After an Alzheimer's or Dementia Diagnosis...
Get the Help You Need to Navigate the Legal, Financial, and Emotional Challenges
We’re a mother-daughter duo who’ve spent our careers helping families navigate the Alzheimer’s or dementia journey. But beyond our professional experience, we’ve also walked the tender, often heartbreaking path of caregiving ourselves.
Scroll down to discover our podcast, resources, and information about our sister organization, the Million Dollar Solution (MDS) -- a national network of attorneys who share our deep commitment to aging clients and their families.
Wherever you are on your caregiving journey, we are honored to be your trusted resource for insight, answers, and community.

The Caregiver Toolkit
Everything you need, all in one place.
When you're in the thick of caregiving, keeping track of medications, appointments, contacts, insurance information, care preferences, and important documents can feel overwhelming. The Caregiver Toolkit helps you organize it all so the information you need is always within reach.
Created by caregivers who've lived it, this practical workbook gives you one place to keep everything that matters.
The Planning & Protecting Way
Legal Guidance
When the path forward feels uncertain, the right legal guidance changes everything.
Whether you're navigating long-term care planning, protecting assets, or making crucial decisions for aging loved ones, you deserve an attorney who truly understands. Our national network of elder law and estate planning professionals—all part of the Million Dollar Solution—brings both expertise and compassion to the complexities you're facing. They don't just know the law; they know what families like yours are going through.
Emotional Support
You're not walking this path alone—and you don't have to be strong every single minute.
Our "Hey Woman" podcast is your companion through the messy, beautiful, heartbreaking reality of caregiving. Hosted by mother-daughter duo Julie and Cortney, each episode creates space for honest conversations about what caregiving really looks like—the laughter, the tears, the moments of grace, and the days that test everything you've got. This is where caregivers gather to feel seen, heard, and a little less alone.
Dementia Directive
The conversations you don't want to leave unfinished deserve to happen now.
Dementia can gradually change a person's ability to communicate, make decisions, and express what matters most. This guide helps you document your values, care preferences, and wishes while you can still speak for yourself, giving loved ones meaningful guidance when they may need it most. Complete it at your own pace and share it with the people you trust.

Our Podcast: "Hey woman"
Welcome to Hey Woman, a podcast where caregiving, grief, and resilience take center stage.

With equal parts empathy and humor, Hey Woman celebrates strength, honors legacy, and creates a warm community for anyone navigating the caregiving journey.
Why We're Doing This
Caregiving isn’t just about taking care of someone—it’s about navigating emotions, finding purpose in the chaos, and sometimes wrestling with grief that feels unbearable. Hey Woman is about the transformative power of sharing these stories and holding space for one another. This podcast is our way of creating connection—a space for caregivers to laugh, cry, and feel seen.

Now, through the "Hey Woman" podcast she co-hosts with her daughter Cortney, Julie shares that wisdom—creating honest conversations and genuine community for caregivers who need both practical guidance and permission to feel everything they're feeling. Because protecting families isn't just what Julie does—it's who she is.
