"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.”
