Caregiving can keep us in a constant state of doing—planning, worrying, responding, advocating and caring for everyone around us. But when do we give ourselves permission to simply be?

In this episode of The Caregiver Circle, Karen and Meredith welcome Mary Pratt-Henaghan, an experienced caregiver and certified Yoga Nidra facilitator, grief yoga trainer and grief educator.

Mary shares how her own caregiving journey—from supporting members of her extended family to caring for her mother and later her husband following his cancer diagnosis—ultimately led her to turn a longtime personal practice into a way to support others.

Mary introduces us to Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation practice designed to help quiet the constant “doing” and give the body and mind an opportunity to rest, restore and recharge. She explains why this accessible practice can be especially meaningful for caregivers who live in a heightened state of alert and may feel as though they simply don’t have time for one more thing.

And you won’t just hear about it—you’ll experience it. Mary guides Karen, Meredith and listeners through a short Yoga Nidra meditation designed to create a few precious minutes of calm, safety and stillness.

Because caring for yourself isn’t separate from caring for the people you love. Sometimes, even a few minutes to rest, restore and recharge can make a difference.
