Guilt and Shame in Caregiving with Susanne White

My guest today is Susanne White, The Caregiver Warrior, an author advocate, Daughterhood circle leader and veteran, family caregiver who turned her personal journey into a mission to support others.

After caring for her parents through illness and dementia, she emerged with powerful lessons in compassion, resilience and self care. Her new book, self care for caregivers is a guide for anyone navigating the emotional roller coaster of caregiving.

In this conversation, we explore the difference between guilt and shame. We talk about the weight caregivers carry, the second guessing the family dynamics, the difference between accountability and responsibility, even the quiet grief that shows up along the way. Most of all, we share ways to ease that burden and how to remind ourselves that being human is more than enough.
