If you’re exhausted, barely keeping it together, and quietly wondering when you’ll feel like yourself again… this episode is your lifeline.

Maybe you’re the one who keeps the house running.

The one everyone calls in an emergency.

The one who knows takes care of everyone including medications, the bills, doctor visits, and the schedules.

The one who stays up late searching for answers, and gets up early to make sure everyone else is okay.

You don’t complain.

You don’t slow down.

But you’re running on fumes. And no one sees it.

You feel invisible.

Like you are losing yourself.

Like you’re going through the motions in a life that used to feel like yours.

Mel is talking to you in this episode.

Whether you’re raising kids, managing a household, supporting aging parents, a sick family member, or all of the above, taking care of others can slowly wear you down and make you feel like you don’t even know yourself anymore.

In this powerful and deeply validating conversation, Mel sits down with three world-renowned experts, all of whom are doctors as well as caregivers, to give you the truth, the tools, and the hope you need to finally come up for air.

You’ll hear from:

-Dr. Aditi Nerurkar, Harvard physician and stress researcher, on why chronic caregiving stress is not your failure, it’s a public health crisis

-Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, psychiatrist and bestselling author, who’ll teach you how to set guilt-free boundaries and reclaim a sense of control over your life

-Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, physician and bestselling author, whose deeply personal story will show you how to stop disappearing into caregiving, and start living again

This episode is not about pushing harder. It’s about finally pulling back in a way that actually helps.

You are not alone.

You are not failing.

And you are not here to disappear.

So press play, and let this episode take care of you for once.
