When Is It Too Much to Handle Alone?

Most families don’t ask this question until they’re already running on empty.
Helping a parent can start small. A few appointments. Filling in gaps. Adjusting your schedule.
Over time, it can begin affecting your sleep, your work, and your relationships.
In this short video, I talk about how to recognize when the situation has grown beyond one person and why asking for support isn’t failure.
If you’re feeling stretched thin, you don’t have to carry that alone. I’m always open to talking it through.

When Does Aging Become a Safety Concern?

Aging by itself isn’t automatically a safety issue.
Things slow down. Memory changes. Daily tasks take more time.
The real shift happens when small issues start creating real risk. When the margin for error gets smaller.
In this short video, I talk through how families can recognize that shift and think clearly about what they’re seeing.
If you’re trying to figure this out for someone you love, you don’t have to carry it alone. I’m always open to talking it through.

Am I Overreacting About My Parent?

This is a question most families ask themselves before they ever say it out loud.

It can be hard to tell the difference between normal aging and something that needs more attention. Most people worry they’re making something bigger than it is.

In this short video, I talk through what usually matters and how to tell the difference between a bad moment and a real pattern.

If this question has been on your mind, you don’t have to carry it alone. I’m always open to talking it through.

I talk with a lot of adult children who are helping care for a parent, either at home or in assisted living. Most of them are doing their best and still wondering if it’s enough.

I recorded this short video to speak to that feeling. It’s not advice and it’s not a pitch. Just a reminder that uncertainty and overwhelm are part of caring deeply.

This is a question families usually ask when things are already feeling heavy.
Do we bring more help into the home, or is it time to consider a move?
Most families hope in-home care will solve everything. Sometimes it helps a lot. Other times, the hours, cost, and coordination add up faster than expected.
On the other side, the fear of moving someone out often centers on connection and dignity. Will they still feel known. Will the little things be taken care of.
There isn’t one right answer. The goal is understanding the trade-offs early, before decisions are forced by exhaustion or crisis.
If this question is on your mind, you’re not alone.

Caregiver burnout doesn’t usually happen all at once.
It builds slowly as you juggle everything for someone you love.
If you feel worn down or overwhelmed, that doesn’t mean you’re failing. It usually means you care deeply and you’ve been carrying too much on your own.
Avoiding burnout isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about creating space to rest and still live your own life.
Support doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Respite care, community resources, in home care, or residential options can all help create breathing room.
You matter too.
