[This episode was originally aired in November 2023. As one of our top episodes, we decided to share it with you now while we take a recording break!]
Jason Young, is a nationally recognized consultant and leadership guide, keynote speaker, best-selling author, and university professor. He has over 25 years of experience working alongside well-respected churches and companies, a doctoral degree in hospitality, and is currently working on his Ph.D. in leadership trauma. And THIS is why I asked him to join us today. Jason recently wrote a book, Don’t Burn Out, Burn Bright, focusing on pastors and ministry leaders and how they can perform their roles well without exhaustion, discouragement, and burnout. While caregivers aren’t pastors, we certainly have much in common as both roles focus on caring for others. We’ll discuss how burnout happens to people serving and leading others and what we need to do so we can not burn out but burn bright.

The other day, I posted a 15-second clip on TikTok that went viral. Some people were so thankful for my quick thoughts, and others said I was a really big jerk!
What was all the fuss about? Sometimes, what we think of as caregiving is really enabling behavior.
In this week's episode, we explore the fine line between supporting and caring for our loved ones without detriment to ourselves or shirking our caregiving responsibilities.
And I’ll be giving more context to explain the difference between healthy acts of care and those that can potentially be enabling and harmful to our loved ones and us.

Let’s dive into how we can support our loved ones in ways that empower them rather than undermine their independence and well-being.
