My time navigating the wilds of aging-in-place and caregiving with Bethyl ended when she left us in April 2023. While I was my mother’s full-time caregiver, I decided to pursue training in positive psychology coaching, not realizing how helpful it would be in the day-to-day challenges of caring for someone with dementia. When that life ended, I decided to expand my studies and enrolled as a graduate student. I have completed my dual specialization in Positive Organization Development and Digital Transformation Leadership (graduate certificates) and expect to complete my Master’s in May 2027.
