Ep. 40 Breaking Free from Caregiver Burnout with Lynette Weldon
Motherhood stretches us in more ways than we ever imagined—but caregiving asks even more of the heart. When you're caring for a child with special needs or ongoing medical concerns, the emotional, physical, and mental load multiplies. You love fiercely, but you’re also human. And too often, that humanity—your exhaustion, grief, resentment, guilt, and deep longing to feel like yourself again—goes unseen.
This week’s episode of Let’s Get Real is one so many moms have been waiting for. I sit down with Lynette Weldon—a longtime caregiver, practitioner, and mom who has walked through medical trauma, emotional collapse, and the quiet unraveling that happens when you disappear inside the needs of everyone else.
This conversation is raw, honest, and deeply validating. If you’ve ever thought:
You are not alone. And you are not failing.
Why Caregiving Burnout Doesn’t Happen Overnight
Lynette shares how burnout begins slowly—long before we name it:
Over time, it wears down your patience, your body, your joy, and your sense of self.
And the hardest part?
Moms often feel like they aren’t allowed to talk about it.
Because if they do… they fear being judged. Misunderstood. Seen as ungrateful or selfish.
But caregiving brings its own grief. Its own losses. Its own invisible wounds. Naming them is not selfish—it’s sacred.
If You’re Feeling Burned Out… You’re Not Failing. You’re Tired. And You Deserve Support.
This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to hold it all together.
You don’t have to be the strong one all the time.
You don’t have to bury your exhaustion and pretend you’re fine.
You matter too.
And healing doesn’t mean abandoning your child—it means keeping yourself whole so you can keep showing up with love without losing yourself in the process.
If this episode encouraged you, please share it with another mom who needs the reminder that she doesn’t have to do this alone.
You aren’t failing.
You aren’t selfish.
You aren’t invisible.
You’re human—and you deserve support, rest, and room to breathe again.
