Ep16 Self-Care, Self-Advocacy, and Gratitude
Listen now
Description
PWSA | USA's communication team, Carrie and Anne, speak with PWS mom, Emily Felt, about self-care for caregivers. We talk about what caregiver burnout may look like, various ways to practice meditative activities and why, the importance of self-advocacy and external support, what gratitude does for perspective and mental health, and how and why to keep showing up for yourself. Whether your self-care routine is a walk in the forest, yoga stretches in the morning, a campfire with friends, or all of the above, we hope this conversation helps you better understand the need for self-care as a caregiver, ways to bring more of it into your life, and how to truly show up for yourself.
