   Have You Lost Yourself to Caregiving?With Linda PernialUMP 74

   Have you lost yourself while caring for everyone else? Caregiving can be deeply meaningful, but when you’re constantly focused on the needs of others, it can be easy to lose sight of your own identity, joy, and well-being. In this episode of Unshelling Medicine, Idongesit Obeya speaks with Linda J. Pernia, RN, founder of Health Bridge Advocacy and Coaching, about caregiver burnout and the challenges many people face while caring for aging parents and loved ones. Linda shares her personal experience with burnout and explains how caregivers can recognize when their “spark” is beginning to dim. They also discuss the importance of asking for help, setting aside time for yourself, preparing for difficult healthcare conversations, and putting important documents and healthcare directives in place before a crisis happens. In this episode, you'll learn about:• Caregiver burnout and the sandwich generation• Signs that caregiving may be affecting your identity and well-being• Why self-care is not selfish• How to ask for and accept help• Supporting aging parents without losing yourself• Healthcare advocacy and planning ahead• The importance of healthcare directives and difficult family conversations If you’re caring for a parent, partner, family member, or loved one, this conversation is a reminder to check in with yourself too.
