Caring for someone you love with dementia can leave you feeling lost at sea.

You will become aware of how shifts to your mindset help you see caregiving and dementia in a whole new way so you can release some of the stress and find more joy
You will gain knowledge related to dementia so you can better understand what's happening and care for your loved one and yourself more effectively

You will discover how to nurture your own mind, heart, and spirit with compassion and creativity so self-care isn't out of reach

Hi! We're Lisa & Laura.

We have both seen firsthand how isolating and overwhelming the experience of dementia caregiving can be.

Our vision for this community is to connect caregivers to each other and to experts who are passionate about helping you, so that you have tools to cut through the chaos and confusion and know that you are not alone.

We're so glad you're here.
