Working Daughter: Caring for Your Aging Parents While Building a Career with Liz O’Donnell

In today’s episode, my guest Liz O'Donnell shares how her becoming the primary caregiver to her parents made her realize the lack of support caregivers face in the corporate space. This is how her company Working Daughters came to life.  
Liz debunks some of the myths regarding caregiving and shares her experience of how companies can properly support caregivers. Liz and I also talk about how to prepare yourself and your parents for future caregiving responsibilities. 

My contribution as an Executive Coach for high-achieving Women is to help them reach their leadership goals while balancing career & family so that they can bring their best selves to all areas of life, guilt-free. Because as women rise through the ranks, their lived experiences will inform and influence a more inclusive culture. It’s about changing the work culture one leader at a time!
