Transitioning beyond the caring role
from Tune in to Care Hosted by Wellways
Caring is the most selfless act of love, but it can also get in the way of projects and goals if those caring are not properly supported. Such was the case for Gerowyn, an inspiring mum with great aspirations. During the pandemic, Gerowyn was overwhelmed caring for her mum who had a broken hip, supporting her neurodivergent children through homeschooling while nursing her own set of injuries and late autism diagnosis. Burnt out, she put her dual IT degree and career on pause. With the support of Carer Gateway coaching, Gerowyn has rebuilt her confidence and discovered a new passion – counselling. In this episode, she shares why having a career to return to is essential for every carer. We’ll also hear from Kate Mulvaney, Vocational Navigation Coordinator, who introduces Wellways Carer Gateway’s vocational coaching service designed to help carers re-enter the workforce, change direction or pursue the job they’ve always dreamed of.
