Episode 41: When the Caregiver Is Too Tired to Cook – Nourishment Without Burnout

Welcome back to Radiant Moments: A J and B Podcast. I'm Michelle, your host and fellow caregiver walking this journey with you.

Have you ever opened a full fridge and still felt like there was nothing you could cook? When even making toast feels impossible, you’re not lazy—you’re tired. In this heartfelt episode, we unpack the emotional and physical fatigue that hits when caregiving has drained every last drop of energy. This episode is your permission slip to pause, simplify, and nourish yourself and your family without the guilt.

💛 Caregiving fatigue is real. Nourishment should never feel like a burden. 💛

🌿 In this episode, we’ll explore:

Signs of caregiver burnout and how they show up around food and meal prep
Strategies to simplify cooking without compromising care
How to stock a caregiver-friendly pantry for low-energy days
Ways to embrace imperfection and celebrate "cereal for dinner" moments
My personal story of survival cooking and the unexpected joy that came with it
Tools to reconnect with your needs and remove pressure from mealtimes
