EPISODE NOTES:

In today’s episode, we welcome Cari, who shares her experiences as a caretaker in her family. While it wasn't her plan to take on this role for her parents and brother, she felt she had no choice. Coming from a dysfunctional background, she found her sense of belonging through caregiving. We explore how to break free from that role and reclaim her identity as a daughter. Cari recounts her breakthrough moment in the back of a cab, realizing, “I deserve more,” and how she took steps to create the family she wished she had as a child. She now offers that love to her own children while leaning on her husband for support. It’s a beautiful story of transformation and a happy ending.
