The Adapted Life, Finding Next
I’m Julie Hasselberger. For 26 years, I was the full-time caregiver for my beloved son Daniel, whose life was marked by profound disability and extraordinary beauty. This podcast began as a way to support other parents navigating the complex, often isolating world of special needs caregiving. But life changed — heartbreakingly and irrevocably — when my son passed away.
Now, The Adapted Life, Finding Next is a space for truth-telling, tenderness, and transformation. It’s about what comes after the role that once defined you is gone. It’s about grief, relational trauma, resilience, and the raw, ongoing search for next — for purpose, healing, and connection.
If you’re facing a season of reckoning, rebuilding, or rediscovery, I invite you to walk with me. You are not alone. This is the adapted life… and together, we’ll find what comes next.
The Adapted Life, Finding Next
Tending to your energy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we talk about what we do once we are experiencing awareness of our energy. Not fixing it, but just being aware of gentle ways to tend to that energy.
WHAT TENDING IS
Tending to your energy is not about fixing yourself.
It’s not about getting it right.
It’s about noticing…
and responding…
with care.
Moment by moment.
Gentle self care, can sometimes lessen the impact that your energy may have on you.
Join me as I continue to follow the intuitive path through deep and tragic grief towards where life is pulling me next. And maybe you can resonate with this journey.
I am so grateful that you are here.
