Between Then and Now

Balancing the demands of caring for her aging parents, raising a young child, and navigating life after divorce, a woman in her 40s finds herself stretched in every direction—yet nowhere fully present for herself. As the weight of responsibility builds, she begins to recognize the quiet ways she has put her own needs, desires, and identity on hold. Through moments of humor, tension, and unexpected connection, she is pushed to confront what it means to show up for everyone else while slowly disappearing from her own life. Between Then and Now is a deeply human story about caregiving, womanhood, and the complexity of starting over—an intimate look at the quiet courage it takes to choose yourself, even when everything else is asking you not to.
