The Grit & Grace Podcast with Dr. Lori Doddy

When you work with me, you think you're signing up for weight loss. What you're actually signing up for is…  A total shift in how you see yourself—and what you're willing to believe is possible. In this episode, I unpack the real reason so many smart, capable women stay stuck in a cycle of half-started plans and “maybe next Mondays.”  It's not because they're lazy or lack willpower. It's because they're chasing surface-level solutions for deep-rooted blocks. We'll talk about: The difference between structure and true change Why your current identity is sabotaging your next level The beliefs most women don't even know they're operating from How my clients actually change their lives (it's not the part you think) If you've been circling the idea of getting serious about your health, energy, and body, this episode might be the nudge you didn't know you needed.

If you've ever felt like you should be able to hold it all together—meal prep, workouts, work deadlines, family, the mood of the house—and still find yourself exhausted, stuck, or silently spiraling… this episode is for you. Today, we're unpacking the hidden pressure to “get it right” that so many high-achieving women carry. I'll show you how this drive to impress isn't actually helping your progress. It's disconnecting you from the very things that would move you forward. We'll talk about: Why perfectionism in your health journey often disguises itself as “discipline” How performance-based habits backfire (even when they look like consistency) A story of one client who stopped doing everything “right” and finally got results A mindset shift to help you stop performing and start connecting—for real progress This one's a truth-teller. And if you've been quietly wondering, “Why can't I keep it together anymore?”—please don't skip it.

You say you want a lifestyle change, but do you really know what that means? In this episode, I'm breaking down the real reason so many women over 40 stay stuck in the lose-regain-repeat cycle… even when they swear they're “doing everything right.” We'll talk about the hidden identity that's sabotaging your success, why lasting weight loss can't come from a temporary mindset, and what actually needs to shift in your metabolism and your mindset for change to stick. I'm sharing my story, a little of my mom's story, and what I see everyday in the women I coach. This one's honest, a little uncomfortable, and exactly what you need to hear if you're ready to stop starting over.

In this episode, I take you along for the sweaty, soul-searching thoughts from my solo 6+ mile walk-run in the Texas heat.  What started as a reflection on a conversation with a client who felt “stuck” turned into a powerful reframe on what's really going on when women delay the change they say they want. This episode is for the woman who's been telling herself she'll “start when life slows down,” or that it's just a rough season.  I call that out for what it often is: stalling. You'll hear why change costs more than time or money, and why staying the same costs you even more. Because no one's coming to do it for you. And the longer you wait, the more of you you lose. What You'll Learn: The subtle difference between feeling stuck and actually stalling Why calling your current pace “temporary” might be keeping you stuck The true cost of waiting to change, and why time is the one thing you can't get back How to make moves (even imperfect ones) when you're done waiting It's honest. It's raw. It's the kind of real talk you didn't know you needed—until now. Want more support making your next attempt at weight loss the one that finally works?

Think shaving your legs or grocery shopping solo counts as self-care? Think again. In this short and honest episode, I call out the way women have been taught to confuse basic survival with actual care.  If your “me time” only happens after everyone else's needs are met, this is your wake-up call. You'll hear: – The difference between maintenance and real nourishment – Why most self-care advice feels exhausting (or performative) – What true care can look like when it's defined on your terms This isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about making space for what actually feeds you.   When you're ready, here's how I can help you for FREE:   Here's how I can help you:

Feeling unmotivated, stuck, or just... over it? You're not lazy. You're not in a funk. You might just be carrying more resentment than you realize. In this episode, we're going there—the quiet anger women carry from doing too much for too long, being everything to everyone, and putting themselves last on every list.  I unpack how that buried resentment doesn't just affect your mindset. It shows up in your body, your energy, your follow-through, and your ability to keep going. This isn't a breakdown.  It's your body saying: “I'm done pretending.” You'll walk away from this episode with powerful questions to ask yourself and a reframe that gives you permission to stop shrinking and start shifting—for good.

What if the version of success you've been chasing… isn't actually yours? In this episode, we're unpacking why so many women feel burned out, behind, or disconnected—even when they're achieving.  If your goals don't feel like they're serving you anymore, this might be the permission you didn't know you needed. We'll explore: - How your old success standards may be rooted in hustle, control, or people-pleasing - What emotional regulation has to do with health, peace, and confidence - How your relationship with food, money & busy-ness reflects your beliefs about worth - Why redefining success in midlife is powerful—and overdue You'll also get reflective questions and a small step to start shifting into a version of success that actually feels like you. This isn't about giving up. It's about evolving—on purpose.

