What does it really look like when men step into the caregiving role — and why are they so often invisible in the conversation?

Kyle Woody knows firsthand. He cared for his wife through Stage 4 Colon Cancer, even after she asked for a Divorce four years into their caregiving journey. Now, he cares for his two sons while working full-time. Drawing on his care experiences, Kyle founded Jack’s Caregiver Coalition — an organization dedicated to supporting and strengthening male caregivers.

In this episode of the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast, Kyle shares:

1. Why men are the most overlooked non-professional caregivers — and what needs to change
2. His organization’s bold mission to strengthen 1 million caregiving men by 2035
3. What it was like to meet Oprah and share his story as part of her book club
4. How he navigates the unique experience of co-Parenting with his late ex-wife’s boyfriend
5. His go-to self-care strategies: working with a coach, writing letters to himself, asking four morning questions, and rucking

Whether you’re a male caregiver who’s been going it alone or someone who loves one, this episode is full of honest insight and practical encouragement.
