When Your Parents Need You: The Hidden Career Cost of Elder Care

This episode explores the growing, often-hidden impact of elder care on women in the workforce — from 600 people quitting daily in the UK to the 1.4 million ‘sandwich carers’ balancing children, careers and aging relatives. Hosts SJ and Pegsy discuss the emotional toll, anticipatory grief, financial pressures, workplace stigma and practical resources, and offer compassionate advice for both carers and managers on how to navigate and support this major life transition. https://www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/care/ https://www.carersuk.org/help-and-advice/ https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/ https://www.nhs.uk/social-care-and-support/help-from-social-services-and-charities/getting-a-needs-assessment/ Download and share our podcast The Heels in the Hierarchy Podcast | heelsinthehierarchy Subscribe to our channel!  https://www.youtube.com/@HeelsintheHierachy #heelsinthehierarchy #authenticleadership #womeninleadership https://buymeacoffee.com/heels_in_the_hierarchy
