What happens when the person you love begins to slip away and you still have something to say? In this episode of Beyond the Bestseller, Kelly interviews Dawn Wirtz, author of Memories Matter, about her deeply personal journey as a long-distance caregiver for her mother with Alzheimer’s. Dawn shares how the emotional weight of caregiving led her to write a book not just to process her experience, but to support others walking a similar path.


We dive into:
• How Dawn’s search for emotional connection led her to write the book she couldn’t find
• The therapeutic writing process that helped her cope with her mom’s Alzheimer’s
• How opportunities unfolded through genuine relationships and volunteering
• What it means to share your story without trying to build a brand or business
• Why community, feedback, and the Author Power Circle played a key role in her journey