Most women don't struggle because they don't know how to prioritize.  They struggle because they're still living by priorities that don't fit the woman they are becoming. In today's episode, I'm sharing why so many of us feel stuck in midlife—especially during peri-menopause and menopause—and it's not because we're lazy or unmotivated.   It's because our bodies, our minds, and our lives are shifting… but we're still trying to live by the rules of a life we've outgrown. If you've been feeling like you're constantly fighting yourself, or wondering why “trying harder” just makes you feel more drained, this conversation is going to hit home—and hopefully set you free. It's not about managing your life better. It's about making sure you're managing the right life. Let's talk about what that really looks like.

Ever feel like you're stuck in the in-between? Not who you used to be… but not quite sure who you're becoming either? In this episode, I unpack what it means to be in a “threshold season” - those foggy, transitional times that often show up during perimenopause and menopause when your body, your roles, and your identity all start to shift. This isn't about waiting it out or resting in resignation. It's about recognizing the invitation this moment holds - to realign, reclaim your health, and choose what comes next. Whether you're feeling unmotivated, untethered, or unsure what's next… this conversation will speak directly to you.

We're told we need more courage. More confidence. More motivation. But what if that's not actually the problem? In this episode, I'm breaking down why you might feel stuck - not because you're weak or unmotivated - but because you're investing your energy in the wrong priorities.  I'm sharing the exact shift I've made (and helped so many clients make) that makes courage show up naturally - not as something you chase, but as something that rises up when your values are clear. But this episode isn't just about your weight or health. You can apply shift and these tips in ANY (read: EVERY) aspect of your life.   So if you've been waiting for the “right moment” to start showing up for yourself, this is the reframe you didn't know you needed.

Most women say they want to feel better. Less stress. More peace. A body that feels like theirs again. But what if the real reason they stay stuck is because deep down, they're afraid of what life looks like without the struggle? In this episode, I'm getting real about something I see all the time, especially in women whose kids are grown or whose caretaking roles have shifted. When you've spent decades being the hero, the helper, the one who keeps everything together… …actually feeling okay can feel unfamiliar. Even unsafe. We're talking about: Why some women secretly cling to burnout and chaos. The identity crisis that comes with not being “needed” anymore. And what it really means to allow yourself to feel good - without guilt This isn't a fluffy feel-good episode. It's a mirror. And you might not be ready for it, but it's okay if it hits a little hard. You're allowed to be happy. You just have to believe it's safe to be.   Here's how I can help you:

This episode isn't about Mel Robbins. It's not about Cassie Phillips. It's about something bigger. What happens when one woman's voice echoes across the world… and another's - sometimes the original, often smaller voice - is barely heard? In this episode, I'm exploring what the recent “Let Them” controversy reveals about power, platform, authorship, and the way women navigate influence in the self-help space. We're talking about Why originality isn't the point, but credit is How we subconsciously buy into the idea that success equals truth And what happens when we become more obsessed with who's the loudest than with what's actually valuable It's not about taking sides. It's about paying attention.   BONUS: I'm offering a my FREE 3 Day Metabolic Kickstart experience!

Ever feel like you've spent more time thinking about your weight and health than actually doing something about it? You're not the only one—and it's not because you're lazy or unmotivated. In this episode, I'm unpacking something that came up big time in my client check-ins this week: the mental weight women carry around trying to “figure it out.” We're talking about the invisible load of constantly second-guessing food choices, white-knuckling through Mondays, and feeling like it's all on you to get it right. But what if the issue isn't how hard you're trying… What if it's that you've been trying harder instead of trying differently? This one's not about tips or tactics. It's about awareness. About recognizing the real weight you've been carrying—and what changes when you start putting it down. Just a short, honest conversation. No pressure. No pitch. Just something to sit with.

Ever found yourself saying, “I just need to think about it,” only to never take action?  You're not alone.  In this episode, we're breaking down what's really happening when you hesitate, why your brain plays this sneaky little game, and how to recognize when it's keeping you stuck instead of helping you.  You'll learn the difference between thoughtful decision-making and fear-based overthinking—so you can finally move forward with confidence instead of talking yourself out of what you know you need.

