Meet Caregiver Coach Lauren
My journey from corporate executive to caregiving coach began in an unexpected moment: watching my father, a former firefighter and lifelong athlete, receive his Parkinson's diagnosis shortly after moving across the country to help with my children.
As a single mom leading a $400M business division with 3,000 team members at Victoria’s Secret, I intimately understood the delicate balance of high-stakes career demands and family responsibilities. But nothing prepared me for adding caregiving to this equation.
The years that followed taught me invaluable lessons about navigating the complex maze of medical decisions, family dynamics, and emotional challenges while maintaining professional momentum. Through my father's journey with Parkinson's and Lewy Body dementia, I experienced firsthand the overwhelming responsibility of making critical care decisions while trying to show up fully in all areas of life.
This experience, combined with my 20 years of coaching leaders at Fortune 500 companies like Starbucks, Target, and Victoria's Secret, revealed a crucial gap: the need for strategic, executive-level support for professionals managing their parents' care journey.
Today, I help busy professionals transform from overwhelmed caregivers to confident care leaders. My approach combines proven executive coaching methodologies with practical caregiving strategies, helping you:
Navigate complex decisions with clarity
Lead difficult family conversations with courage
Create sustainable care systems that honor both your career and family commitments
Find moments of peace and joy amid challenging transitions
As a certified life coach who has walked this path both personally and professionally, I understand that your life doesn't pause for a parent's diagnosis – it intensifies. That's why I'm committed to helping you develop a comprehensive strategy that aligns with your professional demands while ensuring quality care for your loved ones.
Together, we'll move beyond crisis management to create a caregiving approach that empowers you to lead with confidence, compassion, and clarity.
Coaching Defined: A Professional Partnership for Caregivers
Coaching is a collaborative journey where we work together to:
Clarify your specific caregiving challenges and goals
develop personalized strategies to overcome obstacles
empower you to discover and implement your own solutions
What Coaching is:
a supportive, forward-focused partnership
a process that helps you gain clarity and create actionable plans
a guided exploration of your unique caregiving experience
What Coaching is not:
medical advice or diagnosis
legal consultation
certified financial planning
therapy or psychological treatment
Our sessions will address the holistic challenges of caregiving, including financial considerations, medical navigation and legal complexities. While I bring expertise in caregiver support and strategic planning, I am not a licensed professional in medical, legal or financial fields.
My role is to provide guidance, ask insightful questions and support you in developing your own solutions. Together, we’ll focus on your goals, strengths, and potential. Helping you navigate your caregiving journey with confidence and resilience.
