When my younger brother was diagnosed with a lifelong disability, my family had to learn fast—about medical care, adaptive tools, and yes, money. It felt like a full-time job just to untangle the paperwork and understand what help was even out there.

Want a Better Relationship? Start With These Home Upgrades
As someone who’s spent years helping people beautify their homes and budgets, I’ve learned something big: the way we shape our living spaces can seriously shape our relationships too. And no, I don’t mean you need to install a hot tub or knock down walls (unless you’re into that!). I’m talking about intentional tweaks that make home feel more like a shared sanctuary—and less like a stress zone.
