I've talked about my mom's Alzheimer's journey on the podcast before, but today I wanted to shine a light on the side of caregiving no one talks about—the guilt, the resentment, the dark thoughts that make you wonder if you're a terrible person.

Trust feels harder to come by than ever in 2025, and when it's broken in a relationship, the typical advice (endless talking, couples therapy, or trying to control your partner's behavior) often leaves us spinning our wheels or feeling even more traumatized. I'm sharing the somatic approach...
