My mission is to empower caregivers with the tools and strategies needed to block burnout, reduce stress, and learn to laugh again. As a 3x caregiver for my dad with Parkinson's, My mother-in-law who had Alzheimer's, and my mom, who had vascular dementia for 21 years, I understand the caregiver journey better than most. I have the training to understand the changes taking place in the brain, plus the in-the-trenches knowledge to have created many possible solutions. I say "possible" because there are no guarantees with dementia. It might work today and not tomorrow or this morning but not tonight. Caregivers know a particular type of multi-tasking, creativity, improv, and patience, as well as what total exhaustion feels like. I'm here to help you avoid the latter.
I created The Purple Vine LLC after getting my certifications as a Caregiving Consultant & Advocate. We empower caregivers, both private and professional, to reduce their stress, Block Burnout, and learn to Laugh again. Our website, https://www.thepurplevine.com has blog articles, a newsletter, and FREE resources for caregivers. I am Lead Author on a collaboration book published by Brave Healer Productions, called The Caregiver's Advocate, A Complete Guide to Support & Resources. It was just released on July 2, 2024, yet it has already become an International Bestseller in the U.S., U.K., Israel, and Canada! Debbie will sign a copy and mail to you from her website. https://thepurplevine.thrivecart.com/the-caregivers-advocate/ Debbie has created 11 other books, all on Amazon and most are on her website. She believes there is always joy to be found, sometimes we just have to look harder to find it.
