I help high-achieving women caring for aging parents reclaim their time, energy, and sense of self so they can thrive at work and at home without guilt.
Most working daughters struggle with these things
You manage meetings and deadlines while juggling calls from doctors and coordinating care for aging parents. Most working daughters live in a constant state of emotional multitasking, meeting everyone else’s needs while quietly ignoring their own. You may be exhausted, but are still performing at the same level. Capable but stretched thin. And even though you rarely complain, burnout is a real concern.
What makes it harder is that no one sees the full weight they carry. Friends don’t always get it. Work isn’t flexible. Family often assumes she’s got it handled. And underneath it all is guilt, for not doing more or for wanting a break. Most working daughters feel alone in this experience. But they’re not—and they don’t have to navigate it alone.
The Transformation
-
Reclaim your time
This isn’t just about having an open calendar. It’s about creating space to breathe, think, and rest without the pressure of constantly managing others' needs. Working daughters often live in a state of reaction, tending to everything but themselves. Reclaiming your time means shifting from survival to intention, so you can use your energy on what actually matters in this season of life.
-
Reclaim your identity
When you’re the one everyone depends on, it’s easy to lose sight of who you are outside of caregiving and career. Many working daughters find themselves wondering, “Where did I go?” Reclaiming your identity means reconnecting with your voice, your values, and the parts of you that have been quietly waiting for attention. You’re more than your roles, and it’s time to feel like yourself again.
-
Reclaim your self-trust
Years of putting others first can erode your confidence in making decisions that prioritize your needs. Reclaiming self-trust means learning to set boundaries without guilt, say no without explanation, and choose what feels right without second-guessing. It’s the foundation that allows you to lead your life with clarity, integrity, and calm, even in the midst of chaos.
My Story
Hi, I’m Lauren Yankoff.
I thought they were coming to support me. Instead, I became the support.
My caregiving journey began when my father—a former firefighter and lifelong athlete—was diagnosed with Parkinson’s shortly after relocating across the country to be closer to me and my kids.
At the time, I was a single mom leading a $400M division at Victoria’s Secret, managing a team of 3,000, and doing everything I could to hold it all together. I had built my career on navigating complexity and high stakes. But nothing prepared me for the quiet, relentless demands of caregiving layered on top of leadership, parenting, and the expectations I placed on myself.
The emotional load was staggering. The logistics were nonstop. And yet, I kept performing. Because that’s what high-achieving women do—we show up, no matter what.
I found myself making critical care decisions in hospital parking lots between conference calls. I was tracking medications, managing nurses, and filling out skilled nursing paperwork while trying to lead with grace and hold my family together. It was isolating. It was overwhelming. And it changed everything.
The Process
Reset
This is where we pause the chaos.
Together, we assess what's urgent, what's depleting you, and where your energy is leaking. We quiet the noise, mentally, emotionally, and logistically, so you can finally breathe. From here, we create space to think, feel grounded, and start making choices instead of just managing crises.
Realign
This is where we get clear.
We uncover what truly matters in this season of your life, then begin releasing what no longer serves you. We shift the decision-making lens from guilt and obligation to values and intention. This is the point where you stop reacting to everything around you and start responding with clarity and compassion.
Reclaim
This is where you reconnect with yourself.
Not the caregiver, not the executive, you. We rebuild your sense of self beyond your roles, and design sustainable rhythms, boundaries, and support systems that reflect your reality. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about owning what matters most and leading your life from a place of calm courage.

Why I Do This
There was no model for what I was going through. No framework. No permission to fall apart or ask for help. So I built what I needed, and now, I offer it to women like you.
Throughout my career, I’ve coached senior leaders at companies like Starbucks, Target, and Victoria’s Secret. I’ve helped them navigate complex decisions, grow through disruption, and lead from their values. But caregiving revealed something no corporate training ever touched—how little support there is for the woman carrying it all.
There’s leadership coaching for the professional.
There’s empathy for the family caregiver.
But there’s almost nothing for the woman doing both, at full capacity, all the time.
That’s why I created The Empowered Executive, a coaching space designed specifically for high-performing women who are navigating the unspoken intersection of caregiving, career, and self. Not to help you juggle more plates, but to help you decide what’s truly yours to carry. And to lead your life with clarity, calm, and integrity, even now.
Because success looks different in this season.
And you deserve support that honors everything you’re holding.