100TH EPISODE SPECIAL: THE SUCCESS FORMULA THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING  Ever feel like you're stuck in the same cycle - wanting to lose weight, feel better, or finally break free from the struggle… but no matter what you try, nothing sticks? That's because most women approach success backwards. In this special 100th episode, I'm sharing a game-changing formula that shifts EVERYTHING when it comes to your weight, health, and happiness: A Success Formula you can apply to everything in life!  This shift freed me.  It's freed my clients, and it will free you too.  If you've been feeling stuck, this episode will change how you see your journey forever.

Ever feel like you're trying so hard to change, but something invisible keeps pulling you back?  You start the diet, the workout, the new habit… and then boom—you're right back where you started. Like some unseen force is working against you. Here's the truth:  What you say you want and what you're actually committed to might be two completely different things. And until you uncover those hidden commitments, you will always stay stuck in the same patterns. In today's episode, I'm breaking down:  ✔ Why your brain fights against change (even when you really want it) ✔ The 2 hidden contracts running your life and why one always wins  ✔ How to identify your real commitment (hint: your actions will tell you)  ✔ The simple shift that changes everything If you've ever wondered why you sabotage yourself, why motivation never lasts, or why you feel trapped in old habits, this episode is a must-listen.

Last episode, we talked about the shift that happens in midlife - the one no one prepares us for. But the truth is, that shift is not just about physical changes like weight gain and hot flashes. It's deeper than that. Maybe you've been feeling restless, questioning everything - your relationships, your career, your happiness.  Maybe the things that used to fulfill you don't anymore. And maybe the people around you are noticing… and not exactly loving this new version of you. But here's the thing: This isn't a crisis. It's an awakening. In this episode, I'm diving into: Why your shifting hormones might be changing how you see yourself, your relationships, and your life Why so many women feel disconnected from their partners, careers, and even their friendships during this phase Why you're not crazy or selfish for wanting more - and why that's a good thing How to navigate these changes with awareness, confidence, and clarity If you've ever wondered, "Who am I outside of what I do for everyone else?" - this episode is for you. It's time to stop fighting the shift and start embracing it. Because this isn't the end. It's the beginning of who you were always meant to be. Let's dive in.

Something shifts in midlife - and no one prepares us for it.  It's not just the hot flashes, the metabolism slow down, or the weird hangovers from one glass of wine.  It's that unsettled feeling of losing yourself after decades of being everything for everyone else. In this episode, I dive into why this happens, how our hormones literally rewire our brains, and why that restless, uncomfortable feeling you're experiencing isn't a crisis - it's an invitation. If you've ever thought, "Who am I outside of what I do for others?" - this one's for you. It's time to stop fighting this shift and start embracing it because this isn't the end. It's the beginning of who you were always meant to be.

Have you ever bought a meal plan, a workout guide, or some “guaranteed” program, thinking this will finally be the thing that works… only to feel frustrated when it didn't actually change anything long-term? Yeah. There's a reason for that. In this episode, I'm exposing one of the biggest tactics in the online coaching world - the “sell women what they think they need, then give them what you believe they need” approach.  On the surface, it doesn't sound terrible (and it's not). But the way it's used is often manipulative, and it keeps women stuck in a cycle of constantly looking for the next quick fix. We're talking about: Why so many programs feel like a letdown (even when they technically make sense) The sneaky way marketing preys on your struggles What you really need to create lasting change & why most coaches won't tell you that How to spot the difference between effective coaching and just another “trendy” solution If you're tired of investing in things that don't actually help, this episode will give you the clarity (and confidence) to make smarter choices for your health, mindset, and goals.

Nothing went right at the start of my webinar last week — tech issues, no sound, my dog losing his mind… total chaos! And for a second, I thought, Seriously?!  But I pulled it together and kept going. And that's exactly why the women who stayed got what they came for - and why many of them took action. [CLAP CLAP CLAP!!!] That got me thinking, so… in this episode, I'm sharing why messy action beats waiting for the perfect time, how the women in my program are seeing real results even when life is hectic, and why pushing through imperfect moments is the key to real change.  If you've ever told yourself, “I'll start Monday” or “I just need things to calm down first,” this episode is for you.   When you're ready, here's how I can help you for FREE: (Community + Support) Join my Lori Doddy's Total Wellness community to get research-backed tips, strategies, and free resources to lose weight and manage menopause like  (Lose Fat) Steal my guide with exact 5 Changes I have all clients make in week 1 of working with us, so they lose weight and drop inches even before we put their customized plan in place.

