How to find compassion in caregiving & support your mental health along the way with Stephanie Muskat

How do you find compassion for yourself during your care journey as it relates to your mental health, while trying to navigate boundaries, self-care, personal identity and stress? 

My guest today is Stephanie Muskat, a young caregiver, mom of 3, registered clinical social worker and psychotherapist.  She is also the Founder & CEO of Compassion in Caregiving, an all-encompassing mental health community for caregivers supporting those looking for support in caring for others.  

Stephanie knows first-hand the complexities of falling into caregiving.  In 2009 she became the primary caregiver for her mom who was later diagnosed with early onset FTD and was caring for her grandmother with Alzheimer’s.   Now she helps other caregivers through the process of managing their physical and emotional health to support them in maintaining their connection to self and important aspects of their lives.
