Caregiving is an act of LOVE!
But who's taking care of you?
Nearly 50% of Americans are in the Sandwich Generation and since the pandemic, those numbers are growing.
So where do YOU go for support?
Who might understand the twilight zone of easing your youngest out of diapers while nudging a parent to begin using them?
The mixed emotions of handing your car keys to your newly-licensed teen while desperately trying to convince your parent they should give up their keys?
I recall when I had my first child how much I valued a “Mommy and Me” support group. It was a weekly gathering I looked forward to because other “new” moms were there who could relate, cry and laugh with me as I stumbled through this major transition in my life—just like them.
Since that time, finding support for new stages in my life has been incredibly valuable.
Learning from books, articles, and lectures is great, but I found meeting others who were in similar situations a great source of learning and comfort.
This is why I started Caregiver Coffee Break!
Whatever your “Sandwich” might look like, if you are balancing children, aging parents, and work, or some other “caregiving combo,” you are welcome to join “Caregiver Break Time.”
This is a 60-minute facilitated support group offering a place to share concerns, questions, wins, and challenges with others who really “get it!”
I've added a new group on Thursdays from 11 am - 12 pm PST, or join an existing group on Wednesdays from 6 am - 7 am PST.
As a facilitated support group, this is designed to be a safe space. Members are not permitted to solicit others, sell their products or services, correct or criticize fellow members. This is not a faith-based group—all faiths and non-secular folks welcome. This is a place to speak openly, authentically, listen, and share your own perspective while hearing from others who can relate.
The cost is $37 per month, or roughly, $10 per week. Each group is limited to 10 people so that maximum support is gained by each member. That’s a Venti Latte and a Sandwich!

Coming in 2022, a more directed e-course focused on Thriving in the Sandwich Generation!

Lead with love, always.