Does it feel like your New Year's goals are already slipping through your fingers? You're not alone, and it's not your fault. Most goals fail because we're missing three key pieces that make all the difference. In this episode, we'll dive into why traditional goal-setting doesn't work. I'll share those three missing pieces, and I'll explain what you need to focus on instead to create sustainable success.  I'll share insights from experts like Dr. Heidi Grant Halvorson, Simon Sinek, and James Clear, plus lessons I've learned from my own journey and coaching experience. If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and build a system that actually works, this episode is for you.

Are you stuck in the cycle of overhauling everything every Monday, only to feel burned out and stuck by the end of the week?  In this episode, I tackle the all-or-nothing mindset that keeps so many women spinning their wheels. I'll share why real growth doesn't come from perfection or trying to “overhaul it all” overnight - and how small, consistent steps can build the momentum you need to create lasting change.  Plus, I'll share a relatable story that'll have you laughing (and maybe cringing) at how ridiculous the “overhaul it all” approach can really be. It's time to trade mediocrity for momentum - one small, imperfect step at a time. Let's dive in!

The holidays are supposed to feel like a vacation - a time to relax, recharge, and enjoy family and traditions.  But let's be honest… for many women, especially moms, the holidays are anything but a vacation.  You're the one making everything happen - planning, cooking, decorating, hosting, and keeping the peace - and while you love your family, it's exhausting. Sound familiar? In this episode, we're diving into the invisible weight women carry during the holiday season. I'll break down why it happens. (Hint: It's not just because you're busy) How it impacts your emotional well-being, and - most importantly - what you can do to reclaim your joy without sacrificing the magic you create for everyone else because you deserve to experience the wonder too. Grab your favorite holiday drink, let's chat, and take the first step toward a holiday season that feels good for you too.

Does it feel like no matter what you do - eating healthy, counting calories, tracking macros, or even lifting weights - you just can't seem to lose weight after 40?  You're not alone, and you may not be doing anything “wrong.”  The truth is, your body isn't responding to these strategies the way it used to, and there's a reason for that. In this episode, I'm breaking down what's really happening with your metabolism after 40 and why the typical weight loss advice doesn't work anymore.  I'll share the key factors holding you back and explain what you need to know to get your body working for you, not against you. Whether you're resetting after a holiday indulgence or getting serious about your long-term health and weight goals, this episode is packed with insights that will help you understand your body on a deeper level.  So grab your coffee, water, or wine [smile].  Let's chat and get ready to approach your goals with clarity and confidence.

Today we're chatting about something I was just coaching clients on... And during the discussion, they said lightbulbs were going off for them. We dove into this idea of identity.  More specifically, I shared how our perception and beliefs about ourselves either hold us back, or they hold the golden ticket to everything we're trying to achieve. And this is a big deal because so many of us think we're just on a mission to change habits or routines. (Or that we need to be on that mission.) But the truth is... The real transformation comes when we shift who we believe we are at our core.  I wanted to share this chat with you today because, let's be honest, you're probably doing the same thing - working hard on actions without realizing your identity is running the show.   Give this episode a listen then do me a favor and rate the podcast and leave a review. :) Send me a message on Facebook or in Instagram DMs if you'd like.

Let's be real today... Ever feel like you're in this constant cycle of starting fresh on Monday, only to end up back at square one by the weekend? It's not that you don't want to reach your health goals—it's just that somehow, things always seem to go sideways.  I used to believe that if I just worked hard enough or got the right plan, I'd finally stick with it. I thought, if I want it bad enough, I'll make it happen. But here's the truth:  Sometimes it's not about wanting it more. There's a whole web of stuff underneath the surface that's making it hard for you to follow through. And that's what we're uncovering today's episode.

