We’re kicking off our next six week series, which is all about stress, depression and anxiety. And today’s show is dedicated to caregivers. Caregivers are often faced with greater demands on their bodies, minds and emotions that they tend to neglect their own health and wellbeing. This can then lead to fatigue, hopelessness and physical, emotional and mental exhaustion. This is frequently known as caregiver burnout.
Are you a caregiver? A caregiver is not only reserved for professionals like therapist, doctors, nurses, teachers, and police officers. They are also moms and dads, those caring for elders, parents, someone with a eating disorder, a substance abuse disorder, an addiction, or a chronic illness like cancer or an autoimmune disorder. So what causes caregiver burnout? How can you spot the symptoms of caregiver burnout? What can you do to take better care of yourself and other caregivers alike? So many question. And we have answers! Join us on today’s show as Lucia welcomes guest Sharon Lawrence, Therapist for Therapists and Professionals, LCSW and Certified Life Coach, for a real and hopeful conversation on caregiver burnout. With real talk, tools and experts, WellSeekers with Lucia is here help you find ways to love yourself & others more well!

Every 62 minutes a person dies from an eating disorder, where eating disorders are the number one leading cause of mental health related deaths. Some possible factors, explored and discussed in today's show, include untrue and unhealthy beliefs, and pressures of unrealistic expectations with our relationships and judgments with our bodies, and with food. Additionally there may be inappropriate association of these beliefs and pressures to self worth and self identity, as we are told from social media, diet culture, and even our own narratives.
According to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, Eating disorders in young men and women are on the rise (Source). In the United States alone, as many as 10% of females are reported to suffer from a clinical eating disorder. When you consider non-reports, males and eating related issues like binge eating, the number can be much more significant. So how do we know if our child is struggling with an eating related issues? How do we talk to them and how do we find help?
On today's show, Michelle Felton, LMHC, CEDS, is back. Michelle is the Clinical Director of Laurel Hill in Medford, MA and has her own private practice as well. Join Lucia and Michelle as they talk about eating disorders, how they present in kids and how today's current landscape contributes to the issue.
