The Caregiving Crossroads: Choices, Challenges, and Courage

November 20, 2025 @ 7:20 AM - 9:00 AM
Free

Whether you are currently a caregiver, have been one, or anticipate that role in the future, this conversation will speak to your heart.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • The landscape of caregiving — who caregivers are, and why it touches so many lives
  • The crossroads we face — deciding when and how to step in, while balancing family, work, and self
  • The challenges — emotional, physical, financial, and relational
  • The courage — how caregiving teaches us resilience and deep empathy
  • Self-care and support — because taking care of yourself is not selfish
  • Resources and shared wisdom — practical help and encouragement

This session will blend information, empathy, and group wisdom because the insights of your TMD sisters is invaluable.

Our speaker is Cyndi Mariner
Cyndi’s passion for supporting caregivers was ignited due to the deeply personal and overwhelming experience of watching her mom care for her dad. Years after his passing, Cyndi began caring for her mom through illness while simultaneously caring for her brother through a serious illness of his own.

Recognizing that she needed to care for herself during that time, Cyndi joined a walking group supporting caregivers through local health organizations. Seeing the potential for additional support services, Cyndi quickly found herself leading the program and building a robust, successful offering.

Upon her mom’s passing, Cyndi used her business and marketing background along with the wisdom gained through direct experience to develop Breathing Spaces as an ever-expanding resource for both family caregivers and professional caregivers alike. She’s the Founder & CEO of Breathing Spaces.
