Keep it Moving

Chris Punsalan

Keep It Moving is my place to document the journey in real-time, sharing what I’m learning as I navigate change, take action, and build something meaningful. After spending eight years as a full-time caregiver, I found myself searching for what’s next. Along the way, I’ve explored business, fitness, and purpose—all while realizing one simple truth: clarity doesn’t come from overthinking—it comes from action. Whether you're feeling stuck or just want to keep growing, this is a space to learn, reflect, and, most importantly—keep it moving.

    Why Caregiving for a Parent Feels Impossible (and What Actually Helps)

    In this episode, I sit down with Shauna Sweeney, founder and CEO of tendercare, to talk about the caregiving journey that inspired her to leave a career at Facebook and build one of the most impactful caregiver support platforms today.Shauna shares the deeply personal story of her dad’s early-onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis, what it was like growing up as a single-parent household, and the emotional transition from being a daughter to becoming a caregiver.We explore the highs and lows of family caregiving - from missed insurance deadlines and financial scares to the unexpected gift of finding Da, the trusted caregiver who became part of their family.We also dive into the other side of Shauna’s life: her years at Facebook during its hyper growth era, where she led storytelling, global partnerships, and industry intelligence. She opens up about what it felt like to “hit a plateau” at one of the biggest companies in the world while struggling behind the scenes to manage her father’s care.That contrast, groundbreaking technology at work and broken caregiving systems at home, became the spark that led to tendercare. Today, tendercare provides digital tools, support, and solutions for caregivers: from the Magic Magnet™, a free fridge magnet that gives EMTs instant access to secure medical info, to a caregiver-first app designed to reduce overwhelm and provide clarity in the hardest moments.Shauna reminds us that while technology can never erase the pain of caregiving, it can give families peace of mind and help them focus on what matters most: love, dignity, and presence.
