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.
