222. Caring Out Of Obligation? How To Set Boundaries Without Guilt

What happens when you’re caring for someone who isn’t your responsibility? For many caregivers, the role wasn’t something they planned—it was something they stepped into out of love, obligation, or necessity. 
But when does helping become a burden that affects your own well-being? In this episode, we explore how to set boundaries, find alternative solutions, and release the weight of caregiving without abandoning the commitment to care.

 

As Christian caregivers, we are called to serve with love—but serving does not mean sacrificing everything. Setting boundaries is not selfish; it is wise stewardship of your time, energy, and resources.

 

Candice’s story is a reminder that sometimes, loving someone means ensuring they get the right care—even if that care doesn’t come directly from you.
