Balancing Caregiving & Career: What I Learned from a Year of Working & Caregiving During a Pandemic

About this session

I am a Mother, Wife, Sister, Daughter, Friend, Teacher, Volunteer, Employee and Manager. I feel happy, exhausted, excited, angry, inspired, frustrated, empathetic and grateful. There are days when I bounce between or merge these roles that lead me to success and other days when I feel as though I struggled to find any success.

Vacillating in this way is not something I have easily embraced as I have always committed to giving 100% in every aspect of my life. Yet I have learned in the last year that it is completely reasonable and acceptable to not provide 100% of yourself to everyone or every project every day. And I am now totally okay with it.

In this chat, I want you to walk away with:

  • Tips on how to show grace to yourself
  • Strategies on how to support your colleagues and team members during stressful times
  • Knowing how to prioritize your support system and what to do if you don’t have one
