Hi, It’s here. My Caregiving Essentials: What to Say, Do, and Prepare Before Caregiving Becomes Your Second Full-Time Job is officially live on Amazon today. After years of caregiving, months of writing, revising, questioning, and finally letting the book leave my hands, this feels a little surreal. But mostly, I feel grateful. I wrote this book for adult children with aging parents who want to prepare before caregiving becomes overwhelming, especially those of us who are already balancing work, family, responsibilities, and a life of our own. It is the book I wish I had when I took the first steps on my own caregiving journey. Caregiving rarely announces itself. It tends to grow quietly until one day you realize you are managing far more than you ever expected. My hope is that this book helps people prepare earlier, make better decisions, have the conversations that matter, organize the information they will need, and navigate caregiving without losing themselves along the way. I’m making a concentrated run for Amazon bestseller status today, so if you’ve been planning to get a copy, today is the day that your purchase will make the biggest difference. You can order your copy here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HN9KZ9FG And if someone comes to mind while you’re reading this, feel free to forward this email or the link to them. I am also offering a launch-week bonus. Anyone who purchases My Caregiving Essentials between October 27 and October 31 is eligible for a complimentary ticket to my 3-day My Caregiving Essentials Virtual Live Event, January 21-23, 2027. You can find the details for claiming your free ticket at: https://mycaregivingessentials.com Thank you for reading my emails, following this journey, encouraging me, and being part of the community that helped bring this book into the world. Today feels like a pretty big day. With love, Trisha |

Hi, For the past several years, I’ve been immersed in caregiving with my family. It began eleven years ago, when my mom suffered a stroke at the dinner table, and later deepened into a long caregiving journey with my dad. Several months ago, I was sitting by his bedside during one of his many hospital admissions. While he rested, I found myself reflecting on everything that had happened since the cardiac event that began this chapter of our lives more than eight years ago. Over the years,...
Hi, This week’s blog post is a little bit caregiving respite, some RV chaos, a little bit book launch, and a lot about remembering that not everything that goes wrong means everything has gone wrong.

Hi, Sometimes the Universe sends a sign. And sometimes it sends the same message twice just to make sure you’re paying attention. This week, mine showed up in a Facebook memory, an old T-shirt, and something about a tomato.. I just needed to begin. This week’s reflection is about procrastination, synchronicity, and what can happen when we give ourselves a few focused minutes to start.
