In Episode 56 of The Nurses' Breakroom with Jenny Lytle, RN, we explore a powerful truth: even the strongest caregivers need care too.
Titled “From Caregiver to Care-Receiver: Learning to Ask for Help Without Guilt,” this episode invites you to reflect on the emotional and spiritual strength it takes to say, “I need help.”
Jenny shares a simple but profound moment on the lake — a reminder that sometimes we have to turn toward the light (the S-O-N, not just the S-U-N) and accept the warmth of support when life feels cold.
If you’ve ever hesitated to lean on others — whether due to guilt, pride, or not wanting to seem weak — this is your reminder: you don’t have to do it all alone.
💡 What You’ll Learn:
- How to shift from caregiver to care-receiver — without shame
- Why asking for help can be a gift to others
- What spiritual and emotional support can look like in real life
- Simple first steps to stop suffering in silence
- How to book a free clarity call when you're not sure where to start
💬 “We’re not meant to go through life alone.”
