The Cancer Caregiver
The Cancer Caregiver
The Cancer Caregiver Podcast is for the relentless cancer caregivers who tirelessly prioritize their loved ones but struggle to care for themselves amidst overwhelming responsibilities, societal expectations, and feelings of isolation. What if self-care didn’t feel like one more impossible task? What if you could find moments of joy, even in the chaos? Caregivers face constant challenges: battling burnout, feeling unseen, and navigating the overwhelming pressure to always put themselves last. These struggles exist because society glorifies the selfless caregiver, leaving little room for personal care. But denying yourself isn't sustainable. Instead, it’s time to break free from guilt, shatter misconceptions, and embrace practical self-care that empowers you to thrive. Enter The Cancer Caregiver Podcast, your go-to resource that simplifies self-preservation into actionable, 15-minute strategies. The Cancer Caregiver Podcast delivers short, impactful episodes that focus on one practical self-care technique at a time. From mindfulness and breathing exercises to navigating difficult emotions, we cover strategies that fit seamlessly into your busy life. Hosted by Charlotte, a fellow cancer caregiver, yoga and meditation teacher, this podcast is your supportive sanctuary for reclaiming your time and joy. Charlotte has walked the difficult path of cancer caregiving for over a decade. With firsthand experience of the relentless demands and emotional toll, she knows the battle caregivers face in trying to care for themselves. Charlotte’s background in yoga and meditation uniquely equips her to provide caregivers with tangible, no-nonsense self-care tools, making her the ideal guide for this journey. Life is short. Cancer sucks. But you deserve to live joyfully. Join us on The Cancer Caregiver Podcast and reclaim the space you need to care strong—for yourself and your loved one.
