Life as a caretaker can be hard. I have discovered four core areas of our lives we need to strengthen in our daily lives: * Spiritual * Mental * Emotional * Physical. We can lean into the many emotions we feel daily and find hope when we are feeling overwhelmed. Is it possible to find joy in the midst of painful circumstances? YES! Each week I will bring to the community a different topic/speaker who can help us navigate our world of caretakers. We will share meaningful conversations that will encourage, provide information, and let caretaker's know they are not alone on their journey.
