  • What's Your Caregiving Value?

    What's Your Caregiving Value?
    2026/08/03
    You've done the math on everything else. Grocery bills. Gas mileage. The cost of the good coffee versus the store brand. But have you ever done the math on yourself?

    This week, we're putting a number on your caregiving — a real one, built from what more than 500 family caregivers told us about their days. It might make you feel seen. It might make you angry. It might do both at once.

    We'll walk through where that number comes from, what it means when someone questions your worth, and why the title you should be using isn't "caregiver" — it's CEO.

    Stick around for the number. Then decide what you're going to do with it.

    Be sure to calculate your value: caringourway.com/value

  • During Caregiving, You Can Get Tired of Trying

    During Caregiving, You Can Get Tired of Trying
    2026/07/27
    You spend your day trying. So why does it feel like you spend your day failing?

    If you've ever felt like you're working with old pieces that don't fit the new puzzle life just handed you — no matter how much you ask, delegate, or research — this episode is for you.

    In this week's Caregiving Comfort, we sit with what trying really costs, why it can feel so futile, and the truth about what trying actually means versus what failing actually means. If you've been close to giving up on trying altogether, listen through to the end — there's a different way to think about the break you need.
