56. Invisible Work, Part 1: Double Life of Caregivers
What if I told you that nearly three out of four people at your workplace are secretly working a second job? A job with no paycheck, no benefits—and no off switch. It’s called caregiving. And chances are, you’re one of them. In this episode, we’re breaking the silence around what it really means to be a working caregiver—so you can finally feel seen, supported, and reminded: you are not alone.
In this eye-opening episode of Working Mom Moments, I expose the invisible reality that 73% of employees are also caregivers—juggling professional responsibilities with raising children, supporting aging parents, or both. From the emotional toll to the workplace silence that feeds burnout, this episode explores the mental load, working mom guilt, and the career sacrifices being made in silence.
