Ep 116 - Leading in Public, Caregiving in Private with Angela Williams

BrainStorm wants to hear from you! Send us a text.

Angela Williams spent decades building a career that culminated in leading United Way Worldwide — a global network serving 48 million people across 36 countries. What almost no one knew was that she was simultaneously managing the escalating care needs of her parents. When she stepped down, she skipped the usual "on to my next chapter" script and named what was actually happening: caregiving and grief. In this episode of BrainStorm, host Meryl Comer, talks with Ms. Williams talks about why she chose candor over privacy, what the flood of responses revealed about how much caregiving stays hidden at work, and what employers, insurers, clinicians, and policymakers each owe the people holding these systems together at their own expense. This is a must listen episode!
