Here’s how real caregivers, just like you, have overcome sandwich generation burnout, tackled sandwich generation financial burden, and learned how to thrive while dealing with aging parents—even those with dementia.
"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
"As a single mom caring for my mom with early-stage dementia, I felt invisible. Kathleen’s program made me feel seen, heard, and supported. She gave me language for the sandwich generation burnout I’d been silently suffering. I now have a plan and a coach I trust who truly gets it."
— Angela, Customer Service Supervisor
"I used to cry in the car before walking into my house. Between caring for my mother who was newly diagnosed with dementia, raising my teenage son, and managing my career—I felt like I was failing everywhere. I didn’t even know the term 'sandwich generation' existed, let alone that there were support systems for people like me.
When I found Kathleen’s Caregiving From The Middle program, I was hesitant. I didn’t think I had time to add one more thing. But what I didn’t realize was—I didn’t need more time. I needed better tools, support, and a different way to think about caregiving.
Kathleen helped me untangle years of guilt, burnout, and pressure. Through her caregiver coaching, I built a practical care plan for my mom, navigated family conversations I’d been avoiding, and most importantly, learned how to honor my own boundaries without shame.
Now, I walk into my house with peace. I’ve reclaimed my voice—not just in caregiving decisions, but in life. I’m not just surviving sandwich generation caregiving anymore. I’m leading it—with clarity, confidence, and compassion.”
"I was one emergency room visit away from breaking. Running my business, caregiving for both aging parents (one with mobility issues, the other with dementia), and managing the emotional fallout of estranged siblings—it all felt like too much. I was consumed by sandwich generation stress and burnout.
I stumbled on Kathleen’s program through a friend, and it was like she was speaking directly to me. Her words gave language to the chaos I was feeling, and her program gave me the space to pause, breathe, and rebuild.
What’s different now? I’ve created systems that allow me to care for my parents with dignity without losing myself. I finally addressed the emotional and administrative burden I was carrying alone. I learned how to delegate, how to say “no” with grace, and how to say “yes” to myself again.
This program didn’t just save me—it changed how I live, love, and lead. Kathleen doesn’t just teach you how to navigate caregiving; she helps you transform through it."
“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.”
