Carole is a speaker, podcaster, writer, coach and blogger who lives a transparent life sharing the things she is learning from the Lord on this caretaker journey of caring for her husband.

If you are a caretaker, this episode will leave you feeling seen, understood and encouraged all while giving you so many practical tips on how to live out this caretaking journey God has you on. If you aren't a caretaker then you know someone who is. Share this episode and the links below on how to connect with Carole. People need to hear her message and you can be a part of that!

Some HUGE takeaways from todays episode! 

  • There are over 55 Million unpaid caretakers in the USA 
  • There is a 1 in 5 chance you will become a caretaker 
  • A caretaker is someone who provides care for another person 
  • Ask Yourself the right questions..lean into what’s happening then ask... “I’m tired... Now what?” or “I’m overwhelmed... Now What?” 
  • Take your focus off of the pressures you are facing and put it on God
  •  If you are a caretaker who leans towards isolation make it a point to get out and about with a friend or loved one 
  • You are allowed to grieve how life used to be 
  • Live in the moment, don’t rush to the future or live in the past but find moments to enjoy and laugh about today 
  • Caretakers burnout is an epidemic 
  • Caretakers, pay attention to have you eat, sleep, be in the sunshine, workout, self-care, get dressed and feel put together, etc.
