When you're helping someone through their struggle, it can feel impossible to return to your own life—your work, your family, your routines. Witnessing another's pain changes us, and it makes sense that we struggle with moving forward when their life feels so tragic.

But here's the truth: we can do both. We can show up for others and tend to our own lives. In this episode, Denise explores the guilt and dissonance so many caregivers feel, and offers a powerful daily question to help you navigate this tension: "How will I do both?"
