Why “Yes” Can Be Dangerous in Dementia Caregiving

Why “Yes” Can Be Dangerous in Dementia Caregiving
In dementia caregiving, saying “yes” to keep your loved one happy can sometimes put them at risk. In this video, you’ll learn why safety must come before constant smiles and how to set limits without drowning in guilt. I’ll share real examples of situations caregivers face, like driving, cooking, finances, and living alone, where “yes” can quickly turn into harm. You’ll also hear a simple motto that helps caregivers feel more confident saying no: “Love says no when yes is dangerous.” What about you? Have you ever had to say no to your loved one for safety reasons? Share your experience in the comments so other caregivers know they aren’t alone.

What Caregivers Feel Guilty About (But Shouldn’t)
Many caregivers feel guilty about things they shouldn’t...asking for help, taking time for themselves, even going to a doctor’s appointment. In this video, I share real examples of why caregivers feel guilty, what that guilt does to your health, and how to finally let go of it. I’ll show you why guilt shows up, how to recognize when your mind is being too harsh, and one simple shift that can help you release it. You deserve grace and compassion just as much as your loved one does. What’s one thing you’ve felt guilty about as a caregiver that, looking back, you know you didn’t need to?

5 Strange Dementia Symptoms (And How to Handle Them)
Careblazer, have you ever looked into your loved one’s eyes and heard something like, “You’re not my wife” or “Someone’s stealing from me”? It is confusing, scary, and can break your heart.

What I Wish I Knew About the Stages of Dementia
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “What stage of dementia is my loved one in?” you’re not alone. I used to think there was a clear answer. I thought if I could just figure out the stage, I’d know what to expect and how to plan ahead. But the truth is, it’s a lot more complicated than that. In this video, I’m sharing what I wish I knew sooner about the stages of dementia. I’ll go over the different staging systems, like the 3-stage model, the GDS, and the FAST scale. I’ll also explain why your loved one might not fit neatly into any stage and what that actually means for your caregiving. Links: Want more tips, tools, and encouragement for your caregiving journey?

This One Brain System Is Secretly Making Caregiving Harder
What if your brain was unintentionally making dementia caregiving even harder… without you realizing it? I’m walking you through a brain system that plays a big role in your daily stress, reactions, and what you tend to notice as a caregiver. It’s called the Reticular Activating System (RAS), and it plays a huge role in what you notice, how you feel, and the results you experience in your caregiving journey. This isn’t about pretending things are fine. It’s about understanding how your brain works, so you can finally start using it to help you, instead of working against you. 💌 I first shared this idea in a personal email to my Dementia Dose newsletter, and thousands of caregivers replied asking for more.
