"Meeting Kathleen at a local community event is what first inspired me to join Living Goldenwell. Her passion and commitment to helping women navigate the complexities of caregiving and eldercare immediately stood out - it’s such important and meaningful work.
What I’ve appreciated most since joining is the quality of the community itself. It truly feels like a safe, supportive space to ask questions and receive thoughtful, valuable guidance - not just a flood of opinions. The resources are incredibly well-curated and genuinely helpful.
I would absolutely recommend Living Goldenwell to any woman supporting aging parents or navigating eldercare. Having a trusted community like this has made a huge difference as I navigate care for my mother."
Pamela, Financial Advisor & Community Member
“This is essential for professional women balancing work and family demands. I gained crucial strategies for managing my own and others' emotions, which was especially helpful as a long-distance caregiver. By applying the concept of curiosity, I unlocked deeper, more open communication with my dad. A truly encouraging and effective program…highly recommended!"
Ade, Founder & Owner, Novus Nurse Consulting & Community Member
"I have successfully tried to connect with others in the same situation and what worked was encouraging them to TRY new things and seek unfamiliar faces to get the best outcomes. I think your focus on this is absolutely amazing..."
Shirnaya, Virtual Coach & Business Manager
“It’s so energizing to connect with someone who not only gets it, but is doing something meaningful about it. What you are building is so needed, and I love that you are creating a premium, curated space for women who are navigating this chapter, not just another noisy corner of the internet.”
Carlyn, Physical Therapist, Dementia Care Educator & Visiting Guest Expert
"The program helped me go from complete overwhelm to empowered action. I had no roadmap for dealing with aging parents, especially with my dad’s increasing needs. Kathleen helped me establish boundaries and build a care plan that respects my parents and preserves my own well-being. I finally feel like I have a say in my own life again."
Denise, Entrepreneur

This community is an invaluable resource for support, expert advice, and genuine connection. Honoured to support this mission and the women behind it!”

"Kathleen is like a lighthouse for women in the sandwich generation. I was exhausted, emotionally tapped out, and didn’t even realize how burned out I was. Her compassionate, no-judgment approach helped me reframe my caregiving role, prioritize myself without guilt, and actually enjoy time with my family again."
Lisa, Middle School Teacher
"I’ve taken other workshops before, but nothing was as tailored or relatable as Caregiving From The Middle. Kathleen understands sandwich generation stress from the inside out. The resources, coaching, and community she provides helped me shift from reactive caregiving to intentional, supported decision-making."
Marina, HR Director
"I regret not finding you sooner! I spent 12 years caring for my parents, sacrificing my high paying career in the process. It was an incredibly challenging experience, and my mom passed away just five months ago. Although I have no regrets, I'm now facing the frustrating reality of being considered 'old' to re-enter my former career. It's disheartening to see how poorly our country supports caregivers."

“Thank you for providing such a safe, warm, and welcoming place to share such intimate family details. It is a rare gift. I am grateful.”

"After my dad’s dementia diagnosis, I was lost. Kathleen helped me map out a clear care plan, set boundaries with my siblings, and breathe again. I’m not just surviving—I’m leading with confidence."
Maria, Full-time Professional
“What you have built is a safe space to allow women to feel and be ‘human’. No hidden agendas, no fake smiles…just the ability to be authentic and real. Being a caregiver is one of the most “thankless” jobs as you are doing it, making this circle and environment priceless. Congratulations!”

"Living Goldenwill is an incredible space for women who are caring for elderly parents while also raising children and growing their careers. Kathleen has poured her heart, soul, and years of personal experience, lessons, education, and research into the community, Caregiving From The Middle, and the richness and depth of her work is clear no matter how you engage with it.
There's truly nothing like Living Goldenwell out there to support women struggling with this very unique and, at times, difficult season of their lives. Not only does Kathleen (and the community) provide tons of in-depth resources and learning opportunities, but she also brings in guest experts to deepen the conversations and support, and has gathered brilliant, like-minded women from different walks of life to create a truly supportive space for such an isolating time in one's life.
I cannot recommend Kathleen and Living Goldenwell's work highly enough! If you're feeling stuck in that middle season of life, feeling unseen, misunderstood, or alone, caring for your elderly parents while trying to sustain your and your family's wellbeing and a thriving career, the value you will receive from Carving From the Middle is truly priceless."

