The holidays can be complicated—especially for those who are grieving, caregiving, or missing someone they love.

In this episode of Life in the A-Zone, Peggy shares a tender Christmas story from the heart of her Alzheimer’s caregiving journey with her mother. This episode gently holds space for both the grief we carry and the moments of light, laughter, and unexpected joy that still find us.

This episode also marks a soft launch of Life in the A-Zone, the memoir that grew from these stories and lived experiences. What began as a podcast has now become a book—created to offer comfort, connection, and hope to caregivers and families walking this journey.

Peggy also created the Pink Cloud Moments - A Sacred Space Journal for Caregivers, a gentle companion for the holidays and beyond. Designed as a sacred space to pause, reflect, and take care of yourself, the journal offers simple prompts and moments of stillness during a season that can feel overwhelming.

If the holidays feel heavy this year, you are not alone. Take what you need from this episode, and leave the rest.

*A gentle listen—and a loving reminder to care for yourself while caring for others.

You can find Life in the A-Zone—along with the Pink Cloud Moments Caregiver Journal—on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart.com.
