The act of caring for others whether personally or professionally is rewarding in many ways, but it can also be overwhelming and exhausting, resulting in caregivers feeling stressed, unhappy and burnt out.

Whether you are looking after children, patients, clients, ageing parents or persons at the end of their life journey, this is a reminder that you cannot pour from an empty cup. You can serve others without being a martyr. The JoyfulRx podcast is your prescription for rediscovering your own inner joy, so you can serve others from your overflow, rather than your reserve tank.

Hosted by Dr. Michelle Welch, a practicing physician, mom, children’s author, entrepreneur and certified coach who is passionate about helping caregivers. She examines topics each week that benefit caregivers specifically and offers actionable steps and tools to help them rediscover and claim their joy so they can create their best lives, starting today.
