Summer days ☀️ Summer days ☀️
A few years ago, I couldn’t have told you much a A few years ago, I couldn’t have told you much about brain health.
Today, I know that while we can’t control everything, there is so much we can do to support our brains. I find that incredibly empowering.
This World Brain Day, I’m choosing to focus on hope, not fear. On the small, everyday choices that add up over time. Because taking care of our brains isn’t about being perfect but intentional.
I’d love to hear from you. What’s one thing you’re doing to support your brain health? And if you’re not sure where to start, follow @maketimewellness for actionable ways to support your brain today.

This week on the blog, hospice social worker Lisa Pahl, creator of The Dementia Deck, explores something many families don’t talk about until they’re forced to…What would your loved one want if they could no longer make their wishes known?
Through her work supporting families at the end of life, Lisa has seen firsthand how conversations about values, wishes, and quality of life can bring clarity, confidence, and peace during some of the most difficult moments a family will face.
During my book tour for The Unexpected Journey, I met Lisa, who introduced me to the wonderful conversation tool she created called The Dementia Deck. Designed to help families navigate topics that can feel overwhelming to discuss, it’s thoughtful, approachable, and a meaningful way to begin talking about what matters most before difficult decisions need to be made.
