Carrying Two**
*A Body-Based Guide for Raising Kids and Caring for Aging Parents at the Same Time*
Caught between raising children and supporting aging parents? Discover a compassionate, body-based guide to navigating sandwich-generation caregiving without losing yourself.
When you are caring for two generations simultaneously, stress isn't just an emotional state-it's a physical load. From chronic muscle tension and exhaustion to nervous system overload, the double strain of caregiving takes a heavy toll on the body.
In Carrying Two, author Felix Ngalla provides a practical, somatically focused roadmap designed specifically for middle-generation caregivers. Drawing from real-world experience and body-centered practices, this book moves beyond generic self-care tips to give you real-time tools for physical resilience and emotional grounding.
Inside, you'll discover:

• Somatic & Body-Based Tools: Simple physical exercises to regulate your nervous system and release stored stress instantly.
• Ergonomic & Energy Management: Techniques to reduce physical strain, fatigue, and burnout while managing daily care tasks.
• Boundary & Emotional Clarity: How to navigate guilt, boundary-setting, and emotional overload without compromising compassion.
• Sustainable Daily Routines: Actionable strategies to build moments of genuine rest and recovery into an overpacked schedule.
