Caregiving Awareness, Reflection, & Embodied Support

03/07/2026

The book explores two different ways of living life: the aesthetic life and the ethical life. The aesthetic life focuses on pleasure, experiences, beauty, and avoiding commitment, living for enjoyment and the moment. In contrast, the ethical life is about responsibility, commitment, moral values, and making meaningful long-term choices, such as marriage, duty, and personal integrity.

Through fictional voices and essays, the book shows that people cannot avoid choosing between these ways of life. The title “Either/Or” reflects the idea that life requires decisive choices, and refusing to choose is itself a choice that shapes who we become. Kierkegaard’s deeper message is that individuals must stop merely “performing” for society and instead consciously choose the kind of life and self they want to become.

Journaling can be revolutionary.

It’s what our bodies and nervous systems have been doing forever: internally regulating to our environments and finding flow.

And when people experience this process for themselves for the first time, there’s often surprise at how much richness in their writing they can access with ease.

What makes journaling different, and what people are so struck by, is that this method takes physical, somatic processes directly into the terrains of imagination, language, and story.

And it's this connection between language, the body, and the creative process.

My new book that addresses caregiving is coming out soon!

Written by a psychologist with both clinical expertise and lived caregiving experience, this book offers a compassionate, integrative guide to the realities of caregiving. It explores what caregiving truly involves, its emotional, physical, relational, and financial toll—alongside its potential for meaning—while addressing what caregivers need, how families and providers can support them, and how culture and autonomy shape the caregiving experience. The second part invites reflective journaling through the psychological and emotional landscapes of caregiving, examining mental health supports, burden, grief, perfectionism, burnout, and restoration, as well as caregiving for individuals with cognitive impairment, mental health challenges, chronic or terminal illness, and children with complex needs. Grounded in both professional insight and lived truth, the book offers a concise yet deeply humane roadmap for sustaining caregivers, families, and systems of care.
