I’m really grateful to share that I’ve completed a certificate in Mental Health & Aging through the Center for Mental Health & Aging.šŸ’ššŸ’œ

This work matters deeply to me. Aging, caregiving, and mental health are intertwined — and so often families are navigating all three at once, quietly and without much support.

This training adds another layer of understanding to the work I do with caregivers, families, and organizations, and I’m thankful for the thoughtful guidance from and the community.

Always learning. Always deepening the work.

Caregivers don’t crumble because they’re weak

They hit the wall because the load never ends

If you’ve been wondering why the simplest task suddenly feeling impossible this is why

Your nervous system is waving the flag

This isn’t a personal failing it’s a capacity issue

It also means you can adjust, resource and rebuild

šŸ‘‰Save this for when you start blaming yourself again

Caregiving comes with an absurd amount of stuff šŸ„“šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

Meds, mail, paperwork, supplies, chargers, and random ā€œparent stuffā€

When those things don’t have a home, they end up living in your brain.

And your brain is already running at max capacity.

Baskets help create categories — for meds, for mail, for paperwork, for the ā€œparent stuffā€ that doesn’t belong anywhere but somehow matters.

Perfection and aesthetics aren’t the goal. Containment is.

When the overwhelm isn’t emotional but logistical, a category system keeps your brain from burning energy on tasks that shouldn’t require thinking in the first place.

If you’re caring for an aging parent or loved one and want more strategies that preserve bandwidth and sanity, follow alongšŸ’ššŸ’œ

Resentment scares caregivers because it feels harsh.

Resentment is just your mind saying ā€œI’m out of bandwidth and I don’t feel supportedā€ it doesn’t make you ungrateful or disrespectful.

It means you’ve maxed out.

Adjust the structure, redistribute tasks or bring in help.

You don’t have to white knuckle your way through it!

You get to matter in the story toošŸ’ššŸ’œ
