Soft Transition: Leaving Corporate to Care for Aging Parents

from Life Jenerally Podcast · host Jen Squared

On this week's episode, Jen Squared sits down with Diana Sugihara, who left her 14-year corporate career to become the full-time caregiver for her aging parents. Diana shares why she chose a "soft transition" instead of waiting for a crisis, the physical and financial realities nobody warns you about, and how stepping back from work reshaped her identity, her marriage, and her relationship with her parents. A real, funny, and honest conversation about caregiving, timing, and letting go of "A+ work" for "good enough." ☕ Support the show: buymeacoffee.com/lifejenerally 📩 Email us: [email protected] 📸 Instagram: @life.jenerally 👥 Facebook: Life Generally Podcast
