What happens when a lifelong caregiver finally includes herself in the circle of care?
In this episode, Wendy sits down with functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner Dori Martin to explore caregiving, burnout, self-trust, and the connection between joy and well-being. Dori shares how her partner’s terminal diagnosis—and her own experience of losing herself while caring for everyone else—changed the way she understands healing. Together, they consider what becomes possible when you stop carrying everyone else’s bags and start choosing what lights you up.
They explore:
- How lifelong caregivers can stop carrying everyone else’s burdens and begin listening to their own needs
- Why caring for yourself is not another task on your list, but the foundation that supports everything else
- What it means to trust yourself, receive support, and choose what brings you joy
If you’ve spent years taking care of everyone else while quietly losing touch with yourself, this conversation is an invitation to put down what was never yours to carry—and say yes to the life that lights you up.
