Ever wonder how to survive the holidays as a caregiver without losing your sanity? Tune in to our latest episode, where Jeanine sheds light on this topic. Based on her experience as a caregiver, she illustrates how reaching out to those around you, delegating tasks, and using a well-defined task list can revolutionize your holiday planning. Jeanine's story, which includes asking friends to run errands for her church's giving tree and recruiting family members to help make her famous apple pie, is a testament to the power of asking for help.
But our conversation doesn't stop there. We delve further into managing expectations and tasks when out-of-town guests are involved. Jeanine shares her tactics of setting boundaries to ensure guest comfort while maintaining family care. We discuss how she assigns tasks like shopping and gift-wrapping to her relatives while adjusting to her household's ever-changing needs. Our discussion also touches on the balance between holiday decorations and household needs, and we even toss in some creative gift ideas like experiences and coupons. Our goal? To arm you with strategies that make your caregiving journey less overwhelming, especially during the holiday season. For more tips and insights, check out our Facebook page and website.
