Caregivers need care, too, with Meredith Myers
Good conversations, a few unexpected detours, and plenty of reasons to laugh along the way. That's what you can expect from the latest BloodStream episode!
Hosts Patrick James Lynch and Amy Board catch up on Halloween adventures, debate the possibility of Taylor Swift becoming Patrick's neighbor, and look ahead to reconnecting with the bleeding disorders community at the HOPE Conference. There's a little Jafar-inspired side hustle talk in the mix, too.
But this episode also gets into a conversation that deserves more airtime.
In this episode's I'm Fine, Meredith Myers opens up about the reality of caregiver trauma and what happens when the crisis is over, but the emotional weight doesn't simply disappear. After a frightening 12-day hospital stay with her youngest son, Meredith found herself doing what so many caregivers do: minimizing her own experience, putting everyone else's needs first, and convincing herself she was fine. Now, she's sharing why letting people in, accepting support, and giving yourself grace matter just as much as being there for everyone else.
It's a little bit of everything this week, from laughs to community and an honest conversation about what it really means to be fine.
