Distant Caregiving Guilt: A Grounding Affirmation for Sandwich Generation Moms

Описание: Do you feel like you’ve "abandoned your post" just by living your own life? We often tell ourselves that being a "good daughter" requires being physically present 24/7. When we aren't, a constant hum of stress follows us into our homes, our work, and even our sleep. In this Midweek Reset, Valerie Mekki helps you set down that "heavy luggage" of guilt and return to center.


Following up on Sunday’s conversation about Distance Guilt, this short guided session reinforces a vital metric shift: Proximity is a physical fact, but presence is a choice. Whether you are traveling back and forth between households or managing care from another state, this practice is designed to help you ground yourself in the "now" so you can show up fully for the people in front of you and the ones afar.






In this Reset, you’ll experience:





• Presence vs. Proximity: A quick reminder that connection isn't about coordinates on a map—it’s about the heart.




• The Distance Affirmation: Reinforcing your power with the mantra: "I am here. They are there. The love remains."
