About this episode

What does commitment look like when illness changes everything? How do we care for someone we love without losing ourselves along the way? And where do we find the strength, dignity, and resilience to navigate a long goodbye? With remarkable honesty and humor, Nita Tucker shares the often-unspoken realities of being a partner caregiver—the heartbreak, exhaustion, unexpected laughter, and relentless resilience required day after day, sometimes for years. Her deeply personal story is a heartfelt gift to anyone who has cared for a loved one or is navigating that journey today. It is also a moving testament to enduring love, courage, and the human spirit. An accomplished executive coach, leadership consultant, speaker, and author, Nita has worked with organizations including Hewlett Packard, Cisco Systems, Motorola, SAP, and Flextronics, helping leaders navigate change and achieve lasting results.
