Self-Care Tips for Dementia Carers: Why Pausing Matters and a coffee stop!
Show Notes:
In today’s deeply personal episode, Angela shares a small but meaningful stop along her dementia carer journey—a pause for coffee, and a pause for herself.
When you’re caring for someone with dementia, it’s easy to forget where you end and the caregiving begins. Life moves in loops of responsibility, and we often run on subconscious autopilot. But today, Angela gently challenges that rhythm, choosing presence over pressure.
From the driver’s seat of her roadtrip, she reflects on:
- 🧠 The emotional toll of dementia careers
- ☕ The quiet magic of a coffee break, alone
- 🛑 Interrupting our normal subconscious "carer autopilot"
- ❤️ The quiet power of choosing yourself, even for a few minutes
This episode is an invitation—to breathe, to reflect, and to remember that you deserve care too.
