GATHER | Andrea Hughes, Caregiver, Author and Speaker @itsandreakrystal

Gather Darlings

We LOVED this conversation with Andrea Hughes. She shares with us the story of care for her mom with young-onset Alzheimer’s, discovering self-compassion, how to find the support you need, and the ways she empowers other caregivers through her sharing and vulnerability. Focusing on joy, being creative, staying present in the moments, and bringing playfulness in the care has enriched Andrea’s life in many ways.

Her mom bought Andrea her first journal when she was 7 years old. She's also share with us how this practice has been her life’s reflection on the raw, real, heartbreaking, love and joy that shares the story of her resilience. A reminder for all caregivers on the power of journaling.

Andrea is an author and dedicated caregiver, deeply committed to nurturing a community grounded in empathy and support. Juggling the responsibilities of caring for her mom, who is courageously facing early-onset Alzheimer’s, with her professional pursuits, Andrea champions the power of honest, vulnerable dialogues surrounding life’s complexities and the caregiving journey.
