You're already doing life-changing work supporting patients and families. But what about the caregiver—the spouse, daughter, or sibling—quietly holding the entire system together while running on empty?

They show up to every appointment, ask the right questions, and smile through the hardest moments. But behind closed doors, they're:

  • Burning out at alarming rates
  • Struggling with guilt, anxiety, and isolation
  • Leaving jobs to manage caregiving responsibilities
  • Developing their own health problems from chronic stress

When caregivers burnout, everyone suffers

The research is clear: 

  • An estimated 23% of caregivers report that their health has worsened as a result of caregiving
  • Exhausted caregivers make more medication errors and miss critical care instructions
  • Organizations spend more resources on crisis intervention instead of prevention

But here's what most support programs miss: Caregivers don't need another checklist. They need permission to prioritize their own wellbeing without guilt. They need validation that they're doing enough. They need hope that doesn't depend on circumstances changing.

I don't just inspire—I restore.

Most speakers tell caregivers to "practice self-care" and "find balance." I tell them the truth: You're not broken, you're just maxed out. And you deserve support that doesn't ask anything more of you.

My keynotes don't add to their to-do list. They give caregivers:

  • Permission to feel joy without guilt
  • Tools that work in minutes
  • The reminder that they matter too—not just as caregivers, but as whole people
  • Hope that doesn't require waiting for life to get easier first

I'm not speaking as an outside expert looking in. I'm speaking as someone with 30+ years of chronic illness experience and 10+ years as a family caregiver who found a way through that actually works.

    Signature Keynote

    "Caregiving Without Burnout: The Shift from Surviving to Living - Right Now!"

    The keynote that transforms exhausted caregivers into empowered advocates for their own wellbeing


    Your Caregivers show up to every appointment, ask the right questions, and hold everyone together. But behind their strength lies a devastating truth: research consistently shows that family caregivers experience significantly higher rates of stress, depression, and declining physical health while caring for others. They're drowning in a sea of medical appointments, insurance calls, and sleepless nights—convinced that putting themselves last is what love looks like.


    This keynote shatters that dangerous myth.

    What makes this keynote different:

    Most speakers tell caregivers to "practice self-care" and "find balance." I tell them the truth: You're not broken, you're just maxed out—and you deserve support that doesn't ask anything more of you. This isn't another lecture about bubble baths and yoga classes. This is evidence-based hope delivered by someone who's lived through decades of medical crises and family caregiving—and found a way to truly live without waiting for life to calm down first.

    Immediate Implementation Tools

    • Evidence-based strategies they can use before they reach their car
    • The "Pause"—a reset that works in hospital waiting rooms
    • Permission slip for setting boundaries without guilt

    • Permission to prioritize their wellbeing without waiting for circumstances to change

    • A renewed sense of identity beyond the caregiving role
    • The revolutionary understanding that how they show up is where their power lies

      The transformation

      This keynote doesn't just inspire—it transforms. Your caregivers won't leave feeling guilty about needing support. They'll leave feeling empowered to claim it. They won't leave with another impossible standard to meet. They'll leave with permission to be human while caring for humans.

      Most importantly, they'll leave knowing: Caring for themselves isn't selfish—it's sustainable. And sustainable is how love actually lasts.
