There’s something surreal about watching a vision you’ve carried in your heart finally take shape in the real world. That’s exactly where I am right now — and I’m thrilled to share that The Perpetual Caregiver is no longer just an idea. It’s here. It’s happening.
This project started in the quiet, sacred chaos of caregiving — through the long nights, the heavy lifts, the awkward moments, and the sacred ones. It’s always been about honoring those who show up for others, even when no one’s watching.
Now, it’s come to life in three exciting ways:
🌐 The Website Is Live
You can now visit theperpetualcaregiver.com — a space created specifically for caregivers and those who love them. This isn’t just a site; it’s a gathering place for real talk, real tools, and real encouragement.
You’ll find:
- Stories that speak the caregiver’s truth
- Updates on my book and events
- Access to the powerful Family Love Letter tool
- Invitations to connect, learn, and laugh a little
📘 The Book Is Coming: Some Asses Just Need Wiping
Yes, that’s really the title — because sometimes the truth just needs to be said plainly.
This book is a collection of moments — funny, raw, emotional, and deeply human. It's for anyone who's ever done the quiet, often thankless work of caregiving. It offers honesty, humor, and the reassurance that you're not alone.
Whether you’re deep in it or reflecting on a season of care, I hope this book feels like a conversation with someone who truly gets it.
🎤 Speaking on the Family Love Letter
I’ve also begun speaking freelance on the Family Love Letter — a thoughtful and compassionate way to help families prepare, plan, and preserve not just financial assets, but emotional clarity and legacy.
It’s powerful work — and it ties beautifully into what The Perpetual Caregiver is all about: showing up with love, planning with purpose, and leaving room for grace.

The Perpetual Caregiver is here to say: You matter. Your caregiving matters. And you’re not in this alone.
