Election Week Self-Care Strategies: Building Resilience and Finding Hope for Care

Jobshare Revolution: Flexible Work for Work-Life Balance

22. Steal my election week self-care strategies to stay sane over the next week, infused with a big dose of hope for Care.
As we wrap up our 10-part lesson-focused series I'm calling Reaching Your Goals Despite [Fill in the blank - i.e. all we've been through/return to work mandates/layoffs etc.] and we hold onto our seats for the election of a lifetime, I am more hopeful for CARE than ever.
With the untenable childcare and eldercare crisis pushing caregivers to the brink, we are at a tipping point that policymakers and companies can no longer ignore.
Fresh off a roundtable for care leaders on the Austin leg of The Care Gap's Global Tour, I'm energized by those doing the work and the ideas flowing to close the care gap together. During election week, I'm feeling more hopeful about closing the Care Gap than ever. Kamala Harris is centering Care in her campaign. Nancy Pelosi says a Care Agenda will make the biggest difference in our economy. We are SO CLOSE.
We’ve all been through a lot over the past several years, and you may be feeling election PTSD coming on like I am. Grab your fuzzy slippers, coziest PJs, and favorite comfort items...In episode 22, I'm sharing my self-care strategies to help me stay sane over the next week (including my back-pocket bonus strategy juuust in case...).
