Tahnya Brown
In March 2020, as the world shut down and her father began to decline from Alzheimer’s, Tahnya Brown’s life changed.
For the next 1,447 days, she became a full-time caregiver. She navigated isolation, uncertainty, and the slow loss of the father she knew, while holding a family together and quietly disappearing inside the role.
That experience reshaped her life and became the foundation for her memoir, Blurred.
Before caregiving, Tahnya spent more than three decades working in leadership development and organizational change, partnering with Fortune 500 companies and senior executives. Today, her work is rooted in lived experience and shaped by years of guiding others through change.
She writes and speaks about the caregiver experience, identity loss, and what it takes to rebuild a sense of self after everything shifts. Her work explores what happens when women carry too much for too long, when caregiving becomes identity, and how we find our way back after profound personal change.

Caregiving is no longer a personal issue. It's a workforce issue. A financial issue. A health issue. An identity issue.
Tahnya speaks about the hidden realities millions of caregivers navigate every day—the careers interrupted, the relationships strained, the financial consequences, and the quiet question that often emerges beneath it all:
Who am I now?
Through storytelling, research, lived experience, and practical insight, Tahnya helps audiences understand how caregiving reshapes lives and what individuals, employers, and communities can do to keep caregivers functional, employed, healthy, and connected to their own futures.

Emptying our cup is part of life. There are seasons when giving everything we have is necessary. We show up with love, devotion, and commitment—but giving your all eventually takes its toll.
In this conversation with Kacey on SHINE ON! Kacey's Health & Happiness Show, we talk about what happens when caregiving begins to blur your own identity. I share the story behind my book, Blurred, and the lessons I learned about depletion, resilience, and finding your way back to yourself.

Kacey's Health & Happiness Show
I joined Louis Pierro on Life Happens Radio alongside Diane Mickle Gotebiowski of EverHome Care Advisors for an honest conversation about the realities of caregiving.
We discuss why so many people find themselves making life-changing decisions with little preparation, how to navigate the complexities of home care, and the importance of planning before an emergency leaves you with no good options. Whether you're caring for a parent today or want to be prepared for tomorrow, this conversation will help you better understand your options before you're forced to make difficult decisions.
