## Resource

Hosts Erna and Meg open season three discussing how caregivers can live with uncertainty: accepting what is out of our control, setting boundaries, and trusting ourselves and others. They share practical strategies—turning off notifications, pacing information, extending grace, and learning from mistakes—to reduce anxiety and stay present. The episode emphasizes community and forgiveness within the healthcare system, the power of doing the next right thing, and holding on to hope as a sustaining force for caregivers.
