Reset, Rebuild, Rise: Caregiving, Founding, and Redefining Success with Lindsay Friedman

What happens when the woman who spent years caring for others suddenly becomes the one who needs care? This week on the Glow Up, Gyrl Podcast, Kyra sits down with Lindsay Friedman, four-time founder, lifelong multigenerational caregiver, and CEO of CareBloom and LTCareNav. Lindsay's journey into the caregiving space began as a professional working in memory care, hospice, and assisted living. But when her grandmother needed care, she realized that caring for a family member is an entirely different experience, and the gap in support for families navigating that was enormous. That gap became her mission. What makes this conversation so rich is that Lindsay has lived this from every single angle: as a professional caregiver, as a family caregiver, and as a care recipient herself after a catastrophic nerve injury following the birth of her daughter. In this episode: How Lindsay went from professional caregiver to founder of two companies Why caring for a family member is completely different from caring professionally The powerful reframe from "caregiver" to "care partner" and why it changes everything Why women avoid long-term care planning and how that avoidance creates a cycle How becoming a care recipient herself transformed the way Lindsay leads and shows up The honest truth about what caregiving does to a relationship when roles get blurred Why planning for long-term care is an act of self-worth and self-protection All about LTCareNav, your free online senior care advisor Whether you are currently navigating caregiving, watching a parent age, or someone who wants to break the cycle for the next generation, this episode is going to stay with you.
