The Guilt No One Talks About:  Why Women Feel Responsible for Everyone, Including Their Aging Parents

A universal emotional experience every woman recognizes, even if she doesn’t have language for it yet.

ABOUT SUSAN MYERS

Susan Myers is a caregiver, mom, and senior living expert with 20+ years of experience helping families navigate the emotional, relational, and practical realities of caring for aging parents.

Through her podcast Caregiving Conversations and her emotional support frameworks, she gives women the words, tools, and clarity they need to face the moments that feel heaviest, guilt, overwhelm, family conflict, decision fatigue, and the invisible emotional labor no one talks about. More about Susan here.

Her mission is simple:
To help caregivers feel seen, supported, and a little less alone

CAREGIVING BY THE NUMBERS

Why this conversation matters now more than ever.

👉 1 in 5 full-time workers is caring for an aging/ill family member
👉 61% of caregivers also work full-time
👉 45% say caregiving impacts their work performance
👉 Women provide nearly 70% of all family caregiving in the U.S.
👉 Caregivers spend 23.7 hours/week on caregiving (unpaid)
👉 88% report guilt as a recurring emotion
👉 75%+ feel they “should” be doing more
👉 Most caregivers don’t identify as caregivers until burnout has already begun

Translation:
Your audience already includes caregivers; they just don’t have a name for what they’re carrying.
