Lorraine's Story of overcoming burnout from Caring

Lorraine shared her experience as a carer for her mother, who deteriorated health-wise after turning 80, requiring round-the-clock care. Lorraine and her two sisters took turns caring for their mother, often at the expense of her own health and the impact that had for Lorraine's mental health. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the situation, leading to increased stress and isolation. Lorraine shares her story of living through burnout and reaching her breaking point and emphasized the importance of recognizing the signs of burnout and seeking help. Despite the challenges, Lorraine highlighted the need for making good memories and the eventual recovery process. She urged caregivers to seek support early and not feel guilty for taking breaks and you will get through it you just need to give yourself time to heal. Your Voice Matters!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
