I've been where you are. Overwhelmed, exhausted, and wondering if I was doing enough for the person I loved while watching my own life disappear.
After years of feeling like I was drowning, I discovered something important: you can't pour from an empty cup, but you also can't fill it while it's still pouring.
That's why I created the BEACON framework - not from theory, but from real life. From late-night worry sessions, difficult family conversations, and the hard--won wisdom that comes from learning to care without losing yourself.
I help caregivers like you find the balance between excellent care and personal survival.
When I was first diagnosed with short term dementia resulting from a pulmonary circulation disease, my wife and I were at a loss for how to move forward. Thankfully our good friend Patricia Boswell was able to provide us with her best practices for home care. By putting Patricia's advice to work, we were able to keep me safe at home until the dementia symptoms abated, without causing harm to me or burnout to my wife.

Every organization today is feeling the effects of a changing workforce. Nearly 1 in 5 employees is actively caring for an aging parent, a child with special needs, or a family member recovering from illness or injury. This is no longer a “personal issue”—it’s a workforce issue that affects productivity, performance, retention, and culture.
Executives want high-performing teams, but untrained, unsupported caregiver-employees face stress, burnout, absenteeism, unexpected leave, and decreased engagement. Employees are trying to balance demanding work schedules while managing complex caregiving duties at home—and most are afraid to communicate their challenges to management out of fear of being judged, penalized, or derailed in their career progression.
When organizations invest in caregiver training and support, they see measurable benefits:
Supporting caregiver-employees is not just compassionate—it’s strategic.
Our training program equips employees with essential skills and resources to successfully balance caregiving and career responsibilities, including:
Leadership also receives guidance on how to support caregiver-employees while maintaining high performance standards:

By implementing a structured caregiver-support program, your organization becomes:
Supporting caregivers is not a cost—it is an investment. It protects your talent pipeline, reduces turnover expenses, builds loyalty, and strengthens your culture.
