Life transitions can affect our careers in many ways, but few are as challenging as caring for aging parents while managing a responsible corporate position. Many of us may be facing this challenge now or will be soon. In this episode, I chat with Kim & Mike Barnes, award-winning journalists with more than 30 years of experience in TV. While their two kids are recent college graduates, they are currently caring for parents in their 80s, including Mike’s mother, who has advanced Alzheimer’s, and Kim’s single mother, who faces different challenges. Drawing on their personal and professional experiences, Kim & Mike recognized a need for advice and resources for adult children in similar situations. So, in 2021, they launched Parenting Aging Parents to provide caregivers with content, connection, and community. Their goal is to ensure that no one feels alone during this challenging time and has the information and resources needed to navigate this stage of life. This episode explores their journey and discusses adult children’s common challenges when caring for aging parents. In addition, Kim & Mike offer valuable advice and resources for those in a similar situation, such as finding the proper care for your loved ones, balancing work with caregiving responsibilities, and self-care.

For the working moms in our audience or anyone who struggles with work-life balance, I invite you to listen carefully to this conversation with Karen Clark Salinas.

She’s on a mission to help overloaded working moms redefine their work-life balance, so their goals and dreams don’t take a back seat to a crazy busy life. Or worse yet, never see the light of day.

In this episode, we’ll dig into how women can play the corporate game better, leverage our natural abilities and strengths, and use them to our advantage. Plus, we’ll get my guest’s perspective on leadership, and how women have levers they may not pull. My guest is Rochelle Janssens from Brisbane, Australia. Rochelle works with quietly determined career women ready to move into their first or next leadership role so they can make a bigger difference in the corporate game. Becoming a leader as a woman is often a different journey than for men, and Rochelle believes it helps to know the current rules of the game, so we can use them to our advantage and eventually be in a position to change the practices to benefit everyone. Her experience has taught her that leadership is about who you are being, not what you are doing, so she works with her clients to become a leader from the inside out. As a result, rather than being overworked and overwhelmed, her clients shine as their best selves, attracting the right people and opportunities without the crazy hours and elevated stress levels.
