TOPIC: Holidays and Heartache: Navigating Emotions and Expectations as a Caregiver

Feeling torn between caregiving and holiday expectations? You’re not alone. Join us for real talk, support, and strategies to protect your peace this season.

The holidays can be a season of joy—but for caregivers, they can also bring exhaustion, guilt, and grief.

Between caring for loved ones, managing family expectations, and trying to hold on to traditions, the pressure can feel unbearable. Many caregivers enter the holidays already running on empty, silently wondering, “Where do I fit in this season of giving when I have nothing left to give?”

This conversation is for you.

Join three caregiver coaches who understand what it’s like to carry too much and feel unseen in the process. Together, we’ll explore:

The emotions that surface during the holidays—and why they hit so hard
How to navigate family expectations and protect your peace
Simple ways to bring meaning (not just tasks) back to your holiday season
Mindset shifts to help release guilt and rediscover joy—even in small moments
You’ll leave feeling seen, supported, and equipped with tools to care for yourself as much as you care for others.

You’re not alone. Let’s talk about what it really means to care.