Let's be real - Do you roll your eyes when you see social media posts about "finding your why?"  I AM!  And that's why I felt drawn to do this episode. Social media is packed with fluffy buzzwords that might make you feel "nice," but they don't move the needle on real change. In this episode, I get to the heart of what's missing from the surface talk and dig into the real reasons that drive transformation. I start with how you need to forget stopping at the question of “why” because that's just the beginning!  If you want real change, you have to get beyond feel-good statements and surface level questions. You have to explore the deep-rooted beliefs, past experiences, and even self-judgments that influence your journey. Whether it's weight loss, better health habits, or boosting confidence, understanding these layers can make all the difference. So if you're ready to dive deeper, this episode is for you. Tune in for an eye-opening chat that might just give you a fresh perspective on why you want the change you're after. Take a moment for yourself today… You've got this.

As busy professional women over 40, we juggle lots of responsibility. Along with that, we grapple with the challenges of weight loss, health, and self-confidence, especially during peri-menopause and menopause when our metabolism seems to work against us.  In today's episode, I share realization I came to my own wellness journey that made all the difference.  This realization fundamentally changed the way I approach investments in my life and business. I explain the shift and give examples of how saves me time and enhances my quality of life.  As you listen, imagine how you can apply the shift in your life.  I hope you'll also consider the cost of inaction - if you don't make changes.  This change became a pathway to reclaiming my life - in a sense.    When you're ready, here's how I can help you for FREE: (Community + Support) Join my Lori Doddy's Total Wellness community to get research-backed tips, strategies, and free resources to lose weight and manage menopause like  (Lose Fat) Steal my guide with exact 5 Changes I have all clients make in week 1 of working with us, so they lose weight and drop inches even before we put their customized plan in place.

Menopause comes with a LOT of physical effects... weight gain, bloat, itchy skin, aches, pains, muscle loss... and the list goes on.  But there's so much more to it because this transition is all emcompasing. It's physical. It's emotional. It's psychological. It has a "total impact!"  And because of that total impact, it also affects every aspect of our lives, including our intimate relationship. And we don't talk about that enough. When a woman comes to me for help, she OFTEN tell me one of her main goals is to improve her relationship with their husband.  And specifically, she says she wants to be more intimate, more often.  So in today's episode, I talk about what's "normal," why it feels so uncomfortable physically and emotionally, and how all of that impacts our relationship. And it does have an impact... Have you noticed the increase in divorce for couples in their 50s?   But don't despair!  Today, I also share how we CAN regain the "comfort" we seek and the intimate connection with our partners. Pssst... I'll let you in on a secret: The sex can come back and be better than it's ever been.   :)  But warning:  This is an episode you want to listen to alone, so put on your sneakers, pop in your earbuds, and go for a walk with me.  Or make a cup of coffee, and sit on the porch with me.  And let's dive in to the juicy stuff today.   P.S.

In today's episode, I chat with special guest, Jasmyne Chandler.  And here's why I'm excited to share her with you.  In working with women on weight loss and health goals, I often find patterns of struggles that impact their journey - things that often have nothing to do with food and exercise.  These are the emotional, psychological, stress, and "other" challenges.  And a common one is... the sometimes difficult relationships we have with our older teen and young adult children. That relationship can be even more complicated when our kids are struggling, and we are unsure how to help them.  Enter Jasmyne.  She is an International Coaching Federation Certified, Trauma Informed, and Professional Life Coach for Teens and Young Adults.  As a coach, Jasmyne assists teens and young adults who need additional guidance, support, and mentorship.  She helps them build self-confidence, shift stuck energy and negative self-talk, and embrace and accept themselves for who they are.  She helps them move toward positive change and activities in their lives. In my discussion with Jasmyne on this episdoe, she shares how parents can best encourage and support their teens and young adult children.  She shares insights, tips, and advice for what you can actually do for you and your kids. I'm excited to introduce you to Jasmyne and for her to bring this valuable information to you. I encourage you to follow her on social media and reach out to her with questions and inquiries about her coaching and programs if you're looking for support for your teen or young adult. She's also graciously shared with us a FREE resource with 5 steps to help your teen or young adult child manage and minimize anxity.  Use the link below to grab that guide! The work Jasmyne does is not only impressive and effective, but also makes an amazingly positive impact on young people and this world.

