About Me – Nikki B.
Hi, I’m Nikki B., the heart and voice behind My HD Journal. I never imagined I’d become a caregiver. When I got married over a decade ago, Huntington’s Disease wasn’t even a word in my vocabulary. Like so many people on this path, my life shifted in ways I couldn’t have predicted — emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Caregiving has stretched me, humbled me, and reshaped the way I move through the world.
This Space Is for You If…
you’re a caregiver
you’re overwhelmed, tired, or unsure
you’re doing your best but still wondering if it’s enough
you want real stories, real tools, and real connection
If you’re here, you’re truly not alone.
What You’ll Find Here
Life Lately… (Sundays)
A weekly look into what caregiving really feels like — the small wins, the hard moments, the unexpected joys, and the lessons learned along the way.
Monthly Caregiving Series (Wednesdays)
Each month, I break down a caregiving topic into a four‑part series.
Think: routines, behavior changes, communication, planning, self‑care, and more.
Instagram Updates (Thursdays)
Short reflections, reminders, and encouragement — because sometimes you just need a moment of support in your feed.
Digital Tools for Caregivers
Checklists, trackers, planners, and resources designed to make caregiving a little more manageable.
Created by a caregiver, for caregivers.
