Does any of this sound familiar?
You’re noticing changes in your aging parent’s health or memory and know you need to have “the conversation” soon, but you’re unsure when or how to approach it.
You feel unprepared and anxious about the road ahead, wondering if you’ll be able to handle the emotional, financial, and logistical challenges.
You’re navigating the profound shift from “adult child” to “parenting your parent,” struggling to adjust to a role reversal you never saw coming.
You’re overwhelmed by complex eldercare decisions, from understanding dementia to choosing the right care options or figuring out Medicaid, so you second-guess every choice.
Legal and estate planning feels like a maze, and every article you read only adds to the confusion, making it impossible to know where to start.
You’re lacking spaces and places in your personal and professional networks where you can share about caring for elderly parents and receive trusted guidance, not random opinions.
You’re neglecting your own well-being because there’s no time left for self-care, and you wonder how other women seem to balance it all.
You feel isolated in your eldercare experience, like no one truly understands what you’re going through or how exhausting and emotionally draining it can be.
You’re not alone. Caring for elderly parents is more common and overwhelming than you think.

Hi, I’m Kathleen Korpela!
Like 70% of sandwich generation family caregivers, I was thrust into a role I never saw coming. To say it rocked my world is an understatement. So, I built the support system and resources I wish I’d had back then.
Like almost 50% of family caregivers, I'd received no formal education, resources, or support. I'd felt alone in making life-altering decisions about someone I loved deeply, armed with only conflicting information and overwhelming uncertainty. Living Goldenwell was born to empower women stepping into eldercare to gain know-how, clarity, and real support.
Caring for elderly parents is one of the hardest and most heart-filled responsibilities. But it shouldn’t come at the cost of your own well-being. That’s where Caregiving From the Middle comes in.

Our Signature Framework
Living Goldenwell is built around a simple but profound belief: Women navigating eldercare deserve more than information. They deserve transformation.
Our Signature Framework is the foundation of everything we do.

You don’t have to go it alone like I did.
I believe your eldercare experience should be a profound journey of personal growth and empowerment - not just survival. You deserve and need relevant support, knowledge, and a clear roadmap that allows you to show up for your loved one without losing yourself in the process.
Caring for elderly parents is hard enough without the right support. Trying to manage everything on your own, without tailored guidance, expert support, and access to the right information can leave you overwhelmed, unprepared, and constantly in crisis mode. Without the right information and a solid plan, eldercare can quickly spiral into an emergency - forcing you to make difficult, high-stakes decisions under pressure. Why risk unnecessary stress, exhaustion, and uncertainty when a better path exists?
With my support, and the support of so many other accomplished and resourceful women, you don’t have to charter new territory alone. Tapping into Living Goldenwell’s comprehensive network of resources and guidance will transform your eldercare experience.
Imagine having peace of mind knowing you have expert guidance to navigate this complex journey. Freeing yourself from the constant guilt or anxiety of wondering if you’re doing enough or doing it right creates the space for joy and fulfillment in your role, and in your relationships with your elderly loved one and those you care about. Developing stronger boundaries and communication skills will empower you in your caregiving role and beyond. When you have a greater sense of control over your circumstances, your stress and overwhelm reduce, generating a greater emotional capacity to recognize and enjoy life’s meaningful moments. Personal strength and resilience is power.
Caregiving From The Middle is so much more than what currently exists out there for daughters seeking practical guidance and emotional support for caring for elderly parents.
I’ve intentionally set out to build the leading one-of-a-kind space that provides connection, education and guidance for professional and entrepreneurial women “in the middle” because it simply does not exist anywhere else. A premium, curated space for women navigating this chapter is badly needed in our world today - to give us all a beacon of hope, a place of refuge and a trusted roadmap beyond the noisy corners of the internet, and beyond our personal networks that can’t truly relate, let alone do something to help us.
Living Goldenwell is the rare voice that knows this season can also be meaningful: that it holds real opportunities for depth, real connection, and even unexpected moments of grace. Reframing aging narratives, from one of fear to one of possibility and growth is important, because a growing number of accomplished and successful women are simultaneously caring for elderly parents while raising families and focusing on their professional ambitions. Navigating this complex terrain requires a reframe of what’s possible when we choose to forge the eldercare experience we truly want to have, so we can have no regrets when all is said and done.
This journey is as much about you as it is your aging parents.

