Lessons From a Lifetime of Caregiving
Nov 12, 2025In this week’s episode of Maybe I Can, I’m opening my heart about a role that has shaped most of my life — caregiving.
From becoming a caregiver at 17 for my father after his stroke, to raising a son with autism, to walking alongside my husband through terminal illness… these experiences changed me in ways I could never have imagined.
I share what I’ve learned about balancing compassion with boundaries, why self-care is a necessity (not a luxury), and how asking for help doesn’t make you weak — it makes you human.
Whether you’re a caregiver right now, have been one, or may one day find yourself in that role, I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone, and that taking care of yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can give to others.
