Melody on caregiving, resilience, and what it takes to keep showing up — for the people who rely on you, and for yourself.
Melody shares her experiences on both sides of caregiving — as a primary caregiver to her son with special needs, and as a care recipient after a serious car accident. She offers practical advice on creating the mental, emotional, and physical space caregivers need to show up as their best selves.
Caregiving touches everyone. At some point most of us will have a child, an aging parent, a spouse, or someone important to us who needs help — and that reality follows people to work. Melody talks through the issue from three sides at once: caregiver, business owner, and employee.
A wide-ranging conversation on caregiving, resilience, and staying anchored to your own purpose while carrying responsibility for someone else’s wellbeing.
