You Can’t Give Your Best If You’re Not at Your Best | Chronic Illness & Care Work With Adrienne Tucker
Mon Feb 02 2026
What does it mean to care deeply for others without losing yourself in the process?
Adrienne Tucker, founder of Generation NOW Alaska, joins Work Is Third to talk about chronic illness, caregiving, boundaries, and the truth behind showing up sustainably.
Living with fibromyalgia while leading youth programs, supporting families, and raising two children has taught Adrienne a powerful lesson: you can’t give your best if you’re not at your best.
This conversation is for anyone doing emotional labor, care work, leadership, or advocacy, and also learning how to protect their energy while staying connected to purpose.
