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.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Have you ever reached the end of the day and wondered why you feel so exhausted… even when you didn’t “do” that much? In this episode, we explore a deeper understanding of energy—not just physical, but emotional, mental, and relational. Because often, it’s not about how much you’re doing… it’s aboutwhat you’re carrying. We gently look at the invisible ways your energy gets pulled—and begin to shift toward awareness. This is not about fixing everything. It’s about noticing. And from that place, beginning to understand what truly drains you… and what restores you.
In upcoming episodes we will work on not only awareness of your energy, but how to tend to it.
