Caregivers often carry invisible weight: the emotional labor of constantly meeting others’ needs while neglecting their own. Coaching offers a structured way to redefine balance, build healthy boundaries, and let go of the guilt that keeps so many helpers from asking for help themselves.

Taking a break helps, but it does not heal. Family caregivers need more than rest. They need systems, support, and space to recover from the emotional and physical toll of constant care. This National Family Caregivers Month, it is time to talk about sustainable mental health solutions, not only self-care.

When you are caring for your children and your parents at the same time, you are part of the “Sandwich Generation.” It is a role full of love, duty, and often exhaustion. The emotional, physical, and financial strain of supporting two generations can silently wear down your mental health. The good news: with the right support systems and realistic boundaries, you can prevent burnout before it breaks you.

Caregiving can begin as an act of love but often turns into an invisible source of emotional and physical exhaustion. Explore the science behind caregiver burnout and learn how therapy and coaching can help restore balance and well-being.
