Episode Description

Have you ever looked at an old photo of yourself and wondered, What happened to that version of me?

Caregiving has a way of quietly reshaping our lives. One appointment becomes dozens. One act of helping becomes years of responsibility. And somewhere along the way, it's easy to lose sight of the person you were before caregiving became part of your identity.

In this solo episode, Mikayla explores the often-overlooked grief of losing yourself while caring for someone else. Together, we'll talk about identity, role engulfment, the invisible sacrifices caregivers make, and why missing your old life doesn't mean you love your person any less.

If you've ever felt like you've become "just the caregiver," this conversation is your reminder that you're still in there.
