If you’ve ever ended your day thinking, “I should’ve done more,” this episode is for you, friend. 💛
In Season 1, Episode 7 of What’s In Your Cup?, we’re diving into the emotional drainers that quietly empty your cup — guilt, shame, and the constant pressure to be “enough.”
Together, we’ll explore:
✨ The three types of caregiver guilt
✨ Why cultural, family, and personal expectations shape the way we show up
✨ How guilt turns into shame — and how to stop that spiral
✨ Real stories from Cathy’s caregiving journey
✨ Practical tools to release the pressure and refill your cup with grace
This isn’t about calling yourself out — it’s about calling yourself in.
Because you are doing the best you can with what you have.
And you deserve to feel enough, exactly as you are.
