Join us for the first special episode, Caring with Confidence: Self-Care While Supporting a Parent with Parkinson’s. Lianna Marie—author, speaker, and lifelong advocate whose mother lived with Parkinson’s for 30 years—shares honest insights from her caregiving journey. Now a member of the APDA team working to raise awareness of PD every day, Lianna will share practical strategies for setting healthy boundaries, recognizing caregiver burnout, and finding balance while continuing to show up fully for the person you love. Click to Register.
