Caregiving is a role filled with love, sacrifice, and resilience. But what is the real cost? In this special episode of The Caring Corner, I go beyond the surface to uncover the financial, emotional, and societal tolls of caregiving that often go unnoticed. With over 100 million Americans providing care—66% of whom are women—the burden is staggering, yet so often invisible.  We’ll explore the pressures faced by caregivers: balancing careers, finances, relationships, and well-being. Plus, I’ll discuss small but powerful strategies for finding moments of calm, connecting with others, and advocating for policies that support caregivers. Join me as I bring visibility to the essential work of caregiving and empower you to find support and strength along the journey.
