Episode 47 Mary Gaul
Show Notes:
Absolutely! Here’s a longer podcast episode description for your show notes based on the Mary Gaul interview:
In this heartfelt episode of The Sharegiving Secret, host Deborah Greenhut sits down with Mary Gaul—caregiver, business coach, and entrepreneur—to explore the powerful intersection of caregiving and running a business. Mary shares her personal journey of supporting her mother through dementia as one of eight siblings, balancing the demands of family caregiving with her responsibilities as a solopreneur.
Mary and Deborah discuss the essential role of systems, checklists, and communication for families who share caregiving duties, and how many of the same skills required in business can help caregivers prevent burnout and create sustainable routines. Mary reveals how she and her siblings divided tasks, tracked details, and found ways to maintain meaningful connections with their mother—even from a distance.
The conversation moves beyond logistics, delving into the emotional realities of caregiving: the grief that often follows the end of a caregiving journey, the importance of self-care, and the need to celebrate small wins along the way. Mary offers practical advice on managing finances, building supportive teams, and using “space and grace” to navigate the unpredictability of caregiving life.
Whether you’re a family caregiver, a business owner juggling multiple roles, or anyone seeking inspiration to blend compassion with productivity, you’ll find valuable insights in this episode. Mary’s message is clear: the work of caregiving is sacred, and every small effort counts—even when it’s hard to see in the moment.

About Me:
I have cared for many family members across the life span, experiencing the joys and challenges of child-rearing, the poignance of caring for parents, friends, and elder partners. I realized that I could not handle the stress of family caregiving 24/7/365. It was time for a new approach to caring. My health and happiness were slipping away. This is how Think to Thrive for Caregivers evolved. Let your mind meet your heart so you don’t lose track of your life.
