In this solo episode, Kortney is diving into an often overlooked topic—working caregivers. Last week, we had an insightful conversation on this topic, and today Kortney shares her own family's journey through this challenging landscape. Her mom became the sole caregiver for her elderly parents, which drastically affected her ability to maintain a full-time job. This episode will explore the dual roles that many employees balance, the physical and emotional toll it takes, and the critical need for supportive workplace environments. We'll discuss actionable solutions like respite care, flexible hours, and tech solutions, emphasizing the importance of employer understanding and open dialogues. Whether you're a caregiver or an employer, this episode aims to shed light on how we can create a more inclusive and supportive work culture.
