WOMEN MAKING WAVES
I was thrilled to be asked to be a part of the WOMEN MAKING WAVES REAL TALK interviews. This is a wonderful community created "for women who aspire to show up as their true selves and who define success on their own terms."
I can't urge you strongly enough to check out what WMW is all about and to join the community.
You can read my story by clicking HERE.
THE NEW YORK TIMES
I had the privilege of being interviewed by The New York Times for the article, Pressed Into Caregiving Sooner Than Expected which highlights some of the unique circumstances of being a caregiver under the age of 50.
Each of the caregivers interviewed gives a top-of-the-waves glimpse into a part of their larger story.
I encourage you to have a look and would love to know your thoughts, especially if you are a younger caregiver.
THE LIVELY SHOW
Hear me speak with host, Jess Lively, about how I ended up in my intuition-led career as a Certified Caregiving Consultant and how her course, Life With Intention Online, helped get me here.
This 36-minute episode is less about the daily acts of caregiving but of the far reaching and surprising effect it can have on our life.

NOVEMBER 10-11, 2017: CHICAGO

The Second Annual National Caregiving Conference was two days filled with inspirational speakers (like Teepa Snow!) and workshops. I co-presented, Think About It. And Change Everything with Grit, Grace, and Gratitude, with Deb Kelsey-Davis of Soul2Soul.
I also hosted a panel discussion titled, Your After Life / Bolder Than Before: How Death Taught Me to Live.
And...I offered an intensive workshop session for family caregiving professionals titled, Boldly + Beautifully Branded, It's Your Business, where I taught attendees about creating a cohesive "look" for their caregiving business that will help them put their best foot forward.
DECEMBER 2 + 3, 2016: CHICAGO
I flew to Chicago and was a panelist in these discussions:
Preparing for the Future
and
Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone
This conference was filled with workshops, speakers, inspiration, practical knowledge and fun (hello, caregiver fashion show!). What I found inspiring was that all of the presenters spoke to finding joy within the difficult role of family caregiving. I can't wait to attend next year. Perhaps I'll meet you there!
