A Valuable Lesson From Dolly Parton: Pouring Yourself Out Without Losing Yourself
In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore the often hidden cost of caregiving and what happens when loving someone else causes our own needs to continually move to the bottom of the list. They discuss sacrifice, burnout, identity, asking for help, and the importance of remembering that caregivers matter too. Listeners will be encouraged to seek support while remaining rooted in Christ and to recognize that caring for themselves can help them continue to love and serve others faithfully.
