Click here for the TL;DR

Flourishing through family caregiving requires an intentional mindset. Traditional support groups are good for feeling less isolated, but they often fall short of helping the practical problem-solving and personal growth required to avoid sacrificing career, health, or family relationships. Mixing techniques, models, and practices from corporate experience with lived experience and professional training makes for the best coaching outcome for caregivers and helps them grow into a mindset of capability and agency.

I was interviewed recently for the Business RadioX High Velocity Radio show. We talked about family dynamics, resilience, how support groups aren’t enough, delegation, prioritization, embracing uncertainty, and more.

We covered a ton of practical, meaningful topics in 30 minutes. It’s absolutely worth 30 minutes of your day, and it’s short enough to listen on a cross-town drive.

And, because the linked page has the full transcript, you don’t have to take notes!

To quote one listener:

Caregiving wisdom isn’t just about logistics, it’s about flourishing in the midst of challenge. This interview captures the balance of compassion and practicality.

Why my blog post is short (and late) this week

My son gave me an early Fathers Day/birthday gift by taking me to a World Cup game, so I wasn’t able to write my post on my usual schedule. (Yes, I do write a fresh post every week. I don’t write in advance or have AI write my posts.)
