What if caregiving wasn’t just a responsibility - but a pathway to connection, healing, and even personal growth?

Today’s episode is one of the most heartfelt, vulnerable, and deeply human conversations we’ve had on Home After 50.
I’m joined by Amber Chapman - visionary entrepreneur, aging-in-place specialist, founder of Nayberly, and the force behind Villy© and Mezzo©, two tech-forward solutions redefining the caregiving experience for Millennials and the Sandwich Generation.

But what makes this conversation truly special is that Amber isn’t simply building tools for caregivers - she is living the caregiving journey herself, navigating the shift from daughter to primary caregiver while building a rapidly expanding company. Her honesty, faith, humor, and hard-earned wisdom shine through every moment of this episode.

Together we explore:

What We Talk About

• The emotional and spiritual reality of becoming the primary caregiver for a parent
• Why “balance” is a myth - and how to find rhythm instead when life feels overwhelming
• What to look for when visiting aging parents over the holidays: changes in mobility, sight, eating patterns, and social engagement
• How family history and unhealed dynamics reappear when caregiving begins - and what healing can look like across generations
• The importance of community, touch, and connection for older adults
• The inspiration behind Villy©, Amber’s upcoming caregiving coordination app, and how it simplifies communication among siblings and family members
• How to find purpose and grounding when life pulls you into an unexpected caregiving season
