Holistic Health Support for Stressed Midlife Women Managing Chronic Illness, Burnout & Caregiving

I'm a Gen X woman & a registered nurse with over 20 years of experience—most of it spent supporting older adults and the families who care for them.

 

But this isn’t just professional for me—it’s deeply personal. I was a teenager when my grandma moved in with us due to dementia. Later, I walked with my dad through cancer, home hospice, & his death. Now, I’m navigating family members' aging journeys—each with their own health struggles & care needs.

​

This is the reality for so many midlife women: managing chronic stress, caregiving, & our own health a distant last priority as we continuously hold up everyone else.

​

And here’s what I’ve learned watching the generations before us age with declining health: it doesn’t have to be this way.

​

Caregiving cracked something open in me—it sparked a holistic health journey grounded in research, real life, and the reality of our broken healthcare system.

 

Now, I combine what I know as a nurse with what I’ve lived.

 

Front Porch Nurse is all about using research-based strategies & integrative healthcare approaches to help Gen X women like us create individualized wellness plans that actually make us feel better every day.
