Just Popped in My Head: Adult Kids. Aging Parents.

Welcome to Just Popped in My Head: Adult Kids, Aging Parents.

This channel is for adult children trying to help aging parents while also dealing with their own health, work, relationships, stress, responsibilities, and unfinished life.

Here, I talk about the practical side of helping parents, the emotional side nobody fully prepares you for, and the strange, frustrating, sometimes darkly funny reality of trying to carry both their life and your own at the same time.

You will find honest stories, straightforward advice, hard truths, useful guidance, and the occasional laugh when things feel especially heavy.

This is not about pretending caregiving is graceful all the time.
This is about telling the truth, helping where I can, and making room for the fact that adult kids are going through things too.

If you are navigating aging parents and trying not to lose yourself in the process, you are in the right place.
