About JoyfulRx Podcast

The act of caring for others is rewarding in many ways, but it can also be overwhelming and exhausting, resulting in caregivers feeling stressed, unhappy, guilty and burnt out. Whether you are looking after children, a partner, patients, ageing parents or persons at the end of their life journey, this is your reminder that you cannot pour from an empty cup. You can serve others without sacrificing yourself. The JoyfulRx podcast is your prescription for rediscovering your own inner joy, so you can serve others from your overflow, rather than your reserve tank. Hosted by Dr. Michelle Welch, a practicing physician, mother, children’s book author, and certified mindset coach. She presents topics each week that impact caregivers specifically and offers actionable steps and tools to help them rediscover themselves, reconnect with joy and create their best lives, starting today.
