Here I share seven life-changing truths that I believe every caregiver needs to hear. These aren’t just ideas—they are the very lessons that carried me out of burnout and into balance. They’re the truths that helped me heal from exhaustion, release overwhelm, and restore both my energy and my joy. And I believe they can do the same for you.

Whether you’re a mom, dad, or caregiver in any role, these truths are essential if you want to not just survive your caregiving journey—but truly thrive through it. So if you’re in need of some encouragement or a gentle reminder of what’s possible for you, settle in and let’s walk through them together.

Caring for others—whether in your personal or professional life—can be deeply fulfilling, but it also comes with its challenges. The weight of constant caregiving can leave even the most dedicated among us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and burned out. Too often, societal and cultural norms reinforce the idea that sacrificing ourselves is the price of being a “good” caregiver.

But here’s the truth: you cannot pour from an empty cup. You deserve to care for others without losing yourself in the process.

Welcome to The JoyfulRx podcast—your weekly dose of inspiration, tools, and strategies to rediscover your inner joy. Hosted by Dr. Michelle Welch, a practicing physician, mother, children’s author, entrepreneur, and certified coach, this podcast is designed specifically for caregivers who are ready to stop surviving and start thriving.

Each week, Dr. Michelle dives into topics that matter most to caregivers, offering practical steps and actionable insights to help you reclaim your joy, build resilience, and create a life where you can serve others from your overflow, not your reserves.
