Episode Title: Caring for Others Without Losing Yourself: Mindset Tools for Caregivers Podcast: Running to Myself Host: Trisha Stanton
Episode Summary: In today’s episode of Running to Myself, Trisha Stanton speaks directly to those in caregiving roles—especially those who never signed up for the job. Whether you’re caring for a loved one with a terminal illness, mental health struggles, or chronic medical needs, caregiving can be both sacred and heavy. Trisha shares three powerful mindset tools to help caregivers take care of themselves, offering practical strategies to reconnect with their own needs, desires, and sense of identity, even amidst the emotional and physical toll of caregiving.
In this episode, you'll learn:

Why it's essential to recognize that you are not just your role—you are still YOU.
The importance of accepting support, and how asking for help is a necessity, not a failure.
How tiny moments of care—like a few deep breaths or a brief break—can create meaningful shifts in your well-being.

Trisha also talks about:

The invisible toll caregiving can take and how it often leads to feelings of being unseen or unheard.
How to balance the tenderness of caregiving with the truth that your life and needs still matter.
The importance of holding space for both love and self-care.

Key Takeaways:

Mindset Tool #1: You Are Not the Role Don’t lose yourself in caregiving. Take time to check in with your own needs, desires, and boundaries.
Mindset Tool #2: You Deserve Support Burnout doesn’t make you stronger—it just wears you down. It’s okay to ask for help.
Mindset Tool #3: Tiny Moments Matter Care for yourself in small, but impactful ways throughout the day.

Quotes from the episode:

“You are allowed to be tired. You are allowed to be overwhelmed.”
“Even in this hard season, there’s still space for your voice. There’s still room for your breath.”
“You don’t have to figure it all out today, but you can take your next small step forward.”
