Episode 108: The Christmas Bill That Is Still Here in June

The Christmas bill is still here. And it is June. If you have been making payments since the new year and the balance is moving slower than you hoped, you are in good company. Researchers describe what you are feeling as a loop, and the way out has almost nothing to do with the numbers. This episode is for the woman who thought this would be gone by now. The woman who feels a little tug of “should have known better” every time she taps the banking app. We are looking at why a lingering bill feels heavier than the number on the screen, what the research actually says about financial stress and mental well-being, and one small thing you can do this week without spreadsheets, math, or guilt. Here is what you will walk away with: a clear way to see what the bill is and is not, a fresh handle on the difference between responsibility and shame, and a small first step that meets you exactly where you are. SCRIPTURE HIGHLIGHT: Proverbs 24:16. Research note: Financial Health Network on the connection between financial stress and mental well-being. Ready for your next step?

Episode 107: Loving Someone Who Does Not Remember You

If you are loving someone whose mind is slipping away from you — a parent with dementia, a husband with Alzheimer's, a sibling or friend whose memory keeps shrinking — the grief you carry has a name. Most people will never name it for you. So we are doing it here. In this episode, I sit with one of the most under-discussed experiences in the sandwich generation: caregiver grief. The kind that begins long before a funeral. The kind that comes with no casserole and no recognized mourning period. By the end of this conversation, you will: •  Recognize the specific kind of grief you have been carrying — and why it has felt so heavy and so invisible •  Understand what one researcher means when she says closure is a myth, and why that reframe matters for women in long-haul caregiving •  Walk away with two small, doable steps to help you steady yourself this week SCRIPTURE HIGHLIGHT: Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV) Research note: This episode references the work of Pauline Boss on ambiguous loss, the program of research on anticipatory grief in dementia caregivers led by Franziska Meichsner and Gabriele Wilz, and demographic data from the Alzheimer's Association 2024 and 2026 Facts and Figures reports.
