    Oct 11 2025

    Are you a working caregiver feeling exhausted, overlooked, and unsupported? Have you ever been told you’re not pushing your team hard enough when, in truth, everyone is just trying to hold it all together? You’re not alone — and this episode is for you.

    💡The shocking truth that 75% of today’s employees are caregivers in some capacity — and what that means for companies.

    💡How to build a Workplace Village, even if your leadership isn’t fully on board.

    💡Actionable strategies for leaders to foster psychological safety and a culture of trust, empathy, and collaboration.

    💡The powerful business case for retaining and engaging working mothers and caregivers, improving productivity and retention.

    💡 Why creating a women community of support and understanding is essential for sustainable success.

    If you’re a leader who wants to build a thriving, resilient team, or a professional caregiver trying to balance family life and career ambitions, this episode will give you courage to pivot, find clarity, and lead with purpose.
