Not to diminish or confuse the challenges of caregiving, but most of this is also be generally good advice (if not complete) for someone burning themselves out at a very demanding job, startup, school, etc.

Most of it is also good advice in general.

Maybe something significant about saying it to a particular group like this is to both remind of general good advice, and to clarify that, even though it seems you're in an exceptional situation, the good advice still applies or may be more important now than baseline?






Absolutely right, and I’d define that sort of job as a caregiving role as well. A team, organisation, charity or club can be a dependent and it can feel impossible to walk away if you’re deeply invested.
