S4 | E4 - Caring for the Caregiver: A Conversation About Fatigue, Guilt, and Grace
What happens when the one doing the caring begins to wear down? In this tender and honest episode, Sarah Joy Covey sits down with Tanya to talk about the unseen weight caregivers often carry—especially when the journey is long, emotional, and uncertain.
As Tanya reflects on her ten-year journey of caring for her mother with dementia, she opens up about the fatigue, guilt, grief, and grace that come with caregiving. Together, she and Sarah explore the emotional toll caregiving can take, why self-compassion is essential, and how we can better support those doing this important, sacred work.
Whether you're walking through caregiving yourself or loving someone who is, this conversation offers empathy, wisdom, and hope.
Sarah asks Tanya:
What’s been the hardest part of the caregiving journey?
How can caregivers balance self-care with the demands of supporting someone else?
What emotions—like guilt, resentment, or numbness—often show up, and how can we process them?
How can friends and family truly support caregivers in meaningful ways?
