Caregiving isn't just a role; it's a deep dive into the world of giving and love, a journey that's taught me how powerful yet challenging it can be. I'm here to share not just the sunny sides but also the gritty realities of caregiving.

Join me as I unravel the perils of too much pride and the necessity of building a supportive team—it really does take a village. Standing back sometimes doesn't mean stepping away from care but rather preparing for the unexpected. In my own experience, facing the music—acknowledging that I couldn't do it all alone—wasn't about giving up but gearing up to ensure both my well-being and that of my loved ones. Listen as I share stories of caregivers who learned the hard way that 'superhero' isn't a sustainable role. Their journeys underscore the importance of community in caregiving and the critical need to keep the dialogue open and honest. If you're feeling the weight of caregiving solo, let's talk about 'sharegiving'—because sharing the load doesn't just help our loved ones, it saves us too.

About Me:

I have cared for many family members across the life span, experiencing the joys and challenges of child-rearing, the poignance of caring for parents, friends, and elder partners. I realized that I could not handle the stress of family caregiving 24/7/365. It was time for a new approach to caring. My health and happiness were slipping away. This is how Think to Thrive for Caregivers evolved. Let your mind meet your heart so you don’t lose track of your life.
