The Joy Toolkit: What Every Helper Needs in Their Emotional First Aid Kit

The Merriment Making Podcast

When you spend your life caring for others, who cares for you?
Today, we’re building a Joy Toolkit — a playful, powerful emotional first aid kit that helps caregivers, helpers, and heart-forward humans stay resourced, recharged, and radiant.

This episode is especially for the Heartfelt Caregivers — the over-givers, the nurturers, the ones who feel guilty resting.
Less about healing, more about sustaining your sparkle. ✨

You’ll discover real tools (plus some delightfully weird ones!) to stock your kit, tips for actually using it, and loving reminders that you matter even when you’re not “producing” or “helping.”
We’re reclaiming joy as a necessity — not a luxury.
