Life Under the Parachute with Deidre Edwards

Stacey Hawley joins hosts Ron Aaron and Carol Zernial to talk about caregiving finances on this edition of Caregiver SOS.

About Stacey:  

Stacey Hawley serves as a caregiver for her son, Nathaniel, who has a severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), suffers from Memory Loss, Mobility limiting Disabilities and PTSD. She is a dedicated professional with a passion for the legal field. She is lucky enough to have an employer that understands the challenges that she faces and allows her to work periodically as her schedule allows, which she finds immensely fulfilling, providing her with a sense of purpose and autonomy. Despite the challenges she has faced being thrown into the role of caregiver, she refuses to let caregiving define her entire identity. She is a part of the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, which will empower her to leverage her experiences and expertise to advocate for fellow caregivers, ensuring they receive the support and resources they need to thrive. Stacey and her son, Nathaniel, reside together in the sunny state of Florida and her

favorite quote is “Forward from here”. So favorite that she had it tattooed on her wrist, so that when she looks at her watch it reminds her that even though there are good days and bad, we always go forward, whatever that may look like.