"I was exhausted, angry, and felt like I was losing myself. Kathleen helped me reset my routines, reclaim time, and remember that I matter too."
Tanya, Caregiver and Solo Mom
"Before working with Kathleen, I felt like I was drowning—managing my mom’s dementia care, raising two kids, and juggling work. I didn’t even know I was part of the 'sandwich generation' until she named it. Her caregiver coaching gave me practical tools, emotional space, and clarity. Now I feel more in control and far less alone."

Rachel, Project Manager & Caregiver
"I didn’t even know what I didn’t know. Caregiving From The Middle breaks everything down—insurance, aging, dementia knowledge, self-care and wellbeing—and gave me tools to feel capable and confident."
Elena, First-time Family Caregiver
"I was ready to walk away from my career. Kathleen helped me create a schedule that works, advocate at work, and protect my energy. I can do both—and do them well."
Priya, Working Mom
"As a single mom caring for my mom with early-stage dementia, I felt invisible. Caregiving From The Middle made me feel seen, heard, and supported. It gave me language for the burnout I’d been silently suffering. I now have a plan and a support system I trust who truly gets it. It's been life changing!"
Angela, Customer Service Supervisor
"I used to cry in the car before walking into my house. Between caring for my mother who was newly diagnosed with dementia, raising my teenage son, and managing my career—I felt like I was failing everywhere. I didn’t even know the term 'sandwich generation' existed, let alone that there were support systems for people like me.
When I found Kathleen’s Caregiving From The Middle program, I was hesitant. I didn’t think I had time to add one more thing. But what I didn’t realize was—I didn’t need more time. I needed better tools, support, and a different way to think about caregiving.
Kathleen helped me untangle years of guilt, burnout, and pressure. Through her caregiver coaching, I built a practical care plan for my mom, navigated family conversations I’d been avoiding, and most importantly, learned how to honor my own boundaries without shame.
Now, I walk into my house with peace. I’ve reclaimed my voice—not just in caregiving decisions, but in life. I’m not just surviving sandwich generation caregiving anymore. I’m leading it—with clarity, confidence, and compassion.”
Melissa, Corporate Professional, Daughter, and Single Mom
"I was one emergency room visit away from breaking. Running my business, caregiving for both aging parents (one with mobility issues, the other with dementia), and managing the emotional fallout of estranged siblings - it all felt like too much. I was consumed by sandwich generation stress and burnout.
I stumbled on Kathleen’s program through a friend, and it was like she was speaking directly to me. Her words gave language to the chaos I was feeling, and her program gave me the space to pause, breathe, and rebuild.
What’s different now? I’ve created systems that allow me to care for my parents with dignity without losing myself. I finally addressed the emotional and administrative burden I was carrying alone. I learned how to delegate, how to say “no” with grace, and how to say “yes” to myself again.
This program didn’t just save me - it changed how I live, love, and lead. Kathleen doesn’t just teach you how to navigate caregiving; she helps you transform through it."
Carla, Business Owner & Primary Caregiver to Both Parents
“Before joining Kathleen’s program, I didn’t even realize how much I was internalizing—resentment, guilt, burnout, all of it. I was snapping at my kids, avoiding conversations with my siblings, and walking on eggshells around my dad, who has dementia. I felt trapped in a role I didn’t choose but couldn’t walk away from.
Kathleen helped me name what I was feeling and gave me real tools to express myself without guilt. One of the biggest shifts? I finally had the hard conversation with my siblings about sharing the load. For the first time in years, we’re on the same page—and I don’t feel so alone anymore. This program gave me more than coping strategies; it gave me my voice back.”
