Caregiving for our spouse, aging parents, or even our own children is a HUGE part of retirement that many people don't think about when planning for retirement, but very often can define our retirement. Caring for others is often a deeply fulfilling journey, yet it can come with significant challenges. Many caregivers frequently find themselves feeling overwhelmed and neglecting their own needs while they focus on those they care for. This is where self-care becomes essential.
