In this conversation, Nicole speaks with Shauna Sweeney, caregiver, founder and CEO of tendercare, about what caregiving asks of us when Love reshapes our lives. Drawing from caring for her dad with early-onset Alzheimer’s from 3,500 miles away, Shauna shares how families can move from crisis to Clarity and why systems must center families.
Shauna reflects on the emotional collision of identities that caregiving brings daughter, advocate, organizer, protector, and what she learned from her dad about dignity, autonomy, and the desire to still be known. We talk about inequity in caregiving, why families must be treated as the true power source of care, and how tendercare is challenging a system that too often centers institutions over people.
