Marguerita Cheng presents at Jeannie Dougherty’s 3rd Annual Caregiver Conference: “How to Set Up a Low-Stress, Long-Term, Flexible Financial Plan for You and Your Child”
Nov. 19, 2025: Host of the 3rd Annual Caregiver Conference Jeannie Dougherty asks, “You’ve been taking care of everyone else… but who the hell is taking care of YOU? As the caregiver of the family, you’ve got to take care of someone who needs all the help they can get. But you have your day job. And whatever the rest of the people in your life want to pile on to you until you feel ready to snap. None of this is fair, since you have to put your life on pause while everyone else takes advantage of you and leaves you behind.”
Jenny continues:
- First, as the nurturer of the family, they probably raised you to ignore your own needs and put everyone else first. That forces you to shut down your inner voice from telling you something’s wrong. And that gives the manipulative, abusive people in your life the perfect opening to pull every bit of energy, time, and even money from you when you’re just trying to do right by someone. (Part of this is because they’re counting on you being the only one who can do the work the right way.)
- Then you also have to juggle a thousand decisions on top of the decisions you already have to make when you’re working. You’ve probably tried reaching out for help, only to either get ghosted, get the wrong kind of help, or get it too late to be any good. What you’re dealing with is called Caregiver Syndrome, and it burns out every caregiver who goes through it. There’s good news, though. You don’t have to keep taking this.
