## Resource

In this episode, I challenge the belief that constant exhaustion is a sign of being a good caregiver. I introduce my "10-Minute Pity Party" framework, a simple but powerful way to process grief, frustration, and overwhelm without letting those emotions take over your entire day. You'll learn why suppressing your feelings can lead to burnout, how giving yourself permission to feel actually builds resilience, and why caring for yourself is essential to caring well for your parent. This episode is your reminder that showing up with strength begins by making space for your own humanity.
