Imagine stepping into a caregiving role with the same clarity and grace you'd bring to your most cherished relationships. Mike Spillman, an international motivational speaker, shares that family caregiving—especially around the holidays—often feels overwhelming, with emotions running high and patience running thin. But Mike believes it doesn’t have to drain you. With his "DIRRT method," which is applicable to any relationship, you can transform the experience for yourself and the loved one you’re caring for. It starts with a clear decision on what you want to accomplish, then identify the roadblocks in your way. Remove those obstacles, and replace them with support that moves you forward. Transformation isn’t instant, but as Mike explains, you’ll feel it as you learn to care with love and self-respect, creating a lasting positive impact for you and those you hold dear. Mike’s mission is to save 100 marriages before the end of 2025. It’s easy to see how caregiving and rational problem-solving make a good pair.

About Me:

I have cared for many family members across the life span, experiencing the joys and challenges of child-rearing, the poignance of caring for parents, friends, and elder partners. I realized that I could not handle the stress of family caregiving 24/7/365. It was time for a new approach to caring. My health and happiness were slipping away. This is how Think to Thrive for Caregivers evolved. Let your mind meet your heart so you don’t lose track of your life.
