Creating The Live You Love with Judy Ryan from LifeWork Systems

  1. Creating The Live You Love with Judy Ryan from LifeWork Systems Christopher MacLellan "The Bow Tie Guy" on the Whole Care Network 50:46

There is nothing more important than enjoying the life we have no matter what circumstance we face. Judy Ryan is a nationally recognized, award winning speaking and founder of Life Work Systems: Through Judy’s award winning programs, Judy provides individuals and corporations around the county the important tools that help us work smarter, get along better while creating a life to love!

You Might Know Me As The Bow Tie Guy - "Wearing a bow tie is like wearing two smiles."

When people ask me, "why did you create the Whole Care Network"... I always come back to our caregiving experience and how fortunate I was to find resources that helped me and my partner Richard Schiffer manage our caregiving journey. Every caregiver has a story; through our stories, we find validation, resources, and respite to help manage our caregiving day.

We were fortunate to have our story chronicled in a 2015 Pulitzer Prize-nominated 3-part story, “In Sickness and In Health: A Couple’s Final Journey,” which told our journey of caregiving. The story told of the challenges LGBT partners have in dealing with the medical and legal system, but it also told of the love and joy my partner Richard's last years had on our relationship.
