Young Life Interrupted - A Podcast For Young Caregivers
Embracing Your Identity Beyond Caregiving
Show Notes

Step into an exploration of self-identity amidst the caregiver role in our latest episode of the Young Life Interrupted Podcast. Host Adrienne Glusman Marioles guides us through the intricate narratives of young caregivers who find themselves in the embarking or deep in the throes of their care journey, highlighting the pivotal importance of self-recognition while maintaining individuality.

Every caregiver's journey begins with a unique story - driven by love, duty, or circumstance. However, as we immerse ourselves in caregiving, our identities can become intertwined with those we care for, often overshadowing our own stories. In this episode, Adrienne shares heartfelt anecdotes and keen insights, urging us to recognize the significance of acknowledging ourselves as caregivers without letting it consume our entire identity.

Discover practical strategies to reclaim your sense of self while fulfilling your caregiving duties - from setting boundaries to nurturing personal interests and connections outside of caregiving. Let caregiving become a facet of your identity rather than its entirety, allowing room for growth, fulfillment, and self-discovery.

Join us as we navigate the delicate balance between caregiving and personal identity, empowering young caregivers to embrace their multifaceted selves while caring for loved ones.
