Starting Over Wealth - The Empowering Journey of Caregiving: How to Keep Your Identity, Sanity, and Soul While Caring for Others with guest, Christy Moore
Manage episode 475886236 series 3482982
How do you hold on to who you are when someone you love needs you around the clock?
In this heart opening episode of the Starting Over Wealth podcast, I’m joined by someone who truly understands the weight and wonder of caregiving: Christy Moore, a registered nurse, patient educator, and fellow caregiver with over 30 years of hands-on experience.
Christy is not only a compassionate professional, but she’s also the voice behind My Best Caregiver’s Life—a podcast devoted to empowering caregivers who feel like they’ve lost themselves while showing up for everyone else.
In this episode, we have a real talk about:
- How to maintain your identity as a caregiver (yes, you’re still YOU!)
- Why self-care isn't selfish—it's sacred
- The financial and medical paperwork every caregiver needs to get in order
- Practical tips for creating “me-time” in the middle of chaos
- The emotional toll caregiving takes—and how to manage the guilt, grief, and grace
- Why finding support, therapy, and community is key to long-term sustainability
Whether you’re a full-time caregiver, navigating medical crises, or stepping into a new season of supporting a loved one, you are not alone. This episode is packed with wisdom, empathy, and real-life strategies from two women who’ve been there, cried there, and still show up every day.
Let this be your invitation to breathe, reset, and remember: you are more than what you do.
You are still becoming who you are.
