Can Burnout Be a Blessing? with Carrie Severson
About this episode
In this episode of the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast, we’re joined by Carrie Severson—caregiver to her husband Gavin and a recognized expert in burnout. Carrie shares how her personal caregiving journey inspired her advocacy work, storytelling, and her podcast, I Saved You. Now, Do the Dishes. We dive into the difference between caregiver burnout and the entrepreneurial burnout Carrie previously experienced and spoke about. She also recounts a shocking experience with a disruptive healthcare professional and how she successfully had them removed from her care team. Plus, Carrie reveals some of her go-to self-care practices, including cold therapy, box breathing, and using music as a powerful healing tool.
