Caregiving Conversations is a podcast for caregivers carrying the emotional, relational, and invisible load of caring for aging parents, often without a roadmap, shared language, or support.

This is where we talk about what no one prepared you for:
the guilt, the family dynamics, the decision fatigue, and the conversations that shape everything.

Caregiver Conversations

PODCAST

A podcast for caregivers navigating the emotional weight of caring for aging parents

✅You’re managing appointments, medications, or decisions, often quietly
✅You’re the “responsible one” in your family
✅You’re navigating guilt, resentment, or burnout you don’t talk about out loud
✅You’re struggling with sibling dynamics or resistance from a parent
✅You’re trying to care deeply without losing yourself
✅You don’t have to call yourself a caregiver to belong here.

If you’re carrying the emotional weight, you’re in the right place.

I'm a mom, daughter, caregiver, and senior living expert with over 20 years of experience supporting families through the emotional and practical realities of caring for aging parents.

I created Caregiving Conversations after living the experience myself, navigating complex care decisions, family dynamics, and emotional overwhelm without the language or support she needed.

My work focuses on one core truth:
Caregiving doesn’t break families, communication gaps do.

Through my podcast, resources, and frameworks, she helps caregivers find the words, confidence, and steadiness to move forward with less guilt and more connection.
