How to Survive the Age of Caregiving
Leading Yourself When Care and Responsibility Collide
You may still have the same job, goals, family, and responsibilities you had before caregiving entered your life. Now there is simply more to carry.
Appointments. Decisions. Emergencies. Work deadlines. Family needs. And the mental load of always wondering what might happen next.
Dr. Thomas brings a physician’s perspective and lived understanding to the realities of caregiving, helping audiences understand why trying harder is not the answer when demands keep growing. Through relatable stories and practical insight, she helps people recognize what caregiving is asking of them, protect their capacity, and make more intentional choices about how they move through this season.
This is a hopeful, practical conversation about caring for others while continuing to care for your health, your identity, and the life you are still trying to lead.
Ideal for:
Employee events, caregiver ERGs, professional associations, women's conferences, healthcare audiences, caregiver programs, and workplace wellbeing initiatives
Audiences Will Leave With:
A better understanding of why caregiving can overwhelm even highly capable people
A practical framework for deciding what to own, oversee, and outsource
Greater clarity and confidence navigating work, care, and competing responsibilities
