In this episode of the I Saved You. Now, Do the Dishes Podcast, I respond to some of the comments I’ve received on previous episodes—things like “You’re so strong” or “I couldn’t have done that.”
I reflect on what those words really mean and why caregivers often don’t feel as strong as they seem.
I also dive into the emotional toll caregiving takes and why supporting caregivers is so crucial. Plus, I share a tender story about getting my husband a pizza—a small but meaningful gesture in the midst of his difficult journey. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed as a caregiver or wondered how to show up for someone who is, this episode is for you.
