💫 Wearing Two Hats (With Heart)
“Some days, I show up as the Caregiver—holding space, navigating appointments, and offering comfort in the quietest ways.
Other days, I step into my Solo-Chillpreneur shoes—building something slow, meaningful, and digital from the comfort of home.
Both roles are part of me.
One teaches me the importance of love, patience, and being present for those who matter.
The other helps me rediscover myself through creativity, purpose, and a quiet kind of independence.
I don’t always get it right. But I’ve learned that it’s okay to hold both:
Caregiving and Creating. Grieving and growing.
And when I blend the two, I don’t just survive—I build something beautifully real.”
The Caregiver Role
“Hiya! My first book ever published was about transitioning from partner to caregiver: a journey toward healing, help, and hope,” said Nevada Bird, details the profound personal and practical challenges encountered when transitioning into a caregiving role without prior preparation. The narrative highlights the emotional complexities, including pervasive guilt and regret, particularly within the context of a same-sex, age-gap relationship, where the absence of comparable narratives can amplify feelings of isolation.
The author’s personal experience underscores the significant emotional and logistical burden carried by LGBTQ+ partners navigating the aging and illness of a loved one. This journey, marked by a lack of established roadmaps and relevant conversations, propelled the creation of the book as a means of processing and providing guidance.
The resulting debut book, “Love and Caregiving for LGBTQ+ Couples in Age-Gap Relationships,” published under the pen name Nevada Bird, is a hybrid of memoir and practical guidebook. It chronicles the author’s two-year process of writing, grieving, and personal growth, evolving from a state of confusion to becoming a compassionate advocate. The book blends introspective reflection with actionable advice, designed to support others on similar caregiving paths.
Key areas addressed within the guide include:
- Advance Care Planning: Strategies for preparing for unforeseen circumstances.
- Daily Realities of Caregiving: Insights into routines, establishing boundaries, and managing emotional tolls.
- Support Systems: Guidance on seeking assistance from external services, social networks, and internal resilience.
- Self-Care: Techniques for maintaining personal well-being while fulfilling caregiving responsibilities.
- Societal Judgment: Tools for navigating external and internal criticism related to caregiving roles.
- Coping and Grieving: Strategies for processing loss and choosing love amidst adversity.
The book is presented as an authentic and hopeful resource for individuals who may feel overlooked in their caregiving experiences, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community. It serves as a testament to resilience, queer love, and the potential for creative redemption. The publication under the Nevada Bird persona signifies a commitment to healing and the transformative power of art.

The Solo-Chillpreneur Role
Ever felt like the internet’s “make money online” vibe was screaming at you? You know, the one that promises riches if you just “hustle harder” and “wake up at 5 AM to crush it”? If diving into affiliate marketing left you buried under 20 open tabs, tangled in funnels, and frozen by endless “what ifs,” you’re not alone. It’s like trying to drink from a firehose while someone’s yelling, “GO FASTER!”
Our founder (let’s call them “The Solo-Chillpreneur”) felt this exact dread. Nevada wanted flexible income from home, but not at the cost of his mental health or quiet lifestyle. Every “publish” button felt like a landmine. Defeated, he realized it wasn’t about being lazy. It was about finding a way that vibied with his actual human energy-–slow, mindful, sustainable.
So, Nevada ditched the noise and started experimenting, building his own “calm corner.” This became the Solo-Chillpreneur path – a quiet, intentional way to build income without losing your mind or your heart.
The Chillpreneur’s Secret Sauce:
- Embrace the Beginner Mind: Forget needing to be a pro. Start small, learn one piece at a time, and document your messy wins (and flops!). It’s like learning to ride a bike, not trying to win the Tour de France on day one.
- Follow Calm, Not Chaos: Say goodbye to panic productivity. Choose slow growth over viral trends. Create when you’re grounded, not overwhelmed. Think focused mornings, gentle checklists, and a workflow that actually fits your rhythm.
By choosing this slower, more mindful approach, you gain clarity over chaos, confidence that actually sticks, and a business that feels like a warm hug, not a stressful marathon. It’s a flexible path toward income that truly fits your life, bringing joy without the crushing weight of perfection.
Ready to try a chill approach to online income? Start right where you are. Messy is okay. Let’s grow something real—without burning out.
