Qual-OT of life

Ever hang up the phone with your mom or dad and feel inexplicably exhausted? Or found yourself Googling "is this normal" at 11pm, not sure what you're even asking? You're not alone. 💛

I started The Nobody Warned Us Club because nobody hands adult children a manual for this stage of life. In my latest post, I'm sharing what's come up in our first two gatherings and a few things I want every caregiver to hear.

Episode 5 of Aging Well in KC is LIVE! 🎙️

I had the honor of joining JC, Brian, and Lauren to talk about what it really means to age well at home - aging in place, maintaining independence, creating a safer home, and helping older adults continue living life on their terms.

It's a great conversation filled with practical advice for seniors, caregivers, and families who want to plan ahead and make home work for every season of aging.
