This week, Dayna Haig-Conway talks with Gail McDonald, Professional Certified Coach and founder of Blind Spots Coaching, who knows the caregiving burnout spiral all too well.

Gail didn’t start out wanting to be a coach—she wanted to be a flight attendant. But, like so many of us, life offered her something different and, in time, more fulfilling.

Together, they explore what’s really underneath the feeling of overwhelm and why stress, low motivation, or that “why can’t I get it together?” voice often isn’t the problem—it’s the symptom.

Gail shares:
• How to recognize when overwhelm signals an unmet need
• How outdated beliefs and old stories keep us stuck
• The power of presence—showing up for others without getting swept into their storm

This grounded and honest conversation reminds us that resilience isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about coming back to yourself when everything feels heavy.
