Sometimes being upside down will give you, well, a different perspective!

When someone has dementia, it's hard to know when it's appropriate to take the person into an emotionally charged situation, like a funeral. In this episode I share what our family experience was when my father in law passed away, with my mother in law, who has dementia.

There can be a lot of judgement and expectations from other people, but you can't worry about them.  There is a key question you need to ask yourself.

What are the little signs that show up for you find reassuring?  Life can be pretty overwhelming, and I'm so grateful that my mind has chosen something to bring me reassurance that I'm not on this journey alone.  That God has my back.  

For 10 years our "Friends" gathered at Central Perk, sharing the highs and lows of life, celebrating each other, calling each other out (in a loving way) and having each others back.

Over the weekend, I was thinking about the 7 years I was the family "helper" for my grandmothers and the many highs and lows of that time. I was in my late 20's/early 30's, so you know I was glued to Must See TV every week. I was also growing my family and caring for these women I love, so there were a lot of challenges at the time.

This is a solid question I've been pondering lately as our family has had 3 loved ones pass away over the last 6 months.  Pretty tough stuff.  

In this episode I share my mom's words of wisdom (as I remember them), and the reflections I've had on what the point is, and the mindset to consider for why we show up each day for ourselves and the people we love.  

I'm walking away from recording this fired up to make the most of this day.  I hope you do too!

Sometimes it's the little things that really can make a difference!  What do you think of when you think of self-care?  There are so many little things we can do for ourselves that can help our bodies and mindset.

Here's a list of about 60 things I could think of starting at the top of your head, working your way down to your toes.  Take care of yourself! It's the only way you can show up for the people you love.

Time and time again, I've heard family members voices rise with frustration and they ask their loved one questions that the person CAN NOT answer.  In this episode I talk about why this is happening and what you can do to improve your interactions with the people that you're taking care of.

Helping aging family members can end up being a significant season or chapter of our lives and feel like a slow, challenging, marathon.  There are times when a sprint is required, working through a certain event like a hospital stay or new decline.  It can all feel pretty overwhelming at times.  Just like a marathon, you can do it self-supported, but it's REALLY nice to have people by your side or in the wings cheering you on!

I don't like feeling angry, so when I recently felt totally enraged over something, I wanted to have a better understanding of why this thing pissed me off so much and then calm down so I could get back to enjoying my day.

Let's face it, when helping an aging family member, there are a lot of opportunities to get upset.  Here I share a strategy to better understand why this is happening and next steps to move towards your actual desired outcomes.

If you're a middle age woman and wonder if you're alone in all the things we're dealing with, your not.  The book I reference in this episode is, Midlife Bites: Anyone Else Falling Apart or Is It Just Me? By Jen Mann
