Creating Space To Care For Yourself As A Caregiver with Meriam Boldewijn & Ashley Jackson-Thompson

In this episode of The Self Project Podcast:

• The importance of asking for help as a caregiver
• Discussing feelings of resentment (the disease vs. the person)
• Incorporating self-care for you as a caregiver

 

Meriam Boldewijn helps caregivers who are having challenges in the areas of owning their well-being and time-management and who are ready to have more ME-TIME and feel more at ease while they support their loved ones.

There was a time when Meriam’s husband was a diabetic/on dialysis/had multiple transplants (kidney/pancreas), groin rupture, several eye surgeries, ankle surgery, and her brother had a stroke. While taking care of her husband she experienced burnout. This was an eye-opener.

She discovered tools and techniques that she used after her burnout. These tools helped her to go from exhausted to stress-free while taking care of her husband and brother.
