If you’re one of the millions of Americans who dedicate much of their daily lives to caring for a family member, it may seem overwhelming to balance the demands of caregiving, family, work, and caring for yourself. With the emotional and physical toll caregiving can take on the body, it’s important to find ways to maintain your own health. But where do you find the time? And how do you even start? Sometimes all you need to do is go for a walk. CareWalks is a podcast from Voltaren Arthritis Pain Gel and iHeartRadio designed to accompany you on a walk.

So while YOU walk, join our host Holly Robinson Peete as she walks and talks with other caregivers, health experts, as well as others living with osteoarthritis and joint pain. Learn how our own health and well-being is just as important as the health and well-being of those in our care.

Whether noticing signs of anger or feeling overwhelmed with no help, understanding caregiver burnout is vital to combating its effects. That is why therapist and social worker, Lindsey Pace, became focused on helping those feeling caregiver burnout after working closely with folks caring for terminal family members. She counsels caregivers on how to recognize the signs of burnout, defuse the related stress with movement or mindfulness, and employ self-care tactics to find the joy in caregiving. Adjusting to major life changes can be difficult, but through strength and resilience, the opportunities for growth and bonding with a loved one are never-ending. This episode is a shorter version of our conversation with Lindsey made for a shorter walk.
