Description

Why do women still feel the need to hide their pregnancies at work? Juggling caregiving with a career is a struggle. People are living and working longer and starting families later. Women and others often struggle in silence with the impacts of infertility treatments, pregnancy loss, postpartum depression, adoption processes, finding quality childcare, and more. While caring for parents and other elders is becoming a larger responsibility. 


This week host Carla Grimman and Sarah Iacoe, Director of Strategic Operations and Board Relations for the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, talk about “the juggle.” Then Carla is joined by Michele Pankratz, Manager of Organizational Development at the City of Vancouver, to discuss the complications and strategies of caregiving and pursuing leadership.
