Caring feels hard, because it is hard
If you're reading this, you're likely caring for someone you love.
You're wanting the very best for your mum, dad, grandma, grandpa or ageing loved one. And you're probably finding it really hard, exhausting, confusing, often thankless and relentless.
I am going to help you survive and thrive through this stage of life, and give you the tools to be a happier, more confident and less stressed care partner.
Recognising carer stress symptoms, and defining the cause
-
The Carer Symptom Checklist: Recognise your symptoms of 'carer stress' (physical, mental and emotional stresses).
-
Clarity Leads to Change: We can effectively manage and prevent carer stress and burnout, but first, we need to define the problem/cause of the carer stress.
-
Know your 'Why': A powerful source of motivation and meaning to keep you caring through the really hard times, to help you show up as the carer you want to be
