Mom and Dad Inc.: Easier Ways to Start

Have you ever considered that your #career skills might be your secret weapon in helping you better survive caring for your aging parents well?  In this episode, I dive into how to think, and work through your #caregiving years, a bit differently.  I’ve often said that caring for our parents is like running a highly complex small enterprise.  That sounds a bit cold, but the ups, downs, ins, and outs can often be best managed if we understand how to leverage our career skills well. 

Listen in as I break down the components which are designed to help you manage this part of your life, and your # parents' care, with greater ease.  Thinking about how each aspect works together, how you can plan, and who your customers, vendors, and staff members are, can help relieve the added stress and strain that impacts our lives, #family, and careers.

Caring for our aging parents, or another loved one, isn’t easy, yet stepping back and looking at how the structural blocks of your care responsibilities work together can help. I’m pretty this episode will help you manage your caregiving years with a bit less stress.  It may even help your career!
