In this clip from episode 1: guest Alexis Seth, shares how she found a pamphlet during caregiving. And questioned, systemically what more could be done.
Conversations where work, life, and caregiving collide. Because leadership isn’t just about what happens at work— it’s about how you show up when life gets real.
What You’ll Take Away
Each episode offers both reflection and practical insight to help you:
Find calm and clarity in the chaos
Redefine leadership through care and humanity
Feel less alone in what you’re carrying
Reconnect with your sense of purpose, even when life feels full
Find hope
Expect honesty, humor, and the occasional reminder that it’s okay to laugh in the middle of it all. Because this isn’t about doing it all — it’s about not losing yourself along the way.
Every working professional carries more than one title. You’re leading at work, caring at home, and trying to have a life through it all — your own triple shift.
Hosted by Lauren Yankoff, executive coach and former Fortune 500 leader, and Denise M. Brown, founder and CEO of The Caregiving Years Training Academy, this podcast explores what it really takes to lead, care, and live — all at once.
This is a space for honest, human conversations about the realities of modern life and leadership. Each week, we talk with everyday professionals who are navigating careers, caregiving, and personal growth — all at the same time. These conversations are raw, reflective, and real — exploring what happens when ambition meets exhaustion, when responsibility meets identity, and when care becomes part of leadership.
We ask every guest the same three grounding questions:
What does your triple shift look like?
How has carrying those three shifts changed the way you see work, leadership, or success?
If workplaces truly understood the triple shift — what would you want them to do differently?
Through these shared stories, we uncover lessons on resilience, self-awareness, and redefining success.
