A Pleasant Solution: Embracing an Organized Life

84 | Lessons Learned from 5 Years of Caregiving


Listen Later

Today, I’m sharing a personal update on my journey as a caregiver over the past five years. My mom was diagnosed with dementia a bit over five years ago, and these years have been filled with challenges, humor, and countless lessons. In this episode, I’ll offer insights into supporting aging loved ones, recognizing that every family dynamic is unique.

As a professional organizer and active member of the Institute for Challenging Disorganization, I’ve gained valuable knowledge about the intersection of clutter and aging. I’ll share practical tips on maintaining a compassionate approach to caregiving, plus key phrases and perspectives that have supported me in this role.

Listen now and join the conversation on how we can all contribute to a more compassionate approach to elder care. I hope this episode offers you valuable insights and support as you navigate your caregiving journey. 


And join me as I extend an open invitation to you—to be part of the "100 Hours of Listening" initiative. Whether you're a friend, past client, silent listener, or a fellow professional, your voice matters. This isn't a sales pitch or a consultation; it's an opportunity for you to be heard, without cost or obligation, in a non-judgmental space.