Today I"m shedding light on a common mindset trap many of us fall into when tackling weight loss and health.  And I'm fully aware that what I share in this episode may ruffle feathers. But here's the thing... It's tempting to believe that there's a "medical" or other outside solution to our struggles, but we have to face the reality that the real breakthrough often lies in understanding and transforming our mindset and metabolic health.  So today, I address the MINDSET TRAP keeping you stuck as I see it:  And that is...  thinking a nutritionist or physician will solve your weight and health issues. In this episode, I share why it can be "informative" to seek those consultations, but explain how they can also be a way to avoid the hard work of changing our daily habits. I know... this can be a hard pill to swallow.  But be open to a perspective that may very well save your life.  It can definitely drastically improve your physical and mental health.

In today's episode, we have a heart-to-heart about something that comes up more often than you might think.  And maybe it's plaguing you too.  That is... the doubts and fears that hold us back from investing in our health.  You know the ones I'm talking about - those little voices that whisper: “What if it doesn't work?” or “I'm not worth the investment.”  These thoughts may seem harmless, but they can keep you stuck in a cycle that negatively impacts both your mental and physical health.

I've noticed many of you feeling overwhelmed by the flood of contradictory information circulating on social media about health and fitness.  Topics like fasting, walking, using a weight vest, and increasing protein intake often come with mixed messages, leaving you uncertain about what to believe.  This confusion is compounded by your unique challenges—years of restrictive dieting, potential periods of unhealthy eating, and the effects of perimenopause and menopause.    Today, I want to help clarify some of these topics based on science, so you can make informed decisions about your health and well-being.  Let's explore what to trust and what to approach with caution.

It's with a heavy heart that I record and share this episode as... it marks my realization that summer is quickly coming to an end.  [insert dramatic sad face]  Walking through Target last week, I was bombarded with that realization - if I'm honest.  Huge signs proclaimed "BACK TO SCHOOL" and "GET YOUR SCHOOL SUPPLIES" as I entered the big sliding glass doors.  So there wasn't really a chance to miss the bold school bus black and yellow marketing.   In that moment, I remembered the stress and strife of the end of so many summers as a teacher.  In those days leading up to the start of the new school year, I would be disppointed - that my freedom was ending, but also that I had started summer with big plans to "eat healthy and exercise THIS year."  But... I had let myself down again.  So I'm not surprised these days when I talk to teachers who tell me they're experiencing the same disappointment - that of not making use of their relaxed summer schedule to put a healthy routine in place.  They also tell me... they're concerned that now they won't be able to get on track once the busy days of fall get underway.  Well, teachers... This episode is for you!  But it's not only for the teachers as these tips will help any woman during this (oft stressful) time of year. So it's for busy moms and grandmas too because I know teachers aren't the only ones who feel the hustle and bustle of fall. We all experience the rushing of getting kids up and off to school, chauffeuring them to and from activities, working all day then hitting the door at home and immediately figuring out what's for dinner.  All of that busy-ness just piles on top of the regular responsibilities of work and life because as a woman, you know... those tasks don't slow down or stop for fall.  So this episode, like all of them, is for all of you teacher or not.  And I hope what I share helps you navigate the impending days of fall in a healthier way!   Be sure to listen to the end for a couple of KEY PHRASES. I have helpful gifts for you if you send me those phrases.  :)  WAYS WE CAN CONNECT!  Join my FREE community for busy, professional women over 40 where I give research-backed tips, strategies, and free resources to lose weight and manage menopause: https://bit.ly/JoinFreeTotalWellnessGroup Get on my email list: https://bit.ly/GetLoriDsEmails  Let's chat about my 12 week Metabolic Resuscitation System: https://bit.ly/TalkWithLoriD  Follow me on social media...

A struggle more and more of us are dealing with as we get older is caring for our elderly parents.  Whether it's with part-time or full-time care, many women our age face the added responsibility of physically (and sometimes financially) aiding our parents as their physical and/or mental health declines.  As an online coach and mentor to (more) women put in this situation, I realize the toll it takes on you.  So I've become more informed about that impact, and as a result, I've customized our MRS coaching (even) to help clients navigate this emotional space.  In today's episode, I share some of the challenges of caring for aging (and ill) parents, and I explain the negative impact it can have on your physical and mental health, as well as its affect on your weight loss journey.  I also share some of the strategies I use in coaching women facing these struggles, and I give you practical tips that you can use if you are dealing with this challenge.  My hope is that I can help you better navigate this time in life, so you feel more equipped to handle the varied emotions that come with caregiving and so you also continue to care for yourself during this difficult stage.  Thanks for listening!
