I lost my mom to ALS in October 2025. I write on Medium and create content on YouTube about ALS, practical mental health & life lessons learned.

A personal narrative that connects #NASA’s understanding of astronaut reentry #psychology with the neuropsychological “mission rewiring” seen in astronauts’ brains—and in my own after five years as my mother’s full-time #ALS #caregiver until her death in October 2025. youtu.be/3iaTSIAG_8I?si…

Talking to Google Gemini about my @NotebookLM limits: "While the Google AI Plus (200 GB) tier is marketed as having "higher limits," the reality in 2026 is that these limits are dynamic and often much lower than users expect due to high server demand." #wompwomp I'm over today.

I had a piece published on #Medium today on the striking parallel of the psychological impact on #astronauts after reentry to earth, which happens to be a mirror impact of my own reentry to earth as an #ALS #Caregiver upon my mom's passing. As it turns out, both astronauts and I have more in common than I would have ever imagined. Not to be bias, but it's worth a read.
