In this vulnerable episode, Dr. Michelle shares a personal story about how she made the pivotal shift from constantly spending her time, energy, and emotions trying to keep everything afloat — to investing them intentionally into her healing, joy, and future.

You’ll hear:

• The hidden cost of people-pleasing and over-functioning
• What finally made her realize she was depleted — not defective
• The mindset reframe that turned everyday choices into acts of self-worth
• How to start investing in yourself today (no perfection required)

If you’ve been pouring out for everyone else and wondering when it’s your turn — this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.

🎧 Listen now and take your first step toward restoring what burnout has borrowed.

Caring for others—whether in your personal or professional life—can be deeply fulfilling, but it also comes with its challenges. The weight of constant caregiving can leave even the most dedicated among us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and burned out. Too often, societal and cultural norms reinforce the idea that sacrificing ourselves is the price of being a “good” caregiver.

But here’s the truth: you cannot pour from an empty cup. You deserve to care for others without losing yourself in the process.

Welcome to The JoyfulRx podcast—your weekly dose of inspiration, tools, and strategies to rediscover your inner joy. Hosted by Dr. Michelle Welch, a practicing physician, mother, children’s author, entrepreneur, and certified coach, this podcast is designed specifically for caregivers who are ready to stop surviving and start thriving.

Each week, Dr. Michelle dives into topics that matter most to caregivers, offering practical steps and actionable insights to help you reclaim your joy, build resilience, and create a life where you can serve others from your overflow, not your reserves.