What our community has to say:
I regret not finding you sooner! I spent 12 years caring for my parents, sacrificing my high paying career in the process. It was an incredibly challenging experience, and my mom passed away just five months ago. Although I have no regrets, I'm now facing the frustrating reality of being considered 'old' to re-enter my former career. It's disheartening to see how poorly our country supports caregivers.
It’s so energizing to connect with someone who not only gets it, but is doing something meaningful about it. What you are building is so needed, and I love that you are creating a premium, curated space for women who are navigating this chapter, not just another noisy corner of the internet.

I have successfully tried to connect with others in the same situation and what worked was encouraging them to TRY new things and seek unfamiliar faces to get the best outcomes. I think your focus on this is absolutely amazing...
Shirnaya, Virtual Coach & OBM
This is essential for professional women balancing work and family demands. I gained crucial strategies for managing my own and others' emotions, which was especially helpful as a long-distance caregiver. By applying the concept of curiosity, I unlocked deeper, more open communication with my dad. A truly encouraging and effective program…highly recommended!

After my dad’s dementia diagnosis, I was lost. Kathleen helped me map out a clear care plan, set boundaries with my siblings, and breathe again. I’m not just surviving—I’m leading with confidence.
Maria, Full-time Professional
Meeting Kathleen at a local community event is what first inspired me to join Living Goldenwell. Her passion and commitment to helping women navigate the complexities of caregiving and eldercare immediately stood out - it’s such important and meaningful work.
What I’ve appreciated most since joining is the quality of the community itself. It truly feels like a safe, supportive space to ask questions and receive thoughtful, valuable guidance - not just a flood of opinions. The resources are incredibly well-curated and genuinely helpful.
I would absolutely recommend Living Goldenwell to any woman supporting aging parents or navigating eldercare. Having a trusted community like this has made a huge difference as I navigate care for my mother.

In the middle of it
Hi all, my mom had a fall on Sunday night just a tiny little fall in her living room and taking her back to urgent care this morning to find out if it's a broken wrist or not. I was just telling Kathleen last week that my mom is in pretty status quo mode - crazy how quickly things can change and of course, even though I have two brothers I'm the one picking up the pieces to navigate care and support. It's funny how there is some part of me that is like of course I am in charge for this and OK with that... but so hard to not let little resentments build..... that's all just reminded that I'm not alone by having this group thank you, Kathleen.
As a single mom caring for my mom with early-stage dementia, I felt invisible. Caregiving From The Middle made me feel seen, heard, and supported. It gave me language for the burnout I’d been silently suffering. I now have a plan and a support system I trust who truly gets it. It's been life changing!
Angela, Customer Service Supervisor
What you have built is a safe space to allow women to feel and be ‘human’. No hidden agendas, no fake smiles…just the ability to be authentic and real. Being a caregiver is one of the most “thankless” jobs as you are doing it, making this circle and environment priceless. Congratulations!
Dr. Vicki Wright Hamilton, Strategic Business & Leadership Advisor & Founder of KinKeeper.now
I didn’t even know what I didn’t know. Caregiving From The Middle breaks everything down—insurance, aging, dementia knowledge, self-care and wellbeing—and gave me tools to feel capable and confident.
Elena, First-time Family Caregiver
Before working with Kathleen, I felt like I was drowning—managing my mom’s dementia care, raising two kids, and juggling work. I didn’t even know I was part of the 'sandwich generation' until she named it. Her caregiver coaching gave me practical tools, emotional space, and clarity. Now I feel more in control and far less alone.
Rachel, Project Manager & Caregiver
This community is an invaluable resource for support, expert advice, and genuine connection. Honoured to support this mission and the women behind it!
Ann Marie, Professional Organizing & Decluttering, Community Member & Contributing Expert
Before joining Kathleen’s program, I didn’t even realize how much I was internalizing—resentment, guilt, burnout, all of it. I was snapping at my kids, avoiding conversations with my siblings, and walking on eggshells around my dad, who has dementia. I felt trapped in a role I didn’t choose but couldn’t walk away from. Kathleen helped me name what I was feeling and gave me real tools to express myself without guilt.
One of the biggest shifts? I finally had the hard conversation with my siblings about sharing the load. For the first time in years, we’re on the same page—and I don’t feel so alone anymore. This program gave me more than coping strategies; it gave me my voice back.
Marissa, Working Mom & Sole Caregiver to Her Dad with Dementia
Thank you for providing such a safe, warm, and welcoming place to share such intimate family details. It is a rare gift. I am grateful.
