Conversations about aging, caregiving, and end-of-life planning are hard and often put off until a crisis forces families to have them.

Donna speaks with humor, warmth, hard-won wisdom about the emotional and practical realities families face as parents age, encouraging everyone to have the hard conversations before things get even harder.

Drawing on her background as a journalist, writer, professional communicator, funeral celebrant, and personal caregiver, Donna helps audiences navigate difficult conversations with greater clarity, compassion, and courage.

Her talks blend storytelling, practical guidance, and emotional truth—offering audiences not just information, but deeper understanding, practical tools, and the reassurance that they are not alone.
