The Brutal Truth About Caregiving (That No One Tells You) | Lisa Berlanga

Most caregiver advice is soft—"take care of yourself," "you're not alone," "have hope." Lisa Berlanga isn't here to give you empty comfort. She's been through it—caring for her mother with dementia while raising three children—and she wrote Dementia in the Raw: Confessions of a Caregiver UNCENSORED because she believes caregivers need honesty, not just hope.She shares the raw truth about burnout, why "just being hopeful" isn't enough, the four stages of the caregiver journey, and the practical "Gold Solutions" that made a real difference in her life. This conversation is for anyone who is tired of suffering in silence and needs tools that actually work—not platitudes.
