This week on Home After 50, Juli welcomes Erin DiCarlo, founder of Dovetail Companies and a nationally recognized Age-Well Expert with more than 22 years of experience supporting older adults and their families.
In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, we explore why the holiday season tends to magnify family dynamics, caregiving stress, grief, and the emotional load so many women - especially adult daughters - carry at this time of year.
Erin brings both professional expertise and an extraordinary personal toolkit to this episode. As a Certified Neuro-Somatic Practitioner and Certified Essential Emotions Coach, she blends nervous-system–based healing modalities with decades of practical wisdom to help people find more calm, connection, and capacity in stressful moments.
Together, Juli and Erin dive into:
• What really causes holiday overwhelm for women, caregivers, and aging parents
• How to navigate sensitive caregiving moments with less urgency and more presence
• Why older adults sometimes resist help - and how to support them without triggering fear or defensiveness
• Simple nervous system tools (including the “Lip Gloss Drill”) to interrupt stress in real-time
• How anticipatory grief, loss, and life transitions show up during the holidays
• Ways to create meaningful connection with aging parents, even when circumstances are complicated
• How to set boundaries without guilt and redefine what “showing up” can look like
This episode is emotional, relatable, and full of practical steps you can use during the holidays and beyond. Whether you’re caring for an aging parent, supporting a loved one, or simply trying to stay grounded this season, you’ll walk away with tools that genuinely help.
