The Secret to Caring Without Carrying the Weight of the World with Dr. Tony Nader

Have you ever felt like you're carrying the weight of the entire world on your shoulders? The news. The climate. The wars. Your family's pain. Your friends' struggles. Everyone who needs you and everything they need? If you've been feeling depleted, resentful, physically exhausted — or like your body is starting to break down from how much you're holding ...you're not weak. Your nervous system was never built to carry this much.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Marci Shimoff (Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul, Happy for No Reason, The Secret) sits down with Dr. Tony Nader — a Harvard and MIT-trained neuroscientist, medical doctor, brain researcher, New York Times bestselling author, and global leader of the Transcendental Meditation organization.
Dr. Nader reveals the critical distinction between CARING (which heals both you and others) and CARRYING (which quietly destroys you from the inside). He explains the neuroscience of mirror neurons, cortisol, inflammation, and burnout — and offers a simple daily question that can transform how you move through your day: "What is mine to do today?"
If you've been feeling depleted, exhausted, or like you're doing everything for everyone and still not enough — this is the conversation that will help you understand WHY, and give you the specific neuroscience-backed tools to keep caring deeply without breaking.
