Advocacy used to feel big and intimidating until I Advocacy used to feel big and intimidating until I realized that staying silent helps no one and only delays the change we so desperately need for people living with FTD and their care partners.
I spoke at the @theaftd Education Conference about why I speak up and why now is the time for all of us to raise our voices. We’re so much more powerful when we work together.
If you’re ready to take action, AFTD’s advocacy toolkit (link in my bio) has everything you need to get started.
Because real change begins when we’re willing to care out loud 📢💙
#EndFTD
FTD takes and it takes and takes. But this communi FTD takes and it takes and takes.
But this community gives its all.
You give your time, your energy, your love.
I hate that we all have to be in this room… but I’m forever grateful we’ve found each other here. In this fight to #endftd together 💙
It’s Independent Bookstore Day tomorrow! 📘📚
I love making time to browse at the local bookstore. Chatting with people about what they’re reading and getting new recs always fills my soul.
What I’m not great at yet? Telling strangers I’m a new author 😅 Lucky for me, I’ve got a very enthusiastic 10-year-old wingwoman who’s not shy to speak up on my behalf 💁🏼‍♀️📘
So today and whenever you can, show some love and support to your local indie bookstore. There’s so much magic in there. ✨

Yesterday marked a milestone, the reveal of my boo Yesterday marked a milestone, the reveal of my book cover. Thank you for the kind messages, the love, the encouragement, the support. My hope is that this book gives some of that back to you. 
I wrote it for the care partners who feel lost, overwhelmed, or alone. I see you, and I hope these pages do too 💙📘

I’m honored to share the cover of my first book, I’m honored to share the cover of my first book, The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope and Yourself on the Caregiving Path.
Born from grief, shaped by love, and guided by purpose, this is the book I needed back when Bruce was first diagnosed and I was frozen with fear and uncertainty. 
This is the book I trust will help the next caregiver. It is filled with support, insight, and the hope needed to navigate this journey.
The Unexpected Journey comes out on September 9, 2025, and is available now for preorder— link in bio.
This book is for all of us finding our way through the unknown with love, grit, and courage. You are not alone. 💙
