're not willing to talk about it. Yet, the only way to resolve shame is to talk about it." So we are.

Aligning actions with values can lead to greater authenticity and self-awareness.Liberating From Labels: Move away from shame as a tool for change and from labeling. Shedding negative self-identifications can lead to emotional freedom and deeper connections with others.Vulnerability Breeds Connection: Embrace vulnerability as a path to love, belonging, joy, and innovation. Being honest with oneself and opening up to trusted others can lead to deeper connections and personal growth.
