Join RuthAnn and Jenna for an honest conversation about the power of self-awareness in everyday life and caregiving. RuthAnn shares how understanding her own limitations allowed her to set essential boundaries as a caregiver, making her better equipped to advocate for her husband and maintain her own well-being. She explains that self-awareness was key to recognizing when she needed to step back, ask for help, and prioritize self-care, which are crucial skills for anyone in a caregiving role.
Jenna explores how self-awareness can transform self-consciousness into self-confidence. By accepting herself and understanding her reactions, she found it easier to let go of worries about others’ opinions. Jenna recounts a workplace encounter that challenged her perspective and, thanks to her self-awareness, allowed her to pause, reflect, and respond thoughtfully rather than defensively. This experience highlights how self-awareness helps us assess feedback, decide what to change, and nurture the qualities that matter most.
Throughout the episode, RuthAnn and Jenna discuss how self-awareness is a foundation for setting healthy boundaries, improving relationships, and building resilience - whether you’re a caregiver, a parent, or navigating any of life’s challenges. Tune in for practical insights and a real-life story about how knowing yourself can help you thrive and care for others more effectively.
