    Women & Caregiving

    Lindsay Friedman joins host Kyra Mitchell Lewis on Glow Up, Gyrl for a deeply personal conversation about caregiving from every angle — as a professional, as a granddaughter, and as a care recipient herself.

    Lindsay spent years working in memory care, hospice, and assisted living before her grandmother needed care and she realized how unprepared she truly was. Then she had a baby, suffered a catastrophic nerve injury, and became the one receiving care. Those experiences led her to found Care Bloom and LTCareNav.
