The Predicament of a Caregiver

 The Predicament of a Caregiver

Let’s give her a name - Meera.

Meera had always been the nurturer. At work, she supported her team through every challenge. At home, she was the anchor for her family, juggling the demands of aging parents and growing kids. Meera took pride in being dependable, but lately, she’d been feeling stretched thin.

She wanted to be there for everyone - her colleagues, her family, and even her friends. But deep down, she wondered: “When do I get to breathe?”

Her fears whispered constantly: “What if I’m letting someone down?”

“What if I can’t keep this up?”

“What if I lose myself in the process?”

Her days were filled with small frustrations: missed lunch breaks, sleepless nights worrying about loved ones, and the nagging feeling that no matter how much she gave, it was never enough.

What Meera truly craved was relief. A way to recharge and nurture herself without feeling selfish. She dreamed of a life where she could support others while still finding moments of joy and peace for herself.

But every time she tried to prioritize self-care, guilt crept in. “How can I take time for myself when so many people rely on me?” she thought.

If you have ever felt like Meera - caught between caring for others and losing touch with yourself - know this: taking care of yourself is the best way to care for those you love. Self-awareness micro-practices are not indulgent; they are essential.

Are you ready to reclaim your energy and peace of mind?

I guide busy caregivers like Meera to release stress, guilt, and exhaustion, helping you reconnect with yourself while staying present for those who matter most.
