Before caregiving took center stage in my life, I was cruising along, working as a producer, yoga teacher, and life coach. I’d ‘helped’ my aging grandparents with their needs, and that felt normal—just what family does. It wasn’t until I started caring for my mom, who was diagnosed with young-onset dementia, that I became ‘caregiver-aware.’ Realizing that I was, in fact, a caregiver had a profound impact on my life.

Being a caregiver opened my eyes to harsh truths—societal stigma, lack of support, and serious gaps in healthcare. I was overwhelmed, isolated, stressed, and riding a rollercoaster of guilt and grief. It seemed like no one really got it, and I felt deeply alone.

Every day I needed a miracle, but when my "Care-y Godmother" didn’t appear, I became my own. I created the concept to support myself—and now others—through caregiving’s unique challenges. I dove into mindfulness-based dementia care, mixed in presence practices, and added in my coaching skills. The approach helped—easing stress, boosting my mom’s well-being, and transforming my caregiving approach.

In 2020, I began working directly with caregivers, bringing fresh ideas, personalized solutions, and creative strategies. By 2023, I had shared my knowledge and lived experience expertise with several organizations, launched a well-viewed web series Therapitic Fibbing, earned a national Caregiving Advocacy Award, and became co-chair of a national advocacy group. In 2024, I created the series Things Not to Say to a Caregiver, completed End of Life Doula training, and co-founded the Care Nation Society to build connection and community among caregivers.

Now, I bring together my personal experience and professional skills to support caregivers and those navigating life’s complexities. With practical tools, empathy, and real-life insights, I help others find clarity, solutions, and ease along their paths.
