New year, new approach! 🎉

This year, my husband and I ditched traditional resolutions for yearly themes.

His: "Year of Movement" - walks, kitchen dance parties, yoga, and stretching.
Mine: "Year of Family" - more time with nieces and nephews, quality connections.

The best part? These themes can't fail. Every small choice that aligns is a success. No guilt when we choose differently.

This mirrors what I tell my clients: the key to aging well is to KEEP DOING. Keep engaging in what you love, adapting as needed, but never stopping.

What will your theme be this year? 💭

It's that time of year again. Social media is flooded with ambitious New Year's resolutions: lose 20 pounds, run a marathon, read 52 books, finally organize that garage. And by February? Most of us have quietly abandoned ship, feeling like we've already failed at the year before it's barely begun.

November is National Family Caregiver Appreciation Month, and this one's for YOU. 💙

To the adult children juggling it all...
To the spouses standing steadfast...
To the grandparents who stepped up...
To the parents of kids with different abilities...
To the professional caregivers who turn clients into family...

You are strong. You are resilient. You are kind.
But you're also exhausted, isolated, and often underappreciated.

This month, we see you. We appreciate you. And we want you to know—you matter.

If you're a caregiver, consider this your permission slip to pat yourself on the back and treat yourself to something special this week. You've earned it.

If you know a caregiver, reach out to them today. A text, a meal, an offer to help—it all matters.

Read the full post for self-care reminders and ways qualOT of life can help take things off your plate. 👇

November is National Family Caregiver Appreciation Month, and if you're reading this as someone who provides care for another person—in any capacity—this month is dedicated to you .

🎉 Happy National Family Caregivers Month! 🎉

Tomorrow marks the beginning of November—a month dedicated to recognizing and supporting the incredible family caregivers in our community. And I can't think of a better way to kick it off than celebrating Sandwiched KC!

Sandwiched KC is a nonprofit that provides FREE information, referrals, support groups, education, and self-care activities for family caregivers in the Kansas City metro area. Their mission is to create opportunities for caregivers to find local support and shared wisdom—and they do it beautifully!

I'm honored to be part of their Heartland Caregiving Conference tomorrow (November 1st), and I'm so grateful we have this incredible resource right here in Kansas City! 💙

Caregivers: you are seen, you are valued, and you are not alone. Here's to a month of celebrating YOU!

Hearing Hint #8: Rephrase Instead of Repeat + Bonus Tip
🔁 If someone doesn’t catch what you said, try rephrasing instead of repeating the same words louder—some phrases are easier to understand than others.
🚫 And please, never say “never mind.” Brushing someone off can feel dismissive and isolating.
✅ Everyone deserves to stay in the conversation.
