You don’t need a perfect plan to start a new year.
You don’t need a polished reflection or a silver-lining recap.
If you’re feeling tired, stretched thin, or just trying to catch your breath, this space is still for you.
That’s something 2025 made very clear to me:
Caregivers don’t need more pressure. They need to be met exactly where they are.
Not where they “should” be. Not where someone else thinks they should be.
Right here. In the mess, the beauty, the unknowns.
What 2025 Taught Me
This past year, I connected with more caregivers than ever- through blog comments, emails, coaching calls, and quiet DMs sent late at night.
And what I kept hearing wasn’t just about behavior or burnout or boundaries (though we talked about all of that). It was this:
“I just want to know I’m not doing it wrong.”
So I wrote about that. I wrote about bathroom struggles, driving changes, nighttime anger, program support, and holiday overwhelm. I shared the tools I use with my clients and the moments that stop me in my tracks.
Here are a few posts caregivers found most helpful:
- Enhancing Mealtime Experiences in Dementia Care: Strategies for Caregivers
- Dementia and Driving: A Caregiver’s Guide to Managing Transportation
- Keeping the Holidays Calm and Safe When Caring for Someone with Dementia
- The GUIDE Program Explained: What Dementia Caregivers Need to Know
