It’s Tuesday afternoon. A perfectly ordinary time, and yet, for a caregiver, it can feel like just another stretch of the marathon.

For over a decade, my Tuesday afternoons blurred together. They were filled with prescription pick-ups, calls to insurance

companies, and the quiet, relentless work of keeping someone else’s world turning. My own world got very small.

I remember the feeling of looking at the clock around 3 p.m. and realizing I hadn’t eaten, hadn't sat down, hadn't taken a single breath just for me. It felt normal. It felt like my job.

It took me years to understand that my job was not to disappear. My job was to care and to survive—to find a way to be sustainable.

That’s the truth at the heart of The Sustainable Caregiver. It’s the book I wrote for that 3 p.m. version of myself. It’s a collection of 46 tools designed to fit into the cracks of your day. A five-minute emergency triage for when panic hits. A burnout gauge to check in with yourself. A permission slip to feel angry, tired, or unseen.

So, this Tuesday afternoon, I have one question for you:

When did you last do something that was just for you?

If you can’t remember, that’s okay. You’re not alone. But maybe today can be the start of a new habit—one where you take one small thing back for yourself.

You can find the book here if you need a place to start: [Amazon Link]

Be kind to yourself this afternoon.

Linda

Caring for you while you care for them.
