Communication and Conflict Coach
Are you managing meetings by day and medications by night? Running a business, or even keeping up at work, is challenging enough. Add caregiving for a parent, spouse, or other family member, and it can feel like you’re constantly putting out fires.
Are you trying to balance work and compassion?
You’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep juggling it all in silence.
Running a business or staying on top of your career is challenging enough. But when you’re also a caregiver — for a parent, partner, or family member — it can feel like every day is an emotional tightrope.
You’re constantly shifting gears. One minute you’re on a Zoom call, and the next, you’re scheduling doctor’s appointments, tracking meds, or calming a loved one in distress. And through it all, you’re expected to hold it together.
The truth is, this kind of double-duty takes a toll on your time, your energy, and your sense of self.
That’s why this book exists. Working It Out: Mastering Business and Caregiving was written for the people who show up for everyone else, and are finally ready to show up for themselves, too.
