When Helpers Overstep: Calling Out Social Worker Overreach in Hospice Care

Have you ever trusted a professional—only to feel blindsided when they stepped out of line?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a real, raw experience my husband and I had with a hospice social worker who crossed major boundaries. From questioning financial decisions to challenging legal authority, this episode exposes what happens when people in power overreach, and why it’s crucial to stand firm in what you know is true.

You’ll learn:

• What a hospice social worker is supposed to do (and NOT supposed to do).
• How to spot when someone is overstepping in care situations.
• Why lucid moments don’t equal mental capacity—and how to trust the deeper patterns.
• How to hold your power when professionals or family try to make you question yourself.
• What POA really means, and how to navigate manipulation from both loved ones and caregivers.

This is for anyone who’s ever been gaslit by a professional—or felt like they had to defend themselves for just doing what’s right.
