The very essence of family revolves around caregiving. Yet, amidst the chaotic demands of work and our daily lives, we often find ourselves struggling to provide the heartfelt care to those we love the most. And of course, there is the additional challenge of caring for those family members who can truly test our patience! In this episode, MJ engages in a conversation with a woman who has dedicated over five decades of her life to caregiving. While there is no all-knowing guru with a definitive formula for caregiving, our guest today offers a helpful and wise perspective which encourages us to lean into the many lessons of caregiving as we tend to our loved ones' needs in ways that do not forget our own.
