When we’re caregiving, it’s easy to get stuck in frustration, grief, and overwhelm—especially when we believe that our circumstances shouldn’t be happening. But what if we stopped resisting reality and started seeing things as just facts?
In this episode, I talk about how our thoughts—not the circumstances themselves—shape our emotions. I share real-life examples, including my own struggles with resisting problems, and explain how shifting our mindset can help us regain a sense of control. By learning to accept what is and choosing how we want to think about it, we free up energy for what truly matters.
If you’re feeling stuck in the weight of caregiving, this episode will give you a simple but powerful tool to help you move forward with more peace and clarity.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
