Caregiving has a way of reaching far beyond daily tasks. It touches the nervous system, relationships, identity, and the quiet emotional weight that often goes unseen. At The Caregiving Corner, we believe meaningful support includes caring for the inner world of caregivers, not just the practical demands.

Orange Leaf’s purpose is to inspire people to recapture the joy of creative expression. From seasonal flavors to innovative toppings, they a

This week, Jamee and I said goodbye to our sweet Molly. She was not just our dog. She was the warmth at our feet. The greeter at the door. The steady presence that made our house feel like a home from the very first day she arrived. People always say they have the best dog, and I know that is true for them. But Molly truly was one in a million to us. There is a particular kind of silence that settles in after a beloved pet is gone. The routines remain, but something essential

Caregiving is an act of love but it is also one of the most demanding roles a person can hold. It asks for patience, strength, advocacy, emotional regulation, and decision-making under pressure. Most caregivers don’t plan to become experts in healthcare systems, housing options, or end-of-life conversations. They step in because someone they love needs them. That’s why we’re honored to feature Jaime Slack and Garrett Costley, co-owners of The Brand Is Love, at our caregiver a

There are moments when the noise of life softens just enough for something deeper to reach us. For caregivers, that quiet can be rare. This Christmas season, I had the opportunity to attend Forgotten Carols, a concert created by Michael McLean. While it is often described as a holiday performance, it feels more like an invitation to pause. To remember. To breathe. The music isn’t flashy. It doesn’t rush. It tells stories of ordinary people, quiet service, unseen love, and the

Caregiving often trains the body to stay still. Still through exhaustion. Still through worry. Still through responsibility. So when music invites movement again, it can feel almost surprising. Recently, I attended a live performance by Lindsey Stirling, and it was one of those rare experiences that reminds you what it feels like to be fully alive in your body. Her performance blends music, motion, emotion, and play in a way that bypasses the thinking mind and speaks directly

Thanksgiving is often framed as a day of abundance. Full tables. Full houses. Full hearts. But for caregivers, fullness can mean something different. It can mean a full schedule. A full plate of responsibility. A full body carrying more than it wants to admit. This season, I want to pause and acknowledge something that often goes unspoken. Many caregivers arrive at Thanksgiving tired. Not just physically, but emotionally. Grateful, yes. And also worn thin. If that’s you, you

Sometimes time together comes in unexpected configurations. Recently, we spent a few days at Lake Powell during fall break, celebrating Jamee’s birthday and soaking up the calm that only water and wide space seem to offer. Some of our nieces and nephews were able to come. Others couldn’t. That’s becoming more common as life gets fuller, more complicated, and less synchronized. Caregiving teaches you this early. You learn to work with what is possible instead of waiting for ev

Caregiving can make life feel very serious. Responsibilities stack up. Emotions stay close to the surface. And somewhere along the way, play often slips quietly out the back door. Not intentionally. Just gradually. So when something lighthearted shows up and insists on being enjoyed, it’s worth paying attention. Earlier this year, Jamee gave me a life-size cutout of Derek Hough as a birthday gift. It was ridiculous in the best way. Funny. Unexpected. Completely impractical. W
