The Things They Don’t Tell You Before Becoming a Full-Time Caregiver

No one hands you a manual when your life suddenly shifts into full-time caregiving.

You just figure it out—one hard, honorable, unseen moment at a time.

In this raw and real episode, Melissa shares 10 powerful truths she’s learned through her caregiving journey. Truths no one prepared her for, but every caregiver needs to hear. From anxiety and panic attacks to sacred questions about death… from quiet grief to unexpected moments of laughter in the middle of the grocery store… this is the episode that puts words to what your heart has been feeling.

Whether you’re new to caregiving or deep in the trenches, this conversation will remind you:

You’re not failing.

You’re not forgotten.

And you were called to care.
