Caring for Yourself When Caregiving for Those You Love
This episode is all about loss. Trigger warning we talk about death, covid, and overcoming with my guest Ada Chen, who is the founder of Chuan’s Promise, a sustainable natural skincare line. Her mission is to make the world a better place through leadership, empathy and driving cultural change. She was inspired to start Chuan’s Promise by her experience of caregiving for her late dad, and is committed to changing the beauty industry from the inside out by pioneering innovative sustainability practices and donating 5% of all sales to social justice nonprofits. Prior to founding her business, Ada led product marketing for a large, public tech company and early stage startups, and holds degrees in Finance and Economics from NYU’s Leonard N. Stern School of Business.
In this conversation we explore:
+ navigating being your parent’s caretaker
+ using values to make tough decisions during unpredictable transitions
+ how adversities and tragedy can provide unexpected inspiration for your personal mission
+ how our workplaces can play a better role to support people who are caregivers or experiencing loss
