Not just WHAT we say—but HOW we say it.

In care settings, words can calm or escalate, clarify or confuse, soften or deepen fear. Tone, pacing, and honesty shape an experience just as much as any medical intervention.

Care isn’t only delivered through treatments.
It’s delivered through language, presence, and the way we meet one another in vulnerable moments.

In our recent conversation with caregiver and artist Andrea Schell, we explored new ways of thinking about illness and caregiving. One powerful reframe stayed with us: our bodies are allowed to get sick, and each of us will experience mental or physical decline in some form. There’s a permission in naming that truth—we are allowed.

Head to the Library of Recordings link in our bio👆(or click here:https://shorturl.at/rmbrW) to hear more from Andrea reflecting on a decade of caring for her mother.

While her personal experience centers on dementia, her insights on caregiving, illness, and being human will resonate beyond one diagnosis.

Funeral costs can feel overwhelming—especially when decisions have to be made quickly in a state of grief.

Taking time beforehand to understand how funeral pricing works helps families make choices that align with their values, needs, and budget. Knowledge brings clarity, reduces stress, and allows space to focus on what truly matters: honoring a life and supporting one another.

Do you have a funeral planning story to share? We’d love to hear it.

Does this image of peace ring true for you?
Does it feel comforting, unsettling, or something else entirely?

Caring for someone living with dementia will many times be a long journey, the idea of time begins to change. And it’s easy for caregivers to focus so much on their loved one that their own needs get overlooked.

Join us for this supportive webinar to reframe ideas around caring for someone while also nurturing your own resilience and nervous system health—essential for sustaining care over the long term.

You’ll leave with new insights and a reminder that taking care of yourself is part of taking care of them.

Have you had a parent die—and now you’ve reached the age they were when they passed? How does it feel to be here now? Does it hit differently than it used to?

And, if you’re open to sharing: who were they to you, and how old were they when they died?
